Founder of Salud | Nurse Practitioner | Holistic Provider

Hello and welcome!

My name is Melanie Yunger, and I have been a Nurse Practitioner since 2005, and a Registered Nurse since 1993. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to a mission of providing practical, evidence-based, holistic advice to help individuals achieve balance, vitality, and optimal health. At Salud, I proudly serve as a trusted holistic provider, empowering patients to take control of their health by focusing on their unique needs and trusting the body as a whole.

I have an extensive and successful career in modern medicine with my learning focusing on holistic medicine. I am always seeking out more learning opportunities to further my knowledge around holistic care. I believe that true healing involves addressing the root causes of health concerns, not just treating the symptoms. This philosophy has led me to pursue certifications in Lifestyle Medicine and Digestive Health, along with years of continued education to deepen my understanding of integrative care. Additionally, I had the privilege of teaching Human Nutrition at Mid-America Nazarene University for six years, further cementing my commitment to educating others on the importance of nutrition and wellness.

My Holistic Approach to Health

At Salud, I take a highly personalized approach to patient care as a dedicated holistic provider. I understand that no two individuals are the same, and their health journeys are just as unique. Whether it’s through nutritional counseling, lifestyle modifications, supplement recommendations, or Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), my approach is centered on creating sustainable and long-term results.

I firmly believe that our environment, lifestyle choices, and emotional well-being significantly impact our health and longevity. The food we eat, the air we breathe, the products we use, and even the stress we carry all play a role in disrupting our balance. By addressing these factors, I guide my patients through a process of holistic healing that restores harmony in the mind, body, and spirit

Melanie’s personal experience with bioidentical hormones:

Like most women going through the great change of life it can be, well, not so great! I experienced all the symptoms that go along with menopause. When I reached out to conventional medicine, the solutions were grim. The options discussed, including sleep aids, antidepressants and even anticonvulsant medications did not seem like a logical or healthy choice. I did not have a medication deficiency, I had a hormone deficiency; so, to me it made sense to treat the root issue.

After a year of evaluating my options, I finally leaned into Bio-Identical Hormones and made the necessary lifestyle changes. Wow, did my life change! My hot flashes disappeared, I slept through the night, I lost the few extra pounds, and my general joint aches disappeared. It was then that I decided to add bio-identical hormone therapy to my practice.
