About Melissa Trotman, CRNP
Melissa has spent 15+ years of her career as a Nurse Practitioner at Johns Hopkins Hospital and currently provides care for cardiology patients at Sinai Hospital. Naturally, she turned to the best conventional medicine resources when she was faced with her own healthcare challenges.
However, as is common with the conventional medicine approach to chronic illness, the root causes of her symptoms weren’t addressed. She was presented with “solutions” that felt like band-aids based solely on pharmaceuticals rather than her body’s needs and ability to heal.
She knew there had to be a better, more effective way to offer patient care.

“Hello, I’m Melissa.
After my own discouraging healthcare experience, I set out in search of a better solution for holistic patient care.
Through Functional Medicine, I was able to take control of my life and rediscover vital health. Everything I learned allowed me to thrive through breast cancer treatment and fueled my interest in offering this kind of care to my patients.
I discovered a comprehensive and holistic approach to breast cancer and survivorship. One of the many things conventional medicine lacks is a recognition of the connection between nutrition, relationships, environment, lifestyle, and their impact on one’s health.


With focused patient education, strategic lifestyle changes, nutritional awareness, and medications when needed, we can promote healing and prevention and facilitate long-term health.
And that’s exactly what I do at Vital You.
Symptoms are invaluable signals that communicate something deeper is happening. There is more that lies beneath. Only treating symptoms never leads to closure.
When you address the cause of illness, you can achieve true healing. I experienced this in my own life, and I’d like to help you do the same.”
