How Functional Medicine Works

Functional medicine is a new approach to health care. Functional medicine is a superior way to help tackle chronic health conditions. Unlike disease-focused medical care, functional medicine is geared toward helping individuals achieve their optimal health. We specialize in getting to the source of symptoms like chronic fatigue, weak immune system, bloating, and hormonal imbalances. Many of these symptoms are very common, but that doesn’t make them normal. We do this by analyzing blood work on a different scale from what the majority of medical doctors use.

Why Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine emphasizes understanding the unique interactions between your body, environment, and lifestyle. By recognizing these factors, we create a customized health plan designed just for you. Our approach includes:

  • In-Depth Assessments: Identifying the root causes of health concerns.
  • Holistic Healing: Treating the body as a whole, interconnected system.
  • Personalized Care: Tailoring treatments to your individual needs.

Gut Health: The Foundation of Wellness

The gut is the foundation of your overall health, playing a vital role in regulating your immune system, absorbing essential nutrients, and eliminating waste. Its profound connection to nearly every system in the body makes gut health a cornerstone of wellness. 

At Altfammed, we understand that a healthy gut is key to improving digestion, strengthening immunity, and enhancing mental well-being. That’s why we place gut health at the center of our personalized treatment plans, helping you achieve optimal health from the inside out.

Signs of an Unhealthy Gut:

  • Digestive discomfort (bloating, constipation, or diarrhea)
  • Chronic fatigue or low energy levels
  • Skin problems, including eczema or acne
  • Frequent illness or weakened immunity
  • Mood swings or anxiety

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Treatment in Denver, CO

At Alternative Family Medicine & Chiropractic, we take a different approach to treating IBS. We work with each patient individually to identify triggers that make symptoms worse. We can, and often do, order food sensitivity testing and full GI panels that help identify yeast, parasites, bacteria, viruses and leaky gut, which contribute to food allergies.

In fact, we find that nearly all IBS sufferers have gluten sensitivities they may not have known about. We then offer nutritional counseling to our patients to help ease the transition into dietary changes, based directly off their blood work, thus creating a completely custom treatment program. We also consider specific lifestyle modifications to help in the process. Therapeutic-grade herbal supplementation is often recommended, in particular, compounds that are anti-inflammatory in nature, instead of steroids that are often prescribed (but that often have many unwanted side effects, themselves).
