Our physicians have undergone extensive education through the prestigious Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM) and the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM). At Boulder Holistic, our providers spend time listening to our patients' histories and track the timeline of their illnesses, treating the complex interactions between genetics, environment and lifestyle that contribute to the development of chronic illnesses.

Chronic illnesses include conditions that can occur for many years and even lifetimes. They often produce symptoms like severe fatigue, headaches, body pain, joint pain, and nervous system disorders. Patients suffering with chronic illness report a poor quality of life, affecting their ability to engage in work and maintain personal relationships. They sometimes experience depression and anxiety. We treat the following chronic illnesses:

·   Autoimmune disorders
