For Immediate Release

EVANSTON, IL — Meliora Integrative Medicine, the Evanston-based integrative health practice founded by triple board-certified physician Dr. Rowena Chua MD, today announced the launch of its redesigned website and digital platform at melioramed.com.

The new platform introduces the Meliora Method™ — Dr. Chua's proprietary five-pillar educational health program spanning hormones, the nervous system, metabolism, sleep, and the mind — through a comprehensive digital experience designed to meet patients where they are.

"Meliora means 'always toward better' in Latin. This platform reflects exactly that — meeting every woman at the beginning of her journey and walking alongside her with the precision she deserves."— Dr. Rowena Chua, MD

Introducing Guided Precision Care

The launch debuts Meliora's signature physician-led AI care model. Building on the same "triadic care" approach recently validated by Google DeepMind research — patient, physician, and AI working together — Meliora's AI assistant, Meli, is grounded entirely in Dr. Chua's clinical protocols, not a generic medical model. Dr. Chua remains the final clinical authority on every patient decision.

Key Platform Features

• The free Meliora Vitality Score Quiz — a 6-question personalized health discovery tool aligned to the five pillars of the Meliora Method
• Guided Precision Care — physician-protocoled AI care guidance, available between appointments under Dr. Chua's clinical authority
• DEXA body composition scanning — one of the few practices on the Chicago North Shore offering clinical-grade DEXA for metabolic optimization
• Comprehensive hormone optimization, IV nutritional therapy, and medical weight loss services
• The Meliora Academy — educational content for patients and healthcare professionals
• Hormone Horoscope — a playful interactive experience designed to make hormonal health approachable, part of an emerging library of nine educational mini-experiences

About Dr. Chua

Dr. Chua is board-certified in Neurology, Integrative Medicine, and Obesity Medicine — a rare combination that informs her approach to treating the neurological, hormonal, and metabolic dimensions of women's health simultaneously. A Northwestern University alumna, Dr. Chua practiced for several of her early years at Evanston's Heartwood Center for Body, Mind, and Spirit before founding Meliora Integrative Medicine in 2013, and has been part of the Evanston wellness community for over a decade.

Northwestern Community Initiative

In recognition of Meliora's deep ties to Evanston, Dr. Chua is offering Northwestern University students, faculty, and staff 15% off DEXA body composition scans with valid Northwestern ID. The offer underscores Meliora's commitment to making precision metabolic health more accessible to its home community.

The practice is located in Evanston, IL and serves patients in-person and via telehealth. New patient consultations can be booked at melioramed.com.
