Boulder County
Boulder functional medicine & menopause care.
Integrative telehealth for women in Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Longmont, Superior, and Erie. Perimenopause, hormone therapy, thyroid, and metabolic health, considered together.
A whole-person approach
Functional medicine built around midlife women.
Boulder women tend to arrive well informed. They have often already tried lifestyle changes, supplements, and short conventional visits and want a provider who will actually sit with the complexity. Areté was built for that: longer visits, foundational labs when indicated, and a written plan that addresses hormones, thyroid, metabolism, sleep, and stress together.
Michelle Mullins, NP, is dual board-certified and trained through the Institute for Functional Medicine and the Menopause Society. Care is delivered by Colorado-licensed telehealth so you never lose an afternoon to a commute across the Front Range.

Common questions
Boulder functional medicine FAQ.
Do you see patients in Boulder?
Yes. Areté is a Colorado-licensed telehealth practice serving women in Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Longmont, Superior, and Erie. Visits, labs, and prescriptions are managed virtually.
How is functional medicine practiced in Boulder different?
A functional medicine approach evaluates hormones alongside metabolism, thyroid, sleep, nutrition, stress, and gut health, then builds one connected plan instead of treating each symptom separately.
Can I get bioidentical hormone therapy in Boulder?
When clinically appropriate, we prescribe FDA-approved bioidentical estradiol and progesterone. Compounded formulations are used only when a standard product will not meet the need.
Do you address perimenopause, not just menopause?
Yes. Perimenopause can start in the late 30s and 40s with cycle changes, sleep disruption, anxiety, and brain fog. We evaluate and treat perimenopause directly rather than waiting for a formal menopause diagnosis.
