My path into functional and longevity medicine started with my own health struggle. After being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, I found very little relief through conventional care. I kept hearing that my labs were “normal,” but I knew something in my body was off. That experience pushed me to look deeper and understand why so many women are still dismissed even when they don’t feel well.

It also changed the way I practice medicine.

Today, I specialize in women’s health, hormone optimization, thyroid healing, and cellular rejuvenation through a functional and integrative approach. I’m a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of experience in healthcare, with a background in emergency and trauma medicine, psychology, and plastic surgery.

I’m a BIOTE® Certified Provider in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, certified in peptide therapy through the SSRP Institute, and trained in longevity medicine through nuBioAge. I’m also an Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) provider, and a Master Aesthetic Injector. But what matters most to me is helping women finally feel heard, understood, and supported.

I am honored to serve as part of the Expert Panel for the Lifestyle Medicine Initiative of the Global Wellness Institute, collaborating with leaders in wellness, prevention, and longevity medicine to help shape the future of integrative health. This role reflects my commitment to combining evidence-based medicine, lifestyle interventions, and whole-person healing to support long-term vitality, health span, and human optimization.

At DeLucia Vitality, I focus on treating the root cause, not just managing symptoms. My work is deeply influenced by mindfulness, Buddhism, and the belief that healing happens when we support the mind, body, and soul together. I want women to understand what’s happening in their bodies and know they are not “crazy” or imagining their symptoms.

Outside of my practice, I love traveling with my husband and learning about different healing traditions and cultures around the world. I’m also incredibly proud of my two children. My daughter, Michaela, who has a Bachelors in Biology and Nursing, she is also a registered nurse. My son, Luca, has a Bachelors in Marketing and an MBA in Data Analytics.

I created DeLucia Vitality with intention. This is a space for women who are ready to feel better, understand their bodies, and take their health seriously with someone who truly listens.

Welcome to DeLucia Vitality, where science meets the soul.
