Healing Begins with Understanding Your Root Cause

Here’s what their saying and the results 👇

Allow me to introduce myself!

Hi! I am Dr. Cleo Amelia

From a young age, I battled with immune issues—asthma, eczema, rashes—and persistent gut problems that left me feeling constantly bloated and uncomfortable. Growing up in an unstable household compounded these challenges, and my health struggles only intensified as I faced my own battles with substance abuse.

By my mid-20s, my symptoms had escalated to severe facial flushing, swelling, joint pain, low thyroid function, and a loss of my menstrual cycle that persisted for years. Despite numerous visits to traditional Western doctors, I was repeatedly told, "your labs look fine" or given unhelpful suggestions to "try this pill." I was desperate for answers and relief.

My turning point came when I discovered acupuncture and Chinese herbs. This transformative experience—not just in symptom relief but in being truly heard by a healthcare provider—ignited my passion for alternative medicine.

At 26, unfulfilled by my work in Chicago's nightlife and unsure how to leverage my business degree, I enrolled in the Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Program at Pacific College of Health and Science. It was there that I was introduced to Functional Medicine, and everything clicked. I realized my health struggles were not just challenges to overcome, but a calling to help others find the answers and support that had eluded me for so long. I dedicated myself to providing the care and understanding that had profoundly changed my life.

It was through Functional Medicine that I found out I had Lyme disease, Chronic Epstein Barr, and Mold Toxicity. While some may see these results as daunting, I was ecstatic to have a clear answer as to why I felt fatigued and inflamed all the time and a treatment plan that worked with my body instead of against it.

Functional Medicine is a systems-oriented approach, addressing the root causes of illness. It involves understanding the origins, prevention, and treatment of complex, chronic disease. It supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual

As a practitioner, I am committed to empowering my patients, helping them navigate their health challenges with empathy, innovative care, and the comprehensive support they deserve through my lab-driven root cause approach.
