Complex Chronic Illness
If you're experiencing symptoms that don't seem to fit traditional diagnoses—or if you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but still feel unwell—you are not alone. We invite you to reach out and take the first step toward reclaiming your health.

Our Approach to Complex Chronic Illness
At the core of our clinic is a singular mission: to bring clarity, compassion, and real solutions to those struggling with complex, often misunderstood chronic illnesses. We specialize in supporting patients with conditions such as:
-Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic -Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
-Fibromyalgia
-Chronic Lyme-like Illness
– Long COVID
These conditions can be life-altering—marked by persistent fatigue, pain, cognitive changes, and a host of other symptoms that don’t always fit neatly into a standard medical model. That’s why our care model goes beyond conventional approaches.
Why Our Approach Is Different
✦ Investigative, Whole-Body Testing
Standard labs often fail to capture the nuanced imbalances at the root of chronic illness. We go deeper, using advanced and functional lab testing to uncover markers of mitochondrial dysfunction, immune dysregulation, chronic inflammation, gut dysbiosis, mineral imbalances, and more.
✦ Personalized Natural Therapies
We offer targeted, evidence-informed therapies such as:
- Neurotherapy and qEEG brain mapping
- Botanical medicine and adaptogens
- Targeted nutritional support
- Gentle detoxification protocols
- Mitochondrial and immune support regimens
These therapies are designed to support your body’s intrinsic healing intelligence while minimizing side effects.
✦ Addressing the Emotional Landscape
We recognize that complex chronic illness doesn’t just affect the body—it impacts every facet of your life. Emotional health, trauma history, and stress response patterns are deeply entwined with physical symptoms. That’s why we provide compassionate support to help you build emotional resilience and navigate your healing journey with confidence.
A Relationship-Centered Model of Care
Dr. Gaetano Morello brings over three decades of experience in natural and integrative medicine, with a special focus on chronic complex illness. He takes the time to understand your story, your struggles, and your goals. At our clinic:
• We keep our patient base intentionally small for more personalized care.
• You’ll have increased access to your practitioner and a collaborative team approach.
• We work to uncover the “why” behind your symptoms—not just manage them.
From your first visit, our goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Conditions We Treat
Chronic Lyme-like Illness
Even after treatment for acute Lyme disease, some individuals experience lingering symptoms such as fatigue, joint and muscle pain, brain fog, and insomnia. This post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome—or what many call chronic Lyme—demands a deeper investigation into persistent immune dysregulation, coinfections, and environmental toxic load. Through comprehensive testing and a systems biology approach, we aim to uncover hidden contributors and restore vitality with gentle, yet powerful, interventions.
Long COVID
Long COVID, or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), has added a new layer of complexity to chronic illness care. Patients often present with fatigue, shortness of breath, autonomic dysfunction, cognitive disturbances, and mood changes—many of which mirror ME/CFS. Our clinic combines the latest research with integrative protocols, designed to rebalance immunity, support mitochondrial function, and address the multisystem disruption caused by viral persistence or immune overactivation.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
ME/CFS is a debilitating condition marked by profound fatigue that is not relieved by rest and worsens with physical or mental activity (post-exertional malaise). Patients often experience sleep disturbances, cognitive impairment (“brain fog”), pain, and sensitivity to environmental stimuli. While its exact cause remains unknown, ME/CFS often follows a viral or bacterial infection and requires a nuanced diagnostic approach. We offer customized support through detailed evaluation, targeted natural therapies, and restorative care strategies.
Fibromyalgia
Recognized by the American College of Rheumatology, fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and cognitive challenges. It is more prevalent in women and often overlaps with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome or chronic migraines. Our integrative treatment approach focuses on reducing systemic inflammation, supporting nervous system regulation, and addressing underlying biological imbalances—without relying on medications that merely suppress symptoms.
