Physician-led.

Dr. Ankit Chander, MD

Medical Director

Dr. Chander was training at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, preparing for a career in molecular imaging, when his father died suddenly of a heart attack. At the time, he was practicing within the Johns Hopkins Executive Physical program — and one question began to shape everything that followed: if he was training at one of the finest institutions in the world, why wasn't he able to prevent his own father's heart attack?

That question led him to integrative medicine. When his grandmother's life was later taken by Alzheimer's, and as he confronted his own chronic pain, his conviction deepened: the future of medicine lies not in treating disease after it appears, but in extending the years we live with vitality, clarity, and strength. Today he leads a practice devoted to healthspan, longevity, cognitive optimization, and regenerative therapy — applying rigorous, individualized, science- and evidence-based protocols to each patient he serves. His work has been published in peer-reviewed basic and clinical research, and he is board-certified.

Amy-Marie Jameson

Practice Administrator & Chief Medical Assistant

With over 22 years of nursing experience spanning respiratory medicine, concierge medicine, rehabilitative care, unit management and Director of Nursing roles, Amy-Marie brings a rare, comprehensive understanding of patient care to her leadership at the Institute. Originally from Portland, Maine, she relocated to Naples five years ago, drawn by a community embracing mindfulness and holistic, whole-person medicine — a philosophy that has shaped her career from the start.

Her mission is simple: every patient should feel heard, cared for, and confident they are receiving the best quality care possible. She believes true healing happens when spiritual wellness and whole-body medicine are honored together. Grounded by her fiancé and their blended family of four boys, she brings that same warmth, patience and belief in each person's worth to every aspect of how care is delivered here.
