You're in the right place

You've done everything right — and you still sense something is missing.

You've followed every recommendation, seen every specialist, and done everything asked of you. And yet you still sense there are questions worth exploring further. Conventional medicine is remarkable — and functional medicine asks an additional, complementary set of questions.

✓Ongoing gut symptoms that haven't fully resolved
✓ADHD, anxiety, or focus struggles beyond medication
✓Your athlete's recovery or performance feels like it could be better supported
✓Recurring illness, fatigue, or slow growth
✓You'd like a deeper, more individualized exploration of contributing factors

"You've talked to providers. You've followed recommendations. And still, you sense something is missing. You know your child — and you trust that instinct."

That instinct brought you here. Let's find the answers together.

Performance Youth Medicine bridges 25 years of board-certified pediatric experience with functional medicine — so you never have to choose between rigorous science and root-cause answers.

Meet Dr. Jeanne Oh, MD, FAAP

A pediatrician who became the doctor she needed for her own kids.

After 25 years in conventional pediatrics — trained at the University of Cincinnati and the University of Chicago Children's Hospital — I found myself wanting a broader set of tools. My own four boys faced challenges where I found myself wanting to look deeper than my conventional toolkit allowed.

That search led me to functional medicine. Now I bridge both worlds, bringing the rigor of board-certified pediatrics and the depth of root-cause medicine together for families who are ready for real answers.

My Story

I became the doctor I needed for my own children.

I received my MD from the University of Cincinnati — home to one of the best children's hospitals in the country — and fell in love with pediatrics from day one. I love the resilience of kids. I love empowering parents. I completed my residency at the University of Chicago Children's Hospital, where I learned to care for the sickest of sick patients.

For over 25 years in private practice, I cared for thousands of children and their families. I am profoundly grateful for that training. But over time, I became frustrated by a limited toolbox when it came to chronic, recurring problems — the ones conventional medicine manages but rarely resolves.

As a parent and mom of four boys, I lived that frustration. I couldn't find answers for my own child's abdominal pain. I watched my child struggle on ADHD medications that produced side effects without real relief. I was a trained pediatrician who still couldn't find what my children needed.

What Changed Everything

That search led me to functional medicine — and it changed how I see health entirely. Functional medicine views the body as an interconnected system. It asks why something is happening, not just what to do about it. It looks for root causes instead of managing surface symptoms.

I believe functional medicine is "learning to live in the way that God originally designed — honoring the inherent miracle of the human body and its innate design to heal."

I founded Performance Youth Medicine to be a bridge: between conventional and functional medicine, between the science of the body and the wholeness of the person. I want every child to have the foundation to flourish — body, mind, and spirit.

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

Core Values

What guides every patient interaction

Bridge Builder

I deeply value conventional medicine and never ask families to abandon it. My role is to complement your existing care team — adding depth where standard tools fall short.

Root-Cause Thinker

Symptoms are signals, not diagnoses. I ask why your child's body is responding the way it is — and work to address that answer, not just manage the surface expression.

Whole-Person Care

Body, mind, and spirit are interconnected. Real health can't be achieved by treating one in isolation. Every child is a whole person — and their care plan reflects that.

Physician-Guided · All Ages · Birth to Adolescence

The Gut Foundations Program

Every system in your child's body is connected to the gut. When it isn't thriving, nothing else can fully thrive either — not growth, not focus, not energy, not resilience.

6Month Program

6+Hours Physician Care

AllAges Served

70% of the immune system lives in the gut · The gut produces most of the body's serotonin · Gut bacteria influence brain development · Nutrient absorption depends on gut integrity · Chronic inflammation almost always starts in the gut.

You May Be Noticing a Pattern

Signs that often share a common thread

These signs can seem unrelated — but they often do. And that thread often starts in the gut.

Chronic Digestive Complaints

Recurring stomach pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or reflux that doesn't fully resolve with standard treatment.

Food Sensitivities & Reactions

Foods that trigger symptoms — rashes, stomach upset, mood changes — and a growing list of things your child can't seem to tolerate.

Slow Growth

Growth depends on what your child absorbs, not just what they eat. Poor gut health silently blocks the nutrients their body needs.

Focus & Behavior Challenges

Difficulty concentrating, emotional dysregulation, or mood swings — often tied to the gut-brain axis.

Frequent Illnesses

Getting sick repeatedly, slow to recover, or immune challenges that feel relentless — the immune system may be struggling.

Well-Managed Conditions With Unanswered Questions

Eczema, allergies, ADHD, anxiety — well managed conventionally, and yet contributing factors may be worth exploring alongside existing treatment.

What Makes This Different

You Can't Build a Healthy Child on a Compromised Foundation.

