Amanda Gougler, PA-C, is a physician assistant with more than 10 years of primary care experience and a passion for helping patients live healthier, stronger, and more energetic lives for as long as possible. Her clinical interests include metabolic health, weight management, insulin resistance and diabetes prevention, hormone health, preventive medicine, and women's health throughout the lifespan.

 

After years in primary care, Amanda found herself wishing for more time with her patients. Good medical care requires the time to listen, understand concerns, review labs and medications, answer questions, and consider how all the pieces fit together. It can be difficult to do that well within the limits of a traditional 15-minute appointment.

 

Amanda created Vestra Wellness to offer a different approach. By working outside of the traditional insurance-based model, she has more time and flexibility to provide comprehensive, personalized care and build lasting relationships with her patients. Rather than focusing on one symptom at a time or following a standard protocol, she looks at the whole picture and works with each patient to create a plan that fits their health, goals, and life.

 

Amanda is especially passionate about chronic disease prevention and helping patients understand the everyday factors that influence both how they feel now and their health for the future. She believes good healthcare should not only treat problems when they arise, but also help prevent them whenever possible.

 

Amanda earned her bachelor's degree in Public Health from Brigham Young University and her Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Midwestern University. She practiced family medicine and primary care at Midtown Community Health Center from 2015 to 2026.

 

Originally from Layton, Utah, Amanda is a mother of four young children. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, hiking, yoga, and watercolor painting.
