At Bionuu Functional Medicine Denver, we believe that good medical care begins with understanding the person, not just the symptoms.
Our approach to integrative medicine combines conventional medical care with complementary therapies, taking into account your medical history, current health concerns, lifestyle, and personal goals. Located in Centennial, approximately 20 minutes south of downtown Denver, our physician-led clinic offers individualized care for patients throughout the Denver metropolitan area.
Integrative medicine brings together conventional medical treatments and complementary approaches to provide more comprehensive care.
Rather than focusing on one symptom or medical condition at a time, integrative medicine considers how different systems in the body interact and influence overall health.
This approach may include conventional medications, nutritional guidance, lifestyle changes, specialized laboratory testing, and natural therapies when appropriate.
Integrative medicine does not mean choosing between conventional and alternative treatments. Both have a place in patient care, and the decision to use either depends on the patient's individual circumstances.
At Bionuu, Dr. Sorina Simion-Rodgers, MD, combines her background in conventional medicine with additional training in functional and integrative medicine. Her goal is to understand the factors contributing to each patient's health concerns and develop a treatment plan that addresses the whole person.
Conventional medicine plays an essential role in diagnosing and treating illness, particularly in acute and emergency situations. Integrative medicine builds on this foundation by taking a broader view of health and allowing more time to explore the factors that may contribute to a patient's condition.
Your initial consultation includes approx. 60 minutes of direct physician time. This allows for a detailed discussion of your medical history, symptoms, previous treatments, nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, and health goals.
The body's systems are interconnected. A problem affecting one system may influence others. We consider these relationships rather than evaluating each symptom in isolation.
Depending on your needs, your care plan may include conventional medical treatments, nutritional recommendations, lifestyle changes, and complementary therapies.
There is no single treatment plan that works for everyone. Recommendations are based on your medical history, clinical evaluation, laboratory findings, and personal circumstances.
We believe patients should understand their health concerns and the reasons behind treatment recommendations. We encourage questions and active participation in medical decisions.
People seek integrative medicine for many different reasons. Some have ongoing health concerns that have not been fully resolved. Others are interested in exploring additional treatment options or taking a more proactive approach to maintaining their health.
Integrative medicine may be of interest to individuals who:
At Bionuu, we see patients with a wide range of health concerns, including:
At Bionuu, conventional and complementary medicine are not viewed as opposing approaches. Conventional medicine has made enormous contributions to human health, and we recognize its importance in diagnosing, treating, and managing disease. At the same time, complementary therapies may offer additional options for selected patients. Our goal is to consider the available approaches and determine which may be appropriate for each individual.
We begin by reviewing your medical history, symptoms, previous treatments, and relevant laboratory findings.
Recommendations are based on your individual needs. We do not automatically recommend treatments simply because they are available at our clinic.
We consider how different treatments may interact and encourage communication with your other healthcare providers when appropriate.
Your care plan is reviewed and adjusted according to your clinical progress, response to treatment, and laboratory results.
We offer several therapies that may be included in an individualized integrative care plan.
Our IV nutrient therapy services include intravenous vitamins, minerals, botanicals and other selected compounds. Treatment recommendations are based on your medical evaluation, health concerns, and individual needs. IV therapies are administered by trained nursing staff under physician oversight.

Learn moreOur hormone therapy services address thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormone concerns. Treatment is guided by medical history, symptoms, laboratory testing, and clinical evaluation. Bioidentical hormones may be considered when appropriate.
Learn morePeptide therapy involves the use of selected peptides, which are molecules involved in many biological signaling processes. The potential benefits, limitations, and suitability of specific peptides are considered individually.
Learn moreOur age management services focus on maintaining health and function as we age. Depending on the individual, care may address metabolic health, hormonal changes, nutrition, physical function, and other factors associated with aging.
Learn moreWe offer integrative cancer support for patients who wish to incorporate complementary approaches into their care. Our services are designed to be used alongside treatment provided by the patient's oncology team, not as a replacement for it. We consider each patient's diagnosis, treatment history, current oncology treatment, and overall health when discussing supportive care options.
Learn moreLaboratory testing can provide valuable information when evaluating complex health concerns. We use established laboratories, including Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics, as well as selected specialty laboratories when additional testing is appropriate. Testing is chosen according to the patient's clinical needs rather than using the same panels for everyone.
Before your consultation, we ask you to provide information about your medical history, previous testing, current medications, supplements, and health concerns. Our nursing staff reviews this information to help prepare for your visit.
During your consultation, Dr. Simion-Rodgers takes time to discuss your symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, lifestyle, and goals. The purpose is to develop a clearer understanding of your health and identify areas that may benefit from further evaluation.
Additional laboratory testing may be recommended when clinically appropriate. Depending on your needs, this may include general blood work, hormone testing, metabolic markers, nutritional assessments, or specialty testing.
After reviewing your medical information and available test results, Dr. Simion-Rodgers develops an individualized care plan. The plan may include conventional treatments, nutritional and lifestyle recommendations, supplements, and selected complementary therapies. Recommendations are explained and prioritized so that changes can be introduced in a manageable way.
Follow-up visits allow us to evaluate your progress, review laboratory findings, and make adjustments when needed. Visits are generally more frequent at the beginning of care and may become less frequent as your condition stabilizes.
Your care involves more than the time spent in the consultation room. Although the initial physician consultation lasts 60 minutes, the complete evaluation and planning process typically involves approximately three hours of professional time, including medical record review, laboratory evaluation, research, development of recommendations, and care coordination.
Complementary therapies are not appropriate for everyone. Before recommending treatment, we review your medical history, medications, supplements, previous treatments, and any conditions that may affect your eligibility.
Some therapies may interact with medications or require additional precautions. Others may not be appropriate because of an underlying medical condition.
We also recognize that the scientific evidence supporting complementary treatments varies. Some approaches have substantial clinical research, while others have more limited evidence. Our recommendations take these differences into consideration.
Patients are encouraged to maintain relationships with their primary care physicians and specialists. Integrative care is intended to complement, rather than replace, necessary conventional medical treatment.
