Denver’s Diet Doctor Introduces our new Functional Medicine Program
Categories: Functional Medicine, Services
We are happy to introduce our in-office functional medicine program to better serve those seeking optimal wellness! At the heart of functional medicine we dig for the root cause of your health issues, rather than simply treating a symptom. Our program offers a more in-depth look at your health history, nutritional status and current concerns by offering you more time, more attention, and more access to your provider on a regular basis.
We understand that there are limitations within conventional medicine and our providers go beyond the standard of care by staying up to date with current research and thinking outside of the conventional box. Although the views of conventional and functional medicine don’t always align, we challenge ourselves to balance the two worlds for optimal care of our patients and feel it’s so important to always be searching for the “why” regarding development of illness.
Here are just some of the topics we can discuss during your functional medicine evaluation:
- Cardiovascular Health/Heart Calcium Score
- Cholesterol
- Metabolic Health
- Overweight/Obesity
- Diabetes/Pre-Diabetes
- Oxidative Stress
- Gastrointestinal Health (dysbiosis/SIBO, gut permeability, digestive insufficiency)
- Fatigue/Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis imbalance
- Hormone Health and balancing
- General Diet/Nutrition counseling
- Supplement review
- General preventive medicine/Support vitality

Introductory Consult

The introductory consult will be over the phone or online but does not establish a provider-patient relationship.
