Holistic and Patient-Centered Care For Health-Minded Individuals

About Vital You

Vital You is a Functional Medicine practice that promotes patient-centered holistic care for patients who seek renewed energy, relief from chronic illness, and lasting vitality.

It’s time to live life to the fullest. It’s time to embark on a better path for holistic healthcare.

It’s time to rediscover the Vital You.

The Vital You Philosophy

We believe that healthcare is a lifelong partnership, not a prescription. We provide the tools, support, and resources necessary to empower patients to:

Optimize their health

Prevent chronic illness

Rediscover Vitality

Live Well

Through individualized care, we will target the root causes of presenting symptoms and illnesses to facilitate true healing. We see patients as people, not cases, and help them design a treatment plan that aligns with their goals and their lifestyle.
It’s our mission to help as many patients as possible discover the freedom and longevity that evidence-based Functional Medicine offers. We’re committed to supporting them as they better understand their bodies and implement healthy, effective treatments to build a long and healthy life.

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.”

“When I’m not facilitating health and healing, I like to spend my free time doing something outdoors with my family, riding my Peloton, practicing Yoga, or out on the water on my paddle board.”
