Jordan Buchla, DNP, FNP-C
Jordan Buchla is a Doctor of Nursing Practice and board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. Before becoming a nurse practitioner, Jordan spent five years as a registered nurse in a high-acuity trauma emergency department throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. During that same period, she pursued her doctoral education all while competing at an elite level in powerlifting—an experience that shaped her disciplined, evidence-driven approach to health and performance.
Her multidisciplinary background also includes a bachelor’s degree in Business Management, along with experience in personal training and physical rehabilitation. Clinically, her areas of focus include performance and recovery, hormone optimization, metabolic and weight management, and peptide-based therapies.
Outside of medicine, Jordan has achieved international recognition as an elite powerlifter. She has set two world records in her weight class, including an 855-pound squat and 545-pound bench press, has been ranked #2 in the world all-time regardless of weight class, and has been inducted into the Connecticut Powerlifting Hall of Fame. Her accomplishments have been featured by NBC Connecticut, the Connecticut Post, WICC Radio, and multiple national podcasts and media platforms.
Jordan is also the owner of Hellbent Barbell, a powerlifting gym, further reflecting her longstanding commitment to fitness, performance, and the strength community.
As Co-Founder of VYTL, Jordan brings together her clinical training and firsthand understanding of elite performance to create a different kind of healthcare experience—one that looks beyond isolated symptoms and instead considers the patient's hormonal, metabolic, nutritional, lifestyle, recovery, and performance goals as a whole.
