Patient stories

What patients say

“I started seeing Jason in February after receiving a Hashimotos diagnosis along with a long list of sensitivities and digestive issues. Jason has changed my whole life and I have never felt better, even just after a few months of treatment. Each time we add another supplement I continue to see vast improvement in my mind and body. I am so grateful for Jason and I cannot recommend him enough!!”

“Jason’s knowledge and living connection with Chinese herbal medicine as well as Accupuncture is helping me so much in getting my energy back and microbiome into balance after having Giardia. I receive ongoing support from him and watched my partner recover twice as fast from Covid with Jason’s help. Highly recommend.”

Google (Sept. 2022) · Karla R.

“I had digestion problems and was diagnosed by a doctor as having H. Pylori bacteria in my system. That problem was treated with a intense dose of antibiotics that was painful and made me sick and disoriented. After the treatment I still had the bacteria. The doctor wanted to give a another mega treatment of antibiotics. I couldn’t go through that again. That is when I began treatment with Jason. Acupuncture and herbal tea and over the counter supplements that he recommended. I did this for two months. Then I had another test made for H. Pylori and the results were negative! Thank you Jason for your knowledge, treatment and helpful counseling. I am so grateful.”

Google (Dec. 2017) · Sandra P.

“I had seen over 10 practitioners in Boulder for a chronic autoimmune problem with no luck. I had suffered for years. After just a few visits with Jason, my condition started to turn around and eventually completely clear up. I am so thankful for his knowledge, compassion, and skill. I now recommend him to all of my friends and family.”

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine looks for the underlying drivers of illness, such as gut imbalances, immune reactions, hormones, nutrient gaps, and toxins, instead of only managing symptoms. Read more in What is Integrative Functional Medicine?
How is this different from other functional medicine practices?
Jason combines advanced lab testing with 25 years of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture. You get both a modern, lab-based assessment and a traditional diagnosis, so treatment can be precise and gentle, often with fewer supplements.
Do I need lab testing?
Not always. Jason first reviews the labs you already have and only recommends tests that will change your treatment. Labs are billed separately, at discounted practitioner pricing.
Which labs do you use?
Leading functional medicine labs, including Cyrex and Quest, and tests such as the GI-MAP and DUTCH.
Can I work with Jason remotely?
Yes, by video or phone. What a video visit includes depends on the state you are in. See video visits.
Can I ask questions between visits?
Quick questions by email or text are always welcome. Questions that need a detailed answer, such as new symptoms, lab results, or changes to your plan, are best handled in a follow-up visit.
Is Jason a medical doctor?
No. Jason Blalack is a licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac.) and Chinese herbalist with over 20 years of functional medicine study. He works alongside your physicians, not in place of them.
