Trung Tran began Salus Health with a clear goal: to redefine how heart-related symptoms are understood and treated—moving beyond a fragmented, symptom-focused system toward one that treats the whole person. As the company’s co-founder, chief operating officer, and chief product officer, Trung leads efforts to bring together medical data, lifestyle insights, and emotional support into one cohesive model of care.
Trung leads the Calm Heart Program, designed for individuals experiencing persistent heart-related symptoms—such as palpitations, chest tightness, or dizziness—that are often dismissed as “just anxiety.” Many of these individuals cycle through emergency rooms, struggling with fear, frustration, and a lack of clear answers. The program provides a structured, evidence-based approach that integrates biomarker analysis, nervous system regulation, and personalized lifestyle coaching.
“We’re not just trying to catch problems earlier—we’re rethinking how care is delivered,” says Trung Tran. “Our goal is to reduce suffering by helping people feel heard, supported, and equipped to reclaim their health.”
Redefining Heart Health Through Holistic Care
Healthcare costs across the United States continue to rise as chronic conditions drive demand for reactive, late-stage interventions. Heart disease alone accounts for more than $219 billion in annual spending. Salus Health addresses this challenge not by delivering more complete care—combining physical, emotional, and lifestyle support from the moment symptoms begin. By treating the whole person, Salus helps patients break free from cycles of fear, confusion, and piecemeal treatment.
The Calm Heart program evaluates each patient’s health comprehensively, examining biomarkers and data related to stress, hormonal balance, inflammation, advanced cardiovascular and metabolic health, nutrition, and emotional well-being. While conventional healthcare often overlooks these critical connections, Salus Health makes understanding this complete picture a fundamental part of its care model from the outset.
“We go beyond simply addressing immediate symptoms. Our approach is to understand each patient’s unique health picture by integrating biomarker insights, lifestyle factors, and emotional context. This comprehensive view allows us to guide people toward lasting, meaningful improvements.”
Trung Tran and his team have served more than 300 individuals and plan to assist more than 1,000 people over the next year.
Building Personalized Patient Care
Every Calm Heart member begins with a complete intake process. The team sends at-home biomarker kits, connects wearable devices to the system, and gathers information about lifestyle routines and emotional journals. Based on the findings, the care team creates tailored plans involving nutrition guidance, supplements, breathwork, coaching, and weekly wellness sessions.
Trung Tran brings together a collaborative care team, including functional medicine experts, dietitians, movement specialists, and therapists. The program has also earned a 4.6 rating on Trustpilot, reflecting consistent patient satisfaction and trust.
“People stay with care plans that feel relevant and supportive,” Trung Tran notes. “We built the Calm Heart Program to fit the needs of each individual.”
Digital Tools That Support Providers
Trung Tran oversees Salus Health’s digital systems. He and his team designed a flexible platform that gives patients and providers real-time visibility into symptoms and behavior patterns. The platform includes tracking tools, personalized health insights, and immediate feedback loops for faster response.
Artificial intelligence supports the process by helping clinical staff recognize changes in engagement or symptom progression. The technology highlights moments for intervention without removing the provider’s human role.
“We equip providers to respond with care, insight, and clarity,” Trung Tran explains. “Our systems help them stay connected and responsive.”
Expanding Impact Through Strategic Partnerships
Trung Tran has led collaborations between Salus Health and established healthcare organizations. His team conducted an initial pilot with Tri-City Medical Center to explore integrating mental health and educational services into cardiac rehabilitation. The pilot aimed to assess patient response to a more comprehensive model of care.
These relationships show how the company’s methods integrate with existing health systems and produce tangible outcomes.
“We combine emotional and physical care to strengthen recovery,” Trung Tran says. “The results consistently improve when providers use both approaches.”
Establishing a New Standard for Comprehensive Heart Health
Trung Tran champions a model of care built upon a comprehensive understanding of each patient’s physiological, psychological, and emotional needs. Rather than simply addressing symptoms as they appear, Salus Health integrates advanced biomarker analysis, lifestyle-based strategies, emotional guidance, and personalized interventions into a cohesive care framework.
With heart attacks occurring every 40 seconds in the United States and impacting about 805,000 people each year, the need for truly holistic, well-rounded care becomes increasingly clear.
Salus Health is setting a new standard built on complete patient understanding and lasting, meaningful outcomes.
