Our Chief Medical Officer

Dr. Aunna Herbst is an experienced, board-certified, family medicine physician. As a physician with a focus in functional medicine, Dr. Aunna Herbst takes a holistic and integrated approach to patient care, treating the underlying causes of disease, rather than just the symptoms. She began her professional journey in 1999 when she graduated from the Trinity College of Natural Health. She furthered her knowledge and skill in 2007 by graduating from Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her certification with the Institute for Functional Medicine in 2013.

Recently, Dr. Herbst spent three years working to establish the highly acclaimed Center for Functional Medicine at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic — the first of its kind — serving as the Director of Clinical Operations and onsite Physician.

Determined to transform the way primary healthcare is delivered, Dr. Herbst co-founded SALT Health in Bentonville, Arkansas in September 2019. She leads the SALT Health team of providers to spend time listening to your medical history and diving into genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence long term health.”
