From the practitioner: About My Practice

I'm Dr. Christine Maren, a functional medicine physician, real food enthusiast & mother of three dedicated to helping others restore good health so that they can lead the life they deserve. I'm board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine and trained by the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFMCP) & Amy Myers M.D. I opened my own practice after working at Austin UltraHealth in Austin, Texas. I have since lived and practiced in Metro Detroit and am now back home in beautiful Colorado. I continue to see established patients via telemedicine and am thrilled to now offer new patients in Colorado, Michigan and Texas the option to establish care remotely through telehealth.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Your health journey with us begins with a 90 minute initial consultation with Dr. Maren so that we can understand your concerns and analyze your case in-depth. After your initial consultation, we’ll order comprehensive labs such as a complete thyroid panel, nutrient levels, inflammatory markers, autoimmune markers, etc. as well as specialty functional medicine testing for hormones, gut health, food sensitivities, mold toxicity, heavy metals, and more.
Over the next year you’ll meet regularly with our team (Nurses/Nutritionists) for follow up visits to review your progress, re-assess lab work, tweak your program, and answer questions.
