Dr. Miller decided to become a doctor at the age of 8 and after graduating from New Have High School her junior year (and being a self-proclaimed studious “nerd”), she attended Purdue University, graduating with her B.S. degree in Health Sciences.
She then attended I.U. Medical School and completed her Family Practice Residency at Methodist Hospital, in Indianapolis in 1989. Since that time, Dr. Miller has been in private Family Practice and is an active board-certified member of the Academy of Family Physicians.

Amy Nicely, NP
Amy began her work in healthcare in 2003 as a Nurse at Methodist Hospital after completing her Bachelors of Science in Nursing at Anderson University. She completed her Masters of Science in Nursing from the University of Indianapolis in 2006 and has been practicing as a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner since that time. For her first 8 years of practice as an NP, she practiced Internal medicine at a large hospital yet always felt a longing to practice a more preventative approach.
Amy’s own health needs and those of my family led me to Excell For Life as a patient and wanted to help patients the same way Functional Medicine helped her. She soon joined the Excell For Life team of Providers in September of 2014 and completed her Institute for Functional Medicine certification training in 2017.
Nathan Bleeke, DO
Nathan received his education at Purdue University in West Lafayette and graduated in 2013 with two Bachelor’s Degrees in Chemistry and Environmental Geoscience. Medicine has always been of interest and he was soon accepted to Marian University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine after his undergraduate at Purdue.
Since graduating from Medical School in the summer of 2018, Nathan’s osteopathic training has had a large influence on how he practices as a physician. The osteopathic model is based on incorporating a mind, body and spirit approach as well as considering the body’s natural ability to heal itself. His personal interests in medicine include diabetes management, cardiology, women’s health, pediatrics, and osteopathic manipulation.
