“Functional Medicine gets to the root cause of illness,” explains Dr. Jamie Kyei-Frimpong, Medical Director of Total Vitality Colorado. A retired competitive marathon and ultra-runner, Dr. Jamie’s main passion has always been fitness. Through her own health journey, Dr. Jamie discovered functional medicine, leading her to open Total Vitality.

Due to overtraining, Dr. Jaimie started to notice that she was experiencing a slew of health issues, including weight gain and inflammation. This experience led her to seek a more holistic approach, which allowed her to discover the root of her underlying issues. Now, Dr. Jaimie opened Total Vitality, where she helps others balance their hormones and improve their life.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Code for a fascinating conversation on functional medicine. Learn more about the difference between functional medicine and going to your doctor, the power of peptides, and why providers should lead by example through a healthy lifestyle.
