D.O., AOBFP · Functional and Regenerative Medicine Consultant
Dr. Marcelo is committed to helping patients achieve optimal healing across the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Her patient-centered, not disease-centered, approach recognizes the following:
The widespread adoption of a healthcare model that prevents illness, reverses the global pandemic of chronic disease, and optimizes longevity.
Health begins with a journey that reveals the Divine within. Tapping into this energy is how ordinary people do the uncommon and experience true healing. Illness and disease thrive in a body programmed with pro-inflammatory vocabulary from past or current experiences. My mission is to offer people an opportunity to learn vital health information that generates anti-inflammatory vocabulary and transforms how they think and feel. A magical new consciousness emerges when someone understands that they can change their health by changing themselves.
To equip people with the courage and tools to take charge of their health so they can be happy and healthy.
Health for everyone to fulfill their life's purpose.
Dr. Claudia Marcelo, D.O. founded Panacea Biomedical Institute as a new way of practicing medicine, a practice to treat the ailments she struggled with when conventional medicine failed her. A decade ago, Claudia experienced a debilitating chronic illness and was frustrated at the lack of solutions until functional medicine provided the missing link.

Claudia Marcelo, DO is board-certified in Family Medicine and Geriatric Medicine. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago and later graduated from NYIT's New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. She then finished a Family Practice Residency and Geriatric Fellowship at Florida Hospital (now AdventHealth) in Orlando. Personal health challenges while completing medical school motivated her to seek an alternative model of health. She chose the path of functional medicine as a patient before becoming a functional and regenerative physician years later.
Dr. Claudia received functional medicine training through the Institute for Functional Medicine, the American Academy of Anti-Aging, and the Kalish Institute. She received stem cell training from the Institute of Regenerative Medicine in Spain (Medicina Regenerativa Madrid) and has been certified by Train Now MD in regenerative and cosmetic medicine. She has traveled for private mentorships worldwide to gain training in a range of modalities: neural therapy, peptides, bio-identical hormones, ozone, PRP, photomodulation, PEMF, hyperbaric oxygen, nutrition, IV therapies, and quantum healing. Her current foundational approach is based on European Biological Medicine, which allows a deeper understanding of the levels of imbalance that can predispose a patient to illness.
Dr. Claudia believes and teaches her patients that connection with nature, self, nutritious foods, healing herbs, a supportive lifestyle, positive thinking, and love are the greatest remedies for the body, mind, and soul.
My mission is to provide a roadmap for people to navigate their health challenges in a new context: one that allows them to understand the root cause and empowers them to address the physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual aspects of the disease.
When not seeing patients, Dr. Claudia spends time with her family, reading, studying, meditating, and exercising. Her passion is traveling and seeing the beauty of our planet in its many facets.
Panacea Biomedical Institute was founded by Dr. Claudia Marcelo to serve those failed by traditional, outdated practices, tailoring every treatment to each unique patient.
