April Vukelic, D.O., FMCP-M

Dr. April Vukelic is a quadruple board-certified physician and certified Wahls Protocol practitioner. She specializes in complex chronic illness — including Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), mold illness, autoimmune disease, and cognitive decline — for patients who have often spent years searching for answers.

Dr. Vukelic is a certified practitioner of the Institute for Functional Medicine (FMCP-M), and her practice is built on the systems-biology framework that functional medicine provides. She uses advanced laboratory testing, detailed environmental and exposure history, and root-cause analysis to understand why the immune system, gut, or nervous system have stopped regulating — and how to restore balance. She integrates the Wahls Protocol, Shoemaker Protocol for CIRS, Bredesen ReCODE 2.0 for cognitive decline, and osteopathic manual medicine into a functional medicine foundation.

Dr. Vukelic has lectured on osteopathy, CIRS, the Bredesen Protocol, and building endurance and capacity for the Terry Wahls MD Group. She is also one of only two physicians in the world certified by Dr. Stuart McGill in spine biomechanics, and trained directly with Drs. James Jealous and Ed Stiles in osteopathic and cranial manual medicine.

Dr. Vukelic practices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and offers telehealth consultations throughout Pennsylvania.
