What is Functional Medicine?
The Healing Collective • July 11, 2022
Functional Medicine is an integrative, effective way to get to the root cause of your health issues and solve them! Tracy Shulsinger, Family Nurse Practitioner, Functional Medicine Provider, and owner of The Healing Collective Functional & Integrative Medicine, expands on how she practices Functional Medicine in this video.
Functional Medicine is an approach that addresses chronic healthcare issues. Has your conventional medical treatment been unsuccessful? Are even the specialists stumped and unable to help you? Let's look for the root cause.

If you’ve ever taken a handful of vitamins and wondered how much your body is actually absorbing — you’re not alone. Nutrients taken orally can lose a significant percentage of their potency as they move through the digestive system. IV nutrient therapy changes that equation entirely. By delivering vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream, IV therapy allows for near-100% absorption and rapid cellular delivery — something no capsule or powder can match. The result? Faster energy restoration, deeper detoxification, and noticeable vitality that most people feel within hours to a day. At The Healing Collective Functional & Integrative Medicine in Niwot, CO , we use IV therapy not just for hydration or recovery, but as a powerful tool for whole-body healing — especially when combined with good nutrition and targeted supplementation. Because while IV therapy provides an incredible boost, food and supplements remain the foundation of sustained wellness. Without them, many people would experience even greater nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, and barriers to healing. Together, a nutrient-rich diet, quality supplementation, and IV therapy create a synergistic path to true cellular vitality.
