What Is Functional Medicine and How Is It Different?
Functional medicine is not a new approach — it's a deeper, more complete one. Rather than suppressing symptoms with medication alone, a functional medicine doctor in Colorado looks upstream to find and correct the underlying imbalances causing those symptoms in the first place. This makes it especially powerful for chronic conditions that conventional care has struggled to resolve.
At East West Wellness, our integrative functional medicine model combines conventional Western testing with more advanced functional testing — interpreted through 25+ years of clinical experience in nutrition, genomics, and Eastern medicine. Two patients with the same diagnosis may have entirely different root causes requiring entirely different treatment plans.

Root-Cause Medicine Backed by Advanced Testing
Standard blood panels are a starting point — not the full picture. At East West Wellness, we use specialized functional testing to reveal the biochemical and metabolic imbalances that conventional labs routinely miss. Your testing plan is always personalized based on your health history, symptoms, and goals — and results are interpreted in the context of optimal function, not just 'normal' vs. 'abnormal.'
-
Reveals deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants affecting energy, mood, and immune function — often missed in routine labs.
-
Evaluates metabolic function, mitochondrial health, neurotransmitter production, and detoxification pathways.
-
Maps gut bacteria, fungi, parasites, and digestive markers to uncover the source of digestive symptoms, immune dysregulation, and more.
-
Comprehensive panels evaluating cortisol rhythms, sex hormones, thyroid markers, and adrenal function far beyond standard TSH tests.
-
Identifies inflammatory food triggers and environmental toxin burdens that may be driving chronic symptoms.
-
DNA-based analysis to personalize nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations based on your unique genetic expression.
Precision Functional Medicine Through Nutrigenomics
What if your treatment plan could be built around your unique DNA? At East West Wellness, it can. Dr. Donna is one of a small number of practitioners in Colorado offering certified nutrigenomic interpretation as part of an integrated functional medicine program.
Nutrigenomics is the science of how nutrition impacts gene expression. By analyzing your personal genetic code, we can precisely identify where your genes may be creating challenges in key metabolic pathways — including detoxification, inflammation response, hormonal balance, and nutrient absorption. This allows us to stop guessing and start targeting.

Measurable Outcome
While nutrigenomics is valuable in managing existing conditions, its greatest power lies in prevention. When combined with functional testing, genetic panels provide a proactive, fully personalized roadmap to optimal health — before symptoms even develop. This is nutrigenomics testing Colorado patients are increasingly seeking out.

What People Are Saying
“Following the functional medicine approach and micronutrients as well as organic acids testing I repleted many nutrient deficiencies that could only be discovered with specialized testing and felt such a difference!! Most importantly I regained my energy, mood, and MYSELF to live again, and that I am forever grateful for.”
— E. L.
“I had been to traditional doctors, as well as a naturopath, and no one could figure out what was wrong. Donna's questions and eventual diet program were thoughtful, easy to follow, and right on track to find a solution. Which she did!… I can't thank Donna enough, her thoughtful care has given me back my life.”
— A. D.
Dr Sigmond took the time to dive deep into what didn’t make sense. With each test (from my genetics to my mitochondria) Dr Sigmond unlocked doors, uncovered answers and ultimately made sense from mystery. She was kind, conscientious, gentle, and simultaneously stubborn in her determination to lead me to health.”
— A. O.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Traditional medicine excels at acute care — diagnosing and treating immediate health crises. Functional medicine takes a broader view, using advanced testing to find the root causes of chronic conditions rather than just managing symptoms. Where a conventional doctor might prescribe medication to suppress a symptom, a functional medicine doctor in Colorado like Dr. Donna will investigate why that symptom is occurring and develop a plan to correct the underlying imbalance.
