The functional medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.

By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, functional medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.

Dr. Casey Strojny has been serving the south Denver community since 2016 when she graduated from National University of Health Sciences in Chicago. With hundreds of hours of Post-Graduate training in Functional Medicine and prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric Chiropractic care, she understands how to work with patients to ensure they receive the best care possible. Offering a thoughtful and personalized approach ensures Dr. Casey’s full commitment to the health and well-being of each of her patients.

​Dr. Casey became a mother in December of 2020, and now feels more equipped than ever to treat the special populations she works with. After a heartbreaking turn of events in her first pregnancy resulting in a cesarean, she chose a home Birth VBAC for her second pregnancy. Her experience with both ends of the birth spectrum allow her to assist all mothers in their birth journey. She is also trained as a doula, so she understands the risks and benefits of all the different interventions that could present in all birth settings.

Casey is truly the epitome of practicing what she preaches. She believes in the power of food as medicine, and uses natural supplements and lifestyle interventions rather than medications to manage most symptoms that arise in her household. When she’s not in the office, you can usually find Dr. Casey using nature as medicine by escaping to the mountains to hike, ski, or explore with Dr. Andrew, her two girls, Sloane and Maysen, and dogs Mani and Dwight.

​Her mission is simple: to provide her patients the facts they can trust, and the tools they need to make life-long impactful changes on their health and well-being.
