New to Meliora
Here's how to become a patient.
Meliora isn't a walk-in clinic. Every patient starts with a comprehensive lab draw and a 60-minute consultation with Dr. Chua — so that your care plan is built on your actual biology, not assumptions.
How it works
Request a consultation
Fill out a short new patient inquiry form. Our team reviews it and reaches back within one business day to schedule your lab draw appointment.
Start your inquiry →Lab draw at our office
We draw blood in-office — a comprehensive panel covering hormones, nutrients, thyroid, and metabolic markers. This happens at least 14 days before your consultation so Dr. Chua has time to review everything.
Your 60-minute consultation
A real conversation with Dr. Chua. She walks through your results against optimal ranges — not population averages — connects the findings to your symptoms, and builds your personalized treatment plan.
Your plan begins
Hormones, supplements, gut support, lifestyle adjustments — whatever your labs and symptoms point to. We follow up at five weeks, then every 6 to 12 weeks while we optimize, and every 3 to 6 months once you get there. Healing is iterative, and Dr. Chua monitors your response the whole way.
Your Consultation
A real conversation — wherever you are.
Most consultations happen face-to-face on a secure telehealth visit. You bring your questions; Dr. Chua brings your labs, your history, and a plan tailored to both.
Patient's side — from your kitchen, office, or anywhere private.
Dr. Chua's side — from her Evanston, IL office.
Is this right for me?
Meliora is a good fit if any of these sound like you.
- You've been told your labs are normal — but you don't feel normal
- You're navigating perimenopause, menopause, or hormonal changes at any stage
- You have fatigue, brain fog, low libido, poor sleep, or unexplained weight changes
- You want a physician who looks for root causes, not just symptom management
- You're ready to be thorough — this process requires a real lab draw and a real consultation
About Dr. Chua
Triple board-certified. One framework.
Dr. Rowena Chua is board-certified in Internal Medicine, Neurology, and Integrative Medicine. Her Neurology background is why the Meliora Method addresses the nervous system and brain-hormone connection in ways most integrative practices don't.
The Meliora Method™
Root causes, not symptom management.
The Meliora Method is a five-pillar framework covering hormones, nervous system, nutrition, gut health, and metabolic function. Every patient is evaluated across all five — because these systems don't fail in isolation.
