Anya's Health Journey and Discovery of Alternative Approaches...
I felt my health slowly deteriorate from when I was a teenager into my 30s. My immune system was angry, my body was inflamed, and I was told by many doctors that I was “fine.” But I knew I wasn’t. It wasn’t until I was a mother and my health issues started to interfere with my energy levels and being able to parent with the vitality I used to have, that I was motivated to find answers. But these answers were something I never expected to take years of time and more energy and expense than I could have ever expected. Why was it so hard to find someone who could help me? All I wanted was to know why I felt the way I did and to tell me what to do to fix it.
Over this time, I had my eyes opened to the value of functional medicine. Functional medicine seeks out the true root cause of ailments; the Why, versus just treating the symptoms. Why are you having a headache? Why are you not ovulating? Why can you not lose weight? Finding these answers should not be as hard as it was for me.
The struggle during those years of needing and wanting help and just wanting to feel better again has made me who I am today as a practitioner. I have the gift of determination and persistence compelling me to not give up until I find answers. I have the fortune of decades of education and experience in allopathic, or Western, medicine. I appreciate and value what this type of medicine offers, yet I am also intimately aware of the ways this type of medicine is lacking.
What makes me unique as a provider is my acknowledging the value of both traditional and functional medicine. I offer a unique mindset of someone who understands and respects the worth of both and realizes they each have a time and a place where they shine individually and can also work in unison in a very harmonious and beneficial way as well.
Trevor Buckett, FNP-C
Owner/Family Nurse Practitioner
Trevor began his journey in medicine during his 11 years of U.S. Naval service as an Underwater Construction and Explosives technician. His exposure to hyperbaric medicine during this adventurous career ignited an interest and passion for furthering his education in health practices. Following his honorable discharge, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Nursing with Honors from National University in San Diego, California. He spent his bedside nursing career working in the Intensive Care Unit, Critical Coronary Unit, and Emergency Department. After working in such environments, he realized quickly that upstream medicine is severely lacking in this country and patients deserve care that prevents hospitalization and disease. Trevor then decided to continue his education and gained his Master of Science in Nursing with Distinction from United States University with a focus on family practice. He additionally specializes in men’s health and has undergone extensive instruction by some of the nation’s leading experts and Harvard Medical School in testosterone replacement therapy and erectile dysfunction.
Jordan Salvador, FNP-BC
Family Nurse Practitioner
​
When faced with her first child’s health problems, Jordan was disappointed to find how very little Western medicine had to offer in the way of real resolution. So, like many mothers before her, she met this challenge with the unyielding determination to fix it, and in the process uncovered an entirely new way of living and relating to the miracle that is the human body.
Jordan’s journey to functional wellness started in the unlikeliest of places: the operating room. A surgical technologist and later registered nurse, she saw what the “end game” of medicine looked like… and she was thoroughly unimpressed. Surely, there had to be another path people could take to avoid extreme interventions and live more in line with how their bodies were designed? The entire “health” care industry seemed hard pressed to profit off of illness and keep people sick. She felt called to find a way to meet people at the other end of the spectrum, and become part of the solution by learning how to support the body to do what it does better than any pill or procedure: heal itself.
Her personal practice philosophy is to joyfully meet each patient exactly where they are with an open mind and an open heart. She is a firm believer that, as in the rest of life, nothing in health care should be one-size-fits-all. She takes an integrative approach to holistic wellness, having medications play a ‘complimentary’ role, instead of the other way around, all while keeping her patient’s personal values, goals, and body sovereignty as the guiding light for all treatment decisions, which are always made together.
Jordan is double board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner by both the American Nurses Credentialing Center and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with her Master of Science in Nursing from Simmons University in Boston, and her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Texas Tech University.
