Acupuncture is an ancient healing modality in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that dates back over 3000 years. It has been recognized to be effective for a wide range of conditions.

Functional medicine is a holistic system of assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Assessments are performed through an extensive interview, history, and various lab testing which may include blood work, saliva, stool, organic acid and/or antigen testing. Diagnostics involve finding the upstream causes of your symptoms and/or disease, i.e. the root cause. Treatment is personalized to your individual needs and include a nutrition and lifestyle program and most often involves the prescription of high-quality nutritional supplementation, nutraceuticals and herbal medicine. We strive to empower and inspire our patients through education so that you can go beyond the mere resolution of symptoms but optimize your health and thrive in all areas of your life long-term. 

Injection therapy involves the injection of various substances.

This includes saline/glucose solutions which trigger an innate immune response to healing in the case of acute or chronic pain conditions, nutritional supplementation in the form of vitamins and minerals to support deficiencies, homeopathic or botanical substances for musculoskeletal, emotional, and internal conditions.

Sports Medicine is a practice very near and dear to our hearts.

We are athletes, too!

Dr. Martina has not only worked with athletes but has been a competitive athlete herself, as a sponsored snowboarder in her early 20s and a triathlete and sponsored cyclist in her late 20s/early 30s.

Understanding what it means to compete with injuries, enhance sports performance and optimize recovery, she will strive to find a balance between healing your injuries and staying in competition at your peak performance! 

Just like in the case of illness where focus of treatment is on symptomatic care and not on resolving root causes, traditional weight loss programs tend to focus on losing excess weight (symptom) without addressing the root cause of why our body is holding onto this excess fat. The underlying issue can range from hormone imbalances, stress, sleep disorders, blood sugar imbalances to toxic overload. Unless the root cause is addressed, failure to lose weight is guaranteed, as a matter of fact the result is often even more weight gain as seen in yo-yo dieting. No wonder frustration ensues! There is no magical diet. Sure, you might lose weight, but if the root cause is not addressed the weight will never stay off. We offer a holistic approach to weight loss that encompasses multiple modalities along with functional medicine lab testing, nutrition, supplements, herbal medicine and lifestyle counseling to ensure not only lasting weight loss, but ultimately restoring your health, well-being and vitality

At Denver Sports and Holistic Medicine, we offer safe and effective options for restoring your natural beauty.

If you're not functioning at your best level but don't know why, you might have an underlying health condition that's not visible from the surface. And possibly not obvious to traditional allopathic practitioners. At Denver Sports and Holistic Medicine, we use functional lab testing to uncover these conditions and find the root cause of your symptoms. This provides a roadmap for your path back to optimal health.Our functional medicine lab testing helps us uncover the root cause of a wide range of conditions that a traditional lab panel won’t unveil, including: 

• Hormonal imbalances

• Food allergies 

• Nutrient deficiencies

• Toxic exposure

• Gut problems

• Genetic SNPs

We also take an extensive history of your health, environment, lifestyle and the foods you consume. We understand that all these together influence your good health and vitality. Once we determine what’s standing in the way of your best self, we’ll create a personalized holistic treatment plan to address your specific problem areas. This may include acupuncture, a nutritional plan, herbal medicine, and/or immune or nutrient boosting injections. All of these treatments aim to support your body’s innate healing process. We partner with you throughout your treatment plan so together we can get you on the path to optimal health. Explore the tests we offer below and book a consultation to speak with us about which might be right for you.

As a woman, your natural circadian rhythms play a large role in your health and well-being. These hormone cycles are complex and interconnected. When these get off track, it can affect your overall vitality, or disrupt your sleep, mood, weight, skin, menstrual cycle, and even your fertility. At Denver Sports and Holistic Medicine, we aim to restore your natural hormone cycles. This can address your symptoms of hormone imbalance such as menopause, menstrual disorders – like PCOS, endometriosis, infertility – and more. We also partner with you in family planning and pregnancy. Just like all of our services, we take a holistic approach to women’s health. After our initial consultation, we incorporate any necessary functional lab testing to unveil the root cause of your hormone imbalances. We also examine your health history, nutrition and lifestyle factors that could be contributing to your symptoms. From there, we create a treatment plan that’s personalized to your physiological and personal needs. Our holistic treatments include acupuncture, a nutritional plan, herbal medicine, nutrient-boosting injections and other natural therapies.
