I'm Dr. Lorn Allison, a board-certified Doctor of Naprapathic Medicine licensed in Illinois. I've been in clinical practice for more than twenty years, and I founded Master The Body, a clinic and supplement dispensary in Joliet, Illinois, that now serves patients locally and across the country.
My dream from the age of nine was to build a human potential and physical performance institute. Master The Body is that idea, twenty-plus years in: mind, body and breath, connected, so that people can live closer to their full potential.
What is a naprapath?
A naprapath is a doctor trained in the connective tissue of the body: the fascia, ligaments and muscle that hold the frame together and carry the nerves and blood supply through it. Naprapathic medicine treats pain and dysfunction by working on that tissue directly, by hand, and by addressing what feeds it: nutrition, digestion, stress and the nervous system. It is a licensed doctoral profession in Illinois. The short version is that a naprapath looks at how the body is put together and what it is running on, and treats both.
What I do
-
Digestive health and gut repair. Protocols for bloating, reflux, microbiome imbalance, intestinal permeability, and the digestive side effects of GLP-1 medications.
-
Musculoskeletal medicine. Naprapathic assessment and treatment of connective tissue, joint and spinal conditions.
-
Nervous system regulation. Breathwork, meditation and clinical strategies for stress, sleep and autonomic balance.
-
Nutritional therapy. Professional-grade supplementation, functional nutrition and individualized protocols.
-
Integrative and functional approaches. Conventional clinical understanding combined with systems-based models for whole-person care.
How I work
I care about clarity, your autonomy, and practical results. I'm not interested in treating symptoms one at a time. I look for the cause, and then we build something you can actually keep doing: evidence-informed protocols, quality supplementation, and lifestyle changes you can run on your own without me standing over you.
Master The Body
Master The Body is family-owned. We offer a curated selection of professional-grade supplements that I select and recommend from clinical experience; structured programs, including the 3-Phase Digestive Health Protocol; virtual consultations and in-clinic care in Joliet; and free education through the Master The Body blog, podcast and video library.

What patients say
"For the past 17 years I have been suffering from some serious digestive problems that several doctors could not properly diagnose. They would only give me a prescription of antibiotics that only masked the problem. During my first visit, he discovered that my gut bacteria was out of balance. He came up with a protocol that changed my life, and I'm still following it as of today."
Leon S., Google review
"At my first appointment with you, I had thought that I could never be able to work again. My brain was not functioning properly with so much fog, and with so many debilitating migraines. I have kept up with your recommendations, and I have had no migraines for years now."
Leticia P., Google review
"He spends time with me as a patient, which is nonexistent now. That is how he can provide proper diagnoses and get to the crux of medical complexities. Dr. Allison looks to get to the source of the issue versus simply decreasing the symptoms with a mere bandaid. I have my life back because of him."
C.M.A., Google review
"I've struggled with sleep all my life. I am now sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night and it has completely changed my life. If you are on the fence about going to see him, do not hesitate. Don't walk. Run to go see him."
