If your athlete is working hard but something still feels off, there's usually a reason...
It's not about having exceptional talent or pushing harder.
It's about understanding how your child's body functions — and supporting their unique abilities so they can develop and perform at their best.

The Reality about Youth Athletic Performance
The Reality about Youth Athletic Performance
Some young athletes recover quickly, while others are exhausted
Some heal from injuries in days, while others take weeks.
Some manage competition pressure with ease, while others struggle with anxiety or self-doubt.
As a board-certified pediatrician and a mom of youth athletes, I've learned that these differences are rarely about effort or motivation. More often, they reflect what's happening beneath the surface.
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 and training.
Performance Youth Medicine focuses on better understanding your athlete's individual physiology and supporting foundational health and performance over time — in sports and in life.
*This program focuses on optimizing foundational health and performance and does not replace primary care, emergency care, or specialty medical treatment. Specific outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
*Limited spots available

YOU MAY BE NOTICING A PATTERN
Recurring injuries
The same knee, ankle, or shoulder keeps flaring up despite rest and treatment, creating much frustration
Slow recovery
What should take a few weeks to heal takes significantly longer, disrupting training and competition schedules
Managed Conditions
Chronic health issues being "managed" with medications or interventions, but never fully addressed at their root.
Low Energy
Getting tired faster than expected or struggling to keep up with others
Mental Pressure
Anxiety, overwhelming pressure, or loss of confidence that affects on-field performance and enjoyment of the sport.
Performance Plateaus
Progress has stalled despite consistent training, excellent coaching, and your athlete's full dedication and effort.

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.

THE MISSING PIECE
Here's what most families aren't told:
You Can't Build High-Level Performance on a Compromised Foundation...
Many youth athletes are training hard while their gut health, nutrition, recovery systems, and stress response aren't fully supported. Often, no one is looking at how the body is functioning as a whole.

WHAT MAKES THIS APPROACH DIFFERENT
For over 20 years, I practiced as a traditional pediatrician, caring for thousands of children and families. I love pediatrics. I love empowering parents. And I deeply value conventional medicine.
But I repeatedly encountered the same frustration: we were managing symptoms without understanding why problems kept returning.
As a mom of youth athletes, I experienced this gap personally. I wanted answers for my own children that I couldn't find within my traditional medical toolbox.
That's what led me to functional medicine.
Functional medicine views the body as an interconnected system. It asks why something may be happening, rather than focusing only on symptom management. It allows us to explore foundational factors such as gut health, nutrition, inflammation, genetics, and stress physiology.
Because I am trained in both conventional pediatrics and functional medicine, I work comfortably in both worlds — knowing when traditional medical care is essential and when deeper exploration of contributing factors may be appropriate.
I collaborate with your child's existing care team. This program does not replace your pediatrician, sports medicine physician, or other specialists. It exists to complement care and help fill a gap in youth health and performance support.

Do we need to stop seeing our current pediatrician or specialists?
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 and does not replace your child’s existing medical care. Our services are designed to complement—not substitute for—care provided by your pediatrician, sports medicine physician, and other healthcare professionals.
With appropriate consent, we may collaborate with members of your child’s healthcare team to support foundational health and performance optimization. You can think of Performance Youth Medicine as an additional layer of support within your child’s broader care ecosystem.
Are appointments virtual or in-person?
Your child’s initial comprehensive assessment and results review are conducted in person at our Greenwood Village office to support a thorough evaluation and establish care.
Follow-up visits during the 6-month program may be conducted either in person or via secure telehealth, depending on clinical appropriateness, provider recommendation, and your family’s preferences.
Please note that certain services or concerns may require in-person evaluation. Telehealth services are provided in accordance with applicable federal and Colorado laws and are not appropriate for emergency or urgent medical conditions.
This hybrid model allows us to deliver consistent, personalized support while accommodating busy athletic and family schedules.
What age athletes do you work with?
Our youth athlete program primarily serves middle and high school athletes (typically ages 11–18) who are committed to their sport and seeking support with performance, recovery, or foundational health.
All recommendations are developmentally appropriate and individualized based on your child’s age, growth stage, medical history, and training demands.
In some cases, services may also be appropriate for younger children or older teens who are interested in optimizing health and performance in sports, school, or daily life. Program eligibility and specific recommendations are determined following an individualized clinical assessment. When appropriate, a foundational or gut health–focused program may be recommended.
Does insurance cover this program?
Performance Youth Medicine is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance or provide superbills.
Our programs, services, and functional medicine testing are self-pay and are not reimbursable by insurance. Payment is the responsibility of the family at the time services are rendered.
Many aspects of functional and integrative care fall outside traditional insurance-covered benefits. We encourage families to review program details and fees in advance to ensure clarity before enrolling.

What does "functional medicine" mean, and how is it different from conventional care?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered, systems-based approach that seeks to understand how multiple aspects of the body interact and how underlying factors may influence health and performance.
As a board-certified pediatrician with additional training in functional medicine principles, I integrate evidence-based conventional medical care with an individualized exploration of foundational factors such as nutrition, gut health, sleep, stress, and metabolic function—within my scope of practice as a licensed physician.
This approach is designed to complement, not replace, standard medical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment.
What types of testing do you use, and are they safe for young athletes?
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)
Other assessments based on an individual child’s history, symptoms, and goals
All testing is ordered selectively and only when medically appropriate. Tests are performed through reputable clinical laboratories and are commonly used in pediatric and adolescent populations.
Before any testing is ordered, we review the purpose, potential benefits, limitations, and any relevant considerations with parents or legal guardians so they can make an informed decision.
How quickly will we see improvements?
This is not a quick-fix program. The focus is on building sustainable health foundations, which typically occurs gradually over time.
Results vary, and specific outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Each child responds differently based on individual physiology, underlying health factors, and consistency with recommended strategies.
Our role is to provide individualized assessment, evidence-informed guidance, and ongoing monitoring, with adjustments made as clinically appropriate based on a child’s response and evolving needs.
My athlete is healthy—is this still worth it?
Yes. Many families choose to work with us proactively, even when their athlete is currently doing well.
Our focus is on supporting foundational health, optimizing nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle factors, and identifying opportunities to strengthen resilience as training demands increase. Some athletes and families find that this approach helps support consistency, durability, and long-term development.
Responses vary, and specific performance outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Our goal is to provide individualized guidance that supports your child’s overall health and capacity to train, perform, and grow safely over time.
