A native of Westfield, Dr. Pinto earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University College in Marietta, Georgia. Before returning to New Jersey and opening his practice in Westfield, Dr. Pinto practiced in Centreville, Virginia, for several years.

Dr. Pinto is also a provider of functional medicine, a practice that focuses on optimal performance of the body and its systems. With conventional blood, allergy, saliva, stool, and urine testing, lab ranges assess only disease. Functional range analysis looks beyond illness and into how well the body’s own self-healing mechanisms work. A patient doesn’t have to be ill to benefit from functional medicine.
Dr. Pinto holds a number of professional certifications and titles. He is a Fellow of the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture (FIAMA), a Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition (DACBN), a Diplomate of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition (DCBCN), a certified clinical nutritionist (CCN), and a board-certified Atlas Orthogonist (BCAO).Dr. Pinto founded Advanced Wellness of Westfield in 2010. The clinic serves patients living in the Westfield, Clark, Scotch Plains, Cranford, Summit, Springfield, Mountainside, Berkeley Heights, and New Providence areas of New Jersey.
“Dr. Pinto thoroughly explained what needed to be done to relieve my symptoms. He did a variety of techniques (none of which were painful) until he got the results he wanted. I left feeling much better and with a plan to address my other issues. It was a very positive experience.”

Alenka Ravnik-List brings warmth, wisdom, and decades of experience to her work as a registered dietician-nutritionist, helping our patients use food as a powerful tool to support long-term vitality, hormonal balance, and healthy aging.
Originally from Argentina, Alenka earned her Master’s degree in Nutrition from the University of Buenos Aires. Her career has spanned continents and disciplines, from individualized nutrition counseling to large-scale educational programs developed in collaboration with institutions like Mount Sinai Medical Center and AstraZeneca.
Alenka’s expertise lies in precision and functional nutrition, anti-inflammatory eating patterns, glucose and insulin regulation, and identifying and addressing nutritional deficiencies. She plays a key role in supporting patients through hormonal transitions such as perimenopause and menopause and works closely with those using GLP-1 medications to optimize metabolic health in a thoughtful, whole-person way.
For over 15 years, Alenka has collaborated with Dr. Barbieri in a shared mission: to help women feel well now—and thrive for decades to come. Together with the rest of our clinical team, she brings a truly integrative approach to care, rooted in connection, longevity, and the understanding that food is one of our greatest allies in health.
When she's not supporting patients, Alenka enjoys yoga, Zumba, and travel. Her favorite meal? A colorful plate of fresh seafood and vibrant veggies.
