A Nurse Practitioner that Truly Hears You
Consult
Welcome to Amelioration Health!
Amelioration is the act of making something (or someone) better. It is improving ailments to achieve the best outcome. At Amelioration Health, I work diligently with my clients to improve health and quality of life, by utilizing root cause health analysis.
Root cause analysis means to find the root of disease or ailment and heal from the ground up.
As a board certified nurse practitioner since 2019, I have treated patients on every angle of the health pendulum. After treating home-bound patients that suffered from debilitating chronic disease, I was disheartened in the traditional approach to medicine as generally reactive.
Ashley Melchiorre, FNP-BC
When I was introduced to root cause medicine, I fell in love with the proactive approach to health. I am able to help my patients reduce or reverse disease burden with finding out the WHY.
I prescribe nutritional changes, supplements, movement, and pharmaceuticals to my clients that are targeted and individualized.
I use comprehensive laboratory analysis in the root cause approach. I look at:
- Gut health
- Sexual Hormones
- Adrenal function
- Thyroid function
- Toxic Burden
- Food Sensitivities/Allergies
- DNA SNPs
- Plus much more
I meet with my clients on a regular basis for healthy visits, and do not wait for poor health to intervene.
My clients are active participants in their health, and committed to a more natural lifestyle.
I discuss daily life with my clients and integrate that with an in depth review of systems. Together we create a health road map that will be your guide to living a long, healthy life!
My clients
Root Cause Health
A large focus of my panel of clients are those that feel as though something in their body is not right. Often times they have been told by their doctor that “everything checks out ok” and left frustrated with no answers, and no actionable plan.
I spend the time with my clients to hear their concerns. I typically recommend books to help educate my clients, specialized testing, and targeted treatment plans. I do not give up on my patients!
General Health and Medical Care
As a telehealth provider, I do not recommend that I replace your primary care provider. Seeing a provider in person is invaluable to your health.
I work with clients who are seeking more from their healthcare experience. I am able to offer more engagement, education, empowerment, and accountability with increased visit length and frequency. When we have our 30 minute or 1 hour visit, you have my undivided attention.
A note from home..
Even though Ashley is my wife and I can only say good things about her, the impact she has had on my health and life has forever changed me for the better. Since I was 18, I’ve had a rash on the back of my scalp and eczema inside my ear canals. Doctors always told me to just to put a cream on it and “deal” with it. Along with the skin issues, I struggled with significant weight gain after college. At 250 pounds we decided it was time for a health change. We went gluten and dairy free and the weight began to shed off drastically, and I settled at 190 pounds. The diet change had me eating a lot different, and a rash appeared around my eyes. Ashley ordered a food sensitivity test and turns out I am highly allergic to eggs, along with gluten. I was raised Italian and pasta was a staple growing up and I assumed stomach issues were completely normal. We eliminated eggs, and not only did the rash around my eyes clear up, but my scalp and ears also cleared up. Something I just dealt with for over 15 years was just gone.
No doctor ever cared enough to look at the reason why I was having these reactions. I feel so much better! My stomach doesn’t bother me, my bathroom habits are regular, my sleep is better and I’m not embarrassed from the eczema. They say your spouse should bring out the best in you but Ashley truly improved my life for the better.

My visits are not billed to insurance and are cash pay only. You may submit your bill to your insurance for reimbursement (reimbursement not guaranteed), and you may use an HSA account to pay for your visit.
Unfortunately, working with insurance restricts my time with my clients and forces a “quantity” approach to reimbursement versus a “quality” approach.
To provide the best quality of care, I have decided to separate myself from accepting insurance.
Thinking about supplements?
Access my FullScript Dispensary for quality branded supplements and vitamins that I use and trust.
