Vital You Functional Medicine

Vital You Functional Medicine Vital You Functional Medicine is committed to preventing and reversing chronic disease by treating the root causes of illness.

Every day, we strive to both educate and heal our patients, empowering them to live better and healthier lives. I’m Melissa Trotman, a Nurse Practitioner and Institute of Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. I think the biggest problem with the healthcare system is the “pill for an ill” approach that never addresses the root cause of symptoms, therefore cannot begin to resolve chronic health issues. As a provider who uses an individualized root cause approach, I’m helping my patients to reverse chronic disease and optimize their health and longevity. I do this by taking time to listen to their stories and digging deep into their histories and their biochemistry to correct imbalances that cause bothersome symptoms and chronic disease.

For the woman doing “everything right” and still feeling stuck. Save this.

If your health results feel inconsistent,
it is not because you are inconsistent.

You didn’t suddenly lose discipline.
You didn’t forget how to take care of yourself.

You are simply following advice that was never designed for a female body.

Most health and fitness plans assume your body works the same way every day.

Push hard.
Stay consistent.
Do more if results slow down.

But your body doesn’t work that way.

The female body follows a monthly rhythm.
Hormones shift how you recover, build muscle, burn fat, and handle stress.

That means the same workout can feel powerful one week
and completely draining the next.

When you ignore those shifts and push anyway, your body does what it is designed to do.

It protects you.

Protection can look like:
Fatigue
Inflammation
Stubborn weight
Low mood
Loss of motivation

Not because you are failing.

Because your body is asking for a different approach.

This is where precision matters.
When movement and nutrition are matched to your cycle, clarity replaces confusion.

You stop guessing.
You stop forcing.
You start understanding.
You know when to build strength.
You know when to challenge yourself.
You know when to pull back.
You know that rest is part of progress, not a setback.

Cycle-synced training and seed cycling give your body what it needs, when it needs it.

Not more effort.
Better timing.

The outcome is more than physical results.

It is trust.

Trust that your body is not unpredictable.
Trust that your effort will pay off.
Trust that you are not broken.

Precision takes you off the emotional rollercoaster.
Precision replaces self-doubt with self-respect.
Precision turns frustration into forward movement.

Your body is not the problem.
Stop fighting it.
Start working with it.

This is the foundation of Precision Wellness.
