About Intrinsic Wellness Clinic

Hi, I’m Dr. Todd Di Leo.

Founder | Functional Medicine Practitioner | Root-Cause Investigator | Adjunct Professor | Athlete

My journey into health and healing started long before I ever wore a white coat.

I grew up watching my father battle Crohn’s disease for over 50 years. His pain, frustration, and resilience shaped my understanding of what it means to live with chronic illness — and why truly getting better requires more than just managing symptoms. Witnessing his slow decline through medications that never addressed the root cause was heartbreaking. It sparked a search for something better — and eventually led me to root-cause medicine.

That search wasn’t just academic. By my father’s late 50s, I was already applying what I’d learned about food sensitivities, gut health, and systemic healing to his life. At one GI visit, at the age of 79, the specialist looked at his chart and said, “We don’t usually see Crohn’s patients with your complications live this long.” My father smiled and said, “That’s because my son helped me figure out what was causing it, and he has helped me manage it.” That moment validated everything I believed: the body can heal — if we listen to it and support it at the root.

Originally on track to become a cardiologist or orthopedic surgeon, I took a different path. I became a Chiropractic Physician in 1992 and have spent the last 30+ years helping people in the Tampa area overcome pain and reclaim vitality. But it wasn’t a sudden shift — embracing Functional Medicine was the natural next step. My post-graduate training with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and the Kharrazian Institute didn’t just deepen my tools — it confirmed that systems-based, personalized care is the future of true healing.

Today, I run Intrinsic Wellness Clinic, where we don’t rush patients in and out. We take the time to listen, investigate, and partner with you on your health transformation. Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, gut issues, brain fog, autoimmunity, or just feel like your health is out of sync — I want you to know: you’re not broken. There’s a reason you feel this way. And there’s a way forward.

My approach is rooted in science and personalized for you, designed to help you heal naturally, without relying on prescriptions or quick fixes.

As an athlete, I’ve always been fascinated by the body’s potential. I’ve completed Ironman triathlons, run marathons in New York, Chicago, and Tampa, and played competitive hockey in Canada. But over time, I learned that performance and wellness aren’t built in gyms alone — they’re built in how we eat, sleep, move, think, and live.

Outside the clinic, I’m a husband, father, and lifelong student of both science and spirit. I love spending time outdoors with my wife, Cathy, our daughters, and our friends — whether we’re traveling, snorkeling, cycling, or just soaking up the Florida sun.

If you’re ready to feel heard, understood, and supported — I’d be honored to walk this journey with you.
