MEET ALEXI

Alexi Vaughn is a Grand Junction native who has dedicated over 20 years to nursing — and she's just getting started.

Since earning her BSN in 2004, Alexi has built a remarkably diverse clinical foundation, working across some of medicine's most demanding environments: the Emergency Department, CVICU, Cardiology, Telemetry, Wound Care, and Trauma. That breadth of experience gave her something most providers spend a career chasing — a deep, whole-body understanding of how people heal.

In 2018, she became a Family Nurse Practitioner, joining the Orthopedic Trauma team at St. Mary's Hospital, where she has spent the last several years caring for some of the region's most complex patients.

But it was her own personal journey that opened the next chapter. Nearly a decade ago, Alexi started searching for answers to questions she was hearing from patients — and asking herself. That search led her to hormone replacement and optimization, and she hasn't looked back. Since 2022, she has been working with both men and women using bioidentical hormones to help them look, feel, and perform at their best.

The benefits of bioidentical hormone optimization go far beyond managing symptoms. When clinically appropriate and monitored through individualized care, hormone optimization may support:

• Energy

• Body composition

• Libido

• Bone health

• Mood

• Overall quality of life

For Alexi, this work is deeply personal. She believes that hormone optimization isn't just about feeling better today — it's about preventing chronic disease, protecting long-term health, and making every single day count.

Her goal is simple: she wants her clients to truly feel good, from the inside out.

When she's not in the clinic, you'll find Alexi enjoying life in the valley she's always called home, alongside her three grown kids and two dogs.
