Jennie Knopf

Lead Coordinator

Jennie has spent most of her life in the Cincinnati, OH area. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Northern Kentucky University with her Bachelors of Science in Finance. She helped her husband build and run their own business for the last 5 years and previously worked with Fifth Third Bank before wanting to find something of her own again.

Jennie’s love for fitness and lifting began in high school when she did track and field. After high school she became a personal trainer at a local gym and loved helping people achieve their own personal goals. When she finished her first competition she began dealing with health issues and autoimmune diseases. This began her almost 10 year journey into functional medicine and finding the root cause of issues. Jennie was actually a patient of AVH before joining the team as a Patient Care Coordinator.

When not helping patients at AVH Jennie is a wife and mother to 3 boys. She homeschools all her children and they play multiple sports, so her life is always on the go. When not at some field they enjoy hiking with their German Shepherd, spending time with family and going to church.

Jennie is thankful to be working with a company who puts patients first, but also values their employees and appreciates all the different ideas everyone has to offer. It is truly a blessing to be a patient and an employee.

Troy Scott

Co-Founder

Prior to founding Advanced Vitality HRT Troy spent over 15 years working in the Multifamily industry; beginning his career with a predictive modeling start-up developing scoring models that enabled apartment operators to make more accurate leasing decisions. In 2007, Troy co-founded one of the largest and most successful Renters Insurance companies in the industry. It was Nationally recognized as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the country. Troy oversaw all aspects of operations from 2007 to 2020 through aggressive periods of growth into a National footprint, multiple recapitalizations, and several strategic acquisitions.

Since 2015, Troy has successfully completed multiple investments in tech start-ups operating within the multifamily housing space, purchased or invested in over 600k square feet of commercial office/industrial space, and has passively invested in over 2,500 apartment units across the Southeast and Texas markets before taking a more active role in acquiring and repositioning multifamily properties with his company SW Capital.

Troy has also been entrenched in the fitness and nutrition community over the last 20 years. Previously owning a large fitness center for 10 years, being a competitive bodybuilder, as well as coaching fitness, figure, and bodybuilding competitors Troy has acquired a wealth of knowledge in the space. Troy began researching hormones and HRT as his own journey to find a knowledgeable practitioner proved difficult. After years of being left unsatisfied with the options available for his own treatment Troy is beyond excited to partner with Jason and Dr. Mendelsohn at Advanced Vitality HRT to bring the best care and advice to clients across the country.

Brooke Berg

Lead Coordinator

Background:
I began my career as a respiratory therapist, working for 5 years in ICU, NICU, and Emergency Care. In 2023, I joined Advanced Vitality as Patient Coordinator, where I’ve been able to combine my clinical background with my passion for health and wellness to support patients nationwide.

Favorite part of the job:
Hearing the success stories from patients and seeing how much their quality of life has improved. Being part of their journey toward better health is both inspiring and rewarding.

Outside the office:
I enjoy an active lifestyle with my husband and our young son. From summers on the water wake surfing, to exploring Northern Wisconsin, to family powersports adventures, I love making memories with my boys while staying active and embracing new experiences together.

Monica Skonieczny

APRN, Nurse Practitioner

Education and Background:
Endocrinology specialty certificate from Duke University
MSN Family Nurse Practitioner from University of Alabama at Birmingham
BSN University of Miami
BA Anthropology Northern Illinois University

Why you chose functional medicine:
I chose to work in functional medicine because it allows me to identify and address the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms. This approach lets me combine evidence-based medicine with personalized care to help patients achieve lasting health and vitality.

Favorite part of the job:
My favorite part of working at AV is empowering my patients to improve their lives and helping them to reach their goals.

Personal wellness routine:
My personal wellness routine depends on what my current goals are at the time- right now while pregnant I focus on keeping my lifestyle as intentionally focused on health as possible with weight training, daily steps, and a Lily Nichols’ inspired diet. When not pregnant, I add in testosterone replacement and peptides to support my goals of improving body composition and focusing on longevity/anti-aging!

Philosophy in one line:
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” – Michael Jordan

Outside the office, enjoys:
Outside of the office, you can find me working out at the gym, baking sourdough, or spending time with my husband and daughter.

Memorable patient wins:
Some of my most memorable patient wins include supporting women on their journey to conceive and helping women regain healthy menstrual cycles after years of imbalance. I’ve also had the privilege of helping postmenopausal women feel like themselves again through thoughtful hormone optimization, and guiding patients toward sustainable weight loss and lasting lifestyle changes. One particularly rewarding case involved identifying a pituitary adenoma that had gone undiagnosed by endocrinology for years—finally giving her answers after a long journey of feeling unheard.
