Virtual care for women in Greenwood Village
Functional Medicine & Menopause Doctor in Greenwood Village, CO
Who is a functional medicine and menopause doctor serving Greenwood Village?
Greenwood Village women with full calendars can see Dr. Christine Maren, D.O., by video between meetings. She is ABFM board-certified in family medicine, an IFM Certified Professional in functional medicine (FMCP-M), and holds the MSCP credential from The Menopause Society. Her team addresses perimenopause and menopause, bioidentical HRT when appropriate, thyroid and Hashimoto's, weight and insulin resistance, and the brain fog and poor sleep that make demanding work harder.
Around the Denver Tech Center, workdays tend to be stacked: early calls, back-to-back meetings and a commute on I-25 or I-225 at either end. When perimenopause brings brain fog, 3 a.m. wake-ups or anxiety you never had before, work is often where you feel it first. Dr. Maren's care fits that reality. Visits happen by video, so you can step into a private room instead of losing half a day, and the care team answers portal messages between appointments. She has been there herself, rebuilding her own health in her early 40s while growing a practice. Getting clear answers starts with actual data.

What does Dr. Maren treat for women in Greenwood Village?
Hormones, thyroid, gut, metabolism and the immune system all influence one another, so she treats them as one connected picture.

Bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone when appropriate, prescribed and monitored by a physician.
A full thyroid panel with antibodies, not just TSH, and medication tuned to how you feel.
Testing for SIBO, dysbiosis and infections, then a plan to remove, repair and rebuild.
Insulin resistance, muscle and body composition, with GLP-1 therapy when appropriate.
Irregular cycles, androgen excess and estrogen dominance, traced to the root cause.
Finding the triggers that keep inflammation going, alongside the care you already have.
How is Dr. Maren's care different from a typical visit?
She combines the power to prescribe with the precision of functional medicine, and she looks for the root cause instead of treating one symptom at a time.

Functional medicine and menopause care in Greenwood Village: FAQs
My job in the Tech Center means a lot of travel. Can I join a visit from a hotel room?
Yes, if the hotel is in one of the five states where Dr. Maren is licensed: California, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan or Texas. A trip to Dallas or Chicago works the same as a day at home. If you are traveling anywhere else, the team will schedule the visit for when you are back in Colorado.
Can a functional medicine doctor prescribe hormone therapy?
It depends on the doctor's license. Dr. Maren is a board-certified family physician as well as a certified functional medicine practitioner, so she can prescribe bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone when appropriate, along with thyroid medication and other treatments, and adjust them as your labs and symptoms change.
Is there a hormone doctor for women near the Denver Tech Center?
Yes. Dr. Christine Maren is a menopause-certified (MSCP) functional medicine physician licensed in Colorado, and she sees Greenwood Village women by telehealth. She evaluates sex hormones, thyroid and metabolic markers together and prescribes bioidentical hormone therapy when it is right for you, based on your history and goals.
Can perimenopause cause brain fog and trouble focusing at work?
Yes. Fluctuating hormones can affect sleep, mood and concentration, and poor sleep alone makes focus harder. Thyroid problems, low iron or blood sugar swings can add to it, so Dr. Maren tests for each of them rather than assuming. Once the drivers are clear, your plan might include sleep support, nutrition changes, strength training and hormone therapy when appropriate.

We do not contract with insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. This allows us to provide personalized, unhurried care without the limitations of insurance-based models. However, the vast majority of patients use their insurance to cover conventional lab work, and many also use HSA or FSA funds to pay for our services.
Can Dr. Maren be my primary care doctor?
No. The practice functions as a specialty consulting service. You will still need a primary care provider near Greenwood Village for general medical needs, physical exams and urgent issues like infections or injuries.
