We’re thrilled to introduce you to Donna Woods, CRNP, the newest provider on our Auburn team and a woman whose journey into functional medicine is as personal as it is professional.
With 28+ years of nursing experience and 4+ years as a Nurse Practitioner, Donna has cared for patients in labor & delivery, postpartum care, medical-surgical nursing, community health, urgent and primary care, men’s health, weight management, and rejuvenative health. But it was her own health struggles and years of “normal” labs that didn’t provide answers that pushed her to dig deeper. Around the same time, she watched her husband face the same frustrations with conventional care.
That’s when she found functional medicine’s root-cause approach, and it changed everything.
Now, Donna helps patients uncover what’s really driving their symptoms, restore energy and balance, and experience the clarity that comes with the Saluxis Method. From advanced hormone and peptide therapy to simple daily practices like grounding, she brings compassion, expertise, and hope to every step of the process.
Here’s how Donna describes it in her own words:
“My favorite part is the way the Saluxis Method gives structure to complexity. It allows us to take something overwhelming—like chronic fatigue or multi-system problems like high blood pressure, migraines, or PCOS—and break it down into an understandable, stepwise path. Watching patients feel empowered by that clarity is incredibly rewarding.”
We’re excited for Donna to join our team and for you to get to know her!
