Conditions We Commonly Treat
At Aspen Integrative Medical Center we specialize in treating a wide variety of acute, chronic, and preventative health concerns. With every person we listen deeply to their experience, look into the underlying causes of their condition, and prescribe a personalized treatment plan. Some people seek us because they want a second opinion of their diagnosis, treatment elsewhere has failed, and/or they’ve lost trust in their care team. While others want a more natural, holistic treatment plan that addresses the root causes of their condition with limited side effects. Regardless of what you seek, we are here to meet your needs and help you feel your best.
Fatigue and Low Energy
Often due to either adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, low sex hormones, gastrointestinal dysfunction, chronic infection(s), mold toxicity, and/or environmental toxins.
