Functional Medicine for Chronic Illness Lafayette & all of Colorado

At Aura Functional Medicine,we specialize in functional medicine for chronic illness in Lafayette and throughout Colorado—providing  personalized healthcare solutions designed to treat complex health issues and optimize your overall vitality. Led by Dr. Alison Egeland, our practice combines functional medicine, naturopathic principles, and advanced testing strategies to deliver transformative results.

Where nature meets science

We combine the timeless truths of traditional naturopathic medicine with cutting-edge functional medicine testing and diagnostic techniques. This powerful combination allows us to uncover the most overlooked root causes of illness and create truly personalized treatment plans.

Our expertise in environmental medicine means we understand how toxic exposures and specific types of infections can be the biggest drivers of your chronic symptoms—knowledge that requires extensive additional training beyond standard medical education. According to the Institute for Functional Medicine, this integrative approach addresses underlying causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms.

Comprehensive Services for Your Health Transformation

Our expertise are what sets us apart

Our practice is highly specialized. We assess patients on a much deeper level because we understand the foundations of environmental medicine—how toxic exposures, mold illness, chronic infections like Lyme disease, and other hidden factors can be the biggest drivers of your symptoms.

This expertise requires extensive additional training beyond standard medical education. Because we know what to look for and how to treat the problem head-on, working with Aura saves you time and resources. You won't waste months or years chasing false causes or running in circles.

Key Fact:

In over 90% of the cases we see, we trace the root cause of illness to gut imbalances—but the number of factors affecting your gut often surprises patients.

“I have been a patient for a year now. I am truly blessed to have found Dr. Alison Egeland. I had been dealing with thyroid, hormone, nutrient deficiencies, chronic fatigue, acid reflux, insomnia and gut issues. Dr. Egeland has significantly changed my life and health back to a much better place! I could not have improved my health this far without her hard work, dedication and guidance. She truly cares about her patients and works really hard at finding the root cause of your illness. I am a true believer and witness that functional medicine really does work!”
