Boulder is home to a growing movement in Functional Medicine — a personalized, root-cause approach to health that prioritizes lasting wellness over short-term symptom relief. In a city known for its environmental leadership, high quality of life, and active population, more residents are seeking care that goes beyond symptom suppression and embraces whole-body healing.
Functional Medicine is a science-based, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness. Instead of viewing symptoms in isolation, practitioners consider the complex interplay of genetics, lifestyle, environment, and physiology. This is particularly effective for those experiencing chronic, unresolved, or unexplained symptoms.
At Aligned Modern Health, our Functional Medicine doctors take time to understand your full health story, offering personalized plans based on advanced diagnostics and deep collaboration.
Functional Medicine goes far beyond general wellness. It provides specialized care for complex conditions, often missed or dismissed in conventional settings.
We address:
Gut Health & Food Intolerance
Hormone & Metabolic Health
→ Perimenopause, Menopause, Andropause
→ Hormonal Weight Gain, Metabolic Dysfunction
Reproductive Health
→ Fertility, Pregnancy, Postpartum
Immune & Autoimmune Conditions
Pain, Movement & Recovery

Chronic & Unresolved Symptoms

Many of our patients come to us after years of searching for answers — often having seen multiple specialists with no clear resolution.
Millions of Americans are misdiagnosed each year, especially those with overlapping or complex conditions. At Aligned Modern Health, we often treat patients who have been told “everything looks normal” — yet still feel unwell.
Functional Medicine changes that experience:
Longer intake appointments
Full lifestyle and medical history review
Customized lab testing beyond standard blood work
A treatment plan built around your unique biology
We help uncover the missing pieces and give you a clear path forward.
Boulder’s identity is deeply rooted in health and sustainability. Ranked as one of the healthiest cities in the U.S. and home to the University of Colorado, Boulder boasts a highly educated, wellness-oriented population. Locals value prevention, clean living, and community-driven solutions — all of which align with Functional Medicine.
The city’s largest employer, The University of Colorado Boulder, offers its employees several health insurance plans administered by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and Kaiser Permanente — including the CU Health Plan – Exclusive, Extended, High Deductible/HSA Compatible, and Kaiser options. Aligned Modern Health accepts most Anthem and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans for Functional Medicine, making our care model both accessible and aligned with CU Boulder employee benefits.
Top reasons Boulder residents turn to this approach:
A desire for personalized, whole-body care
Focus on hormonal health, gut health, and mental clarity

Interest in prevention, performance, and long-term wellness
