What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a modern, whole-person approach to healthcare that prioritizes understanding the “why” behind illness. It goes beyond diagnosis to explore how your genetics, lifestyle, environment, and medical history interact to impact your health.
At Aligned Modern Health, we focus on precision diagnostics, in-depth consultations, and personalized treatment plans. Our goal is not just to manage disease — but to help you thrive.
This approach is ideal for those dealing with:
What We Treat Through Functional Medicine
Our Functional Medicine providers support a broad range of concerns that often overlap or go unresolved in conventional care. We see patients who have tried everything — and are still looking for answers.
Areas we address include:
-
Digestive & Gut Health
-
Hormonal & Metabolic Conditions
→ Menopause, Perimenopause, Low Testosterone
→ Metabolic slowdown, weight changes, insulin resistance
-
Reproductive Health
→ Fertility, postpartum, irregular cycles
-
Immune System & Autoimmunity
-
Chronic Pain, Recovery, and Inflammation
-
Family & Life Stage Wellness
→ Support for teens, adults, and aging populations
-
Lifestyle & Preventive Wellness
→ Sleep, stress, energy, and burnout
-
Unexplained Symptoms & “Invisible” Illnesses
→ Cases dismissed or misdiagnosed elsewhere
We offer care that considers the whole person — and never stops at “normal” lab results.
When You’ve Been Misdiagnosed or Dismissed
Colorado Springs is home to thousands of active-duty troops, veterans, and civilians who lead demanding lives — yet many are living with unresolved health issues. Nationally, millions of people are misdiagnosed or told their labs are “fine” even when they don’t feel well.
Functional Medicine fills in the gaps by:
-
Taking time: extended appointments and deep listening
-
Using advanced lab panels: gut, hormone, nutrient, and inflammation markers
-
Connecting the dots: finding patterns in your story and biology
-
Customizing care: no one-size-fits-all protocols
If you’ve seen multiple doctors but still feel stuck, Functional Medicine can be a turning point.
Why Colorado Springs Residents Are Turning to Functional Medicine
Colorado Springs has a unique blend of high-stress careers, physically demanding work, and outdoor adventure. From military service to aerospace engineering to tourism, many locals face health challenges tied to performance, endurance, or recovery.
What draws people to this approach:
-
Solutions for chronic fatigue and inflammation
-
Support for hormonal transitions and stress regulation
-
Emphasis on prevention and long-term resilience
-
Frustration with short visits or unexplained symptoms
With over 45,000 active-duty troops and 100,000+ veterans in the area, many residents are seeking care that respects their service history while offering a non-rushed, whole-body perspective.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
From the start, Functional Medicine feels different. Your first visit is not a quick intake — it’s a comprehensive review of your entire health history, lifestyle, and goals.
What you’ll experience:
-
60–90 minutes of one-on-one time with a Functional Medicine provider
-
Lab testing based on your individual needs (stool, hormone, nutrient, inflammation)
-
A care plan that includes clinical nutrition, supplement strategy, and stress management
-
Ongoing support with check-ins and plan adjustments
We’re not just treating symptoms — we’re building long-term strategies for vitality.
