Dr. Sam's interests and passions lie in the total wellness of the human body. Her other passions luckily coincide very well with the Colorado lifestyle. On weekends, you can almost always find her skiing if there is snow. Otherwise, hiking with her cat, rafting, and biking are all activities she can enjoy in warmer weather!

Dr. Samantha Boldt has completed over 1,000 post-graduate hours in the study of functional medicine, nutrition, and lab analysis. Her passion for functional medicine began about 17 years ago after her own struggle with Lyme disease. Over the course of three years, she developed severe symptoms and visited more than 20 specialists, none of whom could diagnose the underlying cause. Frustrated and feeling hopeless, she eventually sought out a functional medicine practitioner, who correctly diagnosed her with Lyme disease. Within a month of starting treatment, she began to see improvements. Although it was a long road to recovery, the hope was there. Now, her mission is to help patients before they are passed from doctor to doctor without answers. If she had seen a functional medicine practitioner at the onset of her symptoms, her recovery might have taken months rather than years.

Through her studies, Dr. Sam discovered her true passion lies in the balance of hormones and the digestive system. These two systems are so interconnected that healing and restoring balance within them can often lead to the remission of a wide range of symptoms. When patients think about hormones, they often focus on the thyroid and sex hormones, which are critical, but many other hormones play vital roles as well. Hormones influence everything from brain signals and digestive function to cardiovascular regulation and immune system responses. Dr. Sam frequently uses the DUTCH test to gain a detailed insight into her patients' hormone profiles.

In functional medicine, the digestive tract is paramount. Many symptoms, from hormone imbalances and autoimmune issues to skin conditions and beyond, originate in the gut. Functional medicine cannot be practiced without addressing the digestive system in its entirety, from the mouth to the colon and everything in between. Dr. Sam works diligently to ensure her patients understand the importance of what they put in and on their bodies. She provides guidance on high-quality nutrition, balances the microbiome, improves stomach acid levels, heals the intestinal lining, and more. Even when a patient doesn't report digestive issues, but presents with a host of other symptoms, gut health is always addressed.

Fortunately, with the growing awareness of functional medicine, many patients don't have to reach the level of health deterioration that Dr. Sam experienced before they start making changes. Preventative care is the best medicine. Dr. Sam is passionate about working with prevention-focused patients-those who may have minor symptoms and want to optimize their health before more significant issues arise-as well as children. We offer free 15-minute consultations with Dr. Sam to determine if functional medicine is the right fit for you. Please call or email us if you'd like to set up an appointment or have any questions!