For over 25 years, I practiced as a traditional pediatrician. I love pediatrics. I deeply value conventional medicine. But I kept encountering the same frustration: we were managing symptoms without understanding why problems kept returning.

As a mom, I lived that gap personally. I couldn't find answers for my own children within my traditional toolbox. That's what led me to functional medicine.

A child's gut microbiome is unique — what works for one child may do little for another. Physician-guided, personalized functional assessment of gut health is a specialized service that complements the excellent care families are already receiving.

I collaborate with your child's existing care team. This program does not replace your pediatrician or specialists — it exists to complement care and fill a gap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gut Foundations Program FAQ

⚠️ Important Notice: The information in these FAQs is educational only and does not constitute medical advice. All medical decisions are individualized and made within a physician-patient relationship. This program does not replace primary care, emergency care, or specialty treatment. If your child has a medical emergency, call 911.

The Gut Foundations Program serves children of all ages — from infants through adolescents. All assessments and recommendations are developmentally appropriate, tailored to your child's age, growth stage, and health history. Whether your child is a newborn with feeding challenges or a teenager with chronic gut issues, the approach is individualized.

No. Families are expected to maintain an ongoing relationship with their child's primary care pediatrician and any involved specialists. Performance Youth Medicine is not a primary care or emergency medical provider. Our services complement — not substitute — existing medical care. With appropriate consent, we may collaborate with your child's healthcare team.

Functional medicine is a patient-centered, systems-based approach that seeks to understand how multiple aspects of the body interact. As a board-certified pediatrician with functional medicine training, Dr. Oh integrates evidence-based conventional care with individualized exploration of foundational factors such as nutrition, gut health, sleep, stress, and metabolic function — within her scope as a licensed physician.

When clinically appropriate, testing may include: comprehensive nutrition and metabolic laboratory testing (blood draw), functional stool testing (at-home collection), genomic or genetic analysis (saliva or cheek swab), and other assessments based on your child's history. All testing is ordered selectively and reviewed with parents before proceeding so informed decisions can be made.

Yes. All recommendations are age-appropriate and tailored to your child's developmental stage. Testing and interventions for infants differ significantly from those for older children. Dr. Oh reviews all approaches with parents before proceeding, and nothing is done without informed parental consent. Safety is always the first priority.

Performance Youth Medicine is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance or provide superbills. Programs, services, and functional medicine testing are self-pay and are not reimbursable by insurance. We encourage families to review program details and fees before enrolling to ensure clarity.

Your child's initial comprehensive assessment and results review are conducted in person at our Greenwood Village, Colorado office. This allows for a thorough evaluation and helps establish the foundation of care. Follow-up visits and check-ins may be conducted in person or virtually depending on your needs. Please contact us for current scheduling details.

Middle & High School Athletes · Denver Metro & Front Range

The Champions Blueprint

Your athlete is working hard. But something still feels off. Performance, recovery, and resilience aren't just about training harder — they start beneath the surface.

6Month Program

6+Hours Physician Care

LimitedSpots Available

"Some young athletes recover quickly, while others are exhausted. Some heal from injuries in days, while others take weeks. These differences are rarely about effort or motivation. More often, they reflect what's happening beneath the surface."
— Dr. Jeanne Oh

You May Be Noticing a Pattern

Signs your athlete's foundation needs support

Recurring & Chronic Injuries

The same knee, ankle, or shoulder keeps flaring up despite rest and treatment — a sign that underlying physiology may need support.

Slow Recovery

What should take days to heal takes weeks, disrupting training and competition schedules.

Low Energy

Getting tired faster than expected, or struggling to keep up with their own former performance levels.

Performance Plateaus

Progress has stalled despite consistent training, excellent coaching, and your athlete's full dedication.

Mental Pressure

Anxiety, overwhelming pressure, or loss of confidence affecting on-field performance and enjoyment of their sport.

Managed Conditions With Lingering Questions

Chronic health issues well-managed with conventional treatment — and where deeper exploration of contributing factors may offer additional support.

Your child's gut health affects how they absorb nutrients and regulate inflammation. Their individual biology influences recovery, stress response, and resilience. When these foundations aren't supported, progress can stall — even with excellent coaching.

What Makes This Different

You Can't Build High-Level Performance on a Compromised Foundation.

Many youth athletes are training hard — and there are foundational layers like gut health, nutrition, recovery systems, and stress physiology that functional medicine is specifically designed to explore alongside conventional care.

As a mom of youth athletes, I've seen this firsthand. I wanted answers for my own children that I couldn't find in my traditional medical toolbox — and that search changed my approach to medicine entirely.

This program is not about pushing kids harder or faster. It's about understanding how your athlete's body functions — and supporting their unique biology so they can develop and perform at their best, sustainably.

I collaborate with your existing care team. This program complements your sports medicine physician, pediatrician, and coaching staff — it does not replace them.
