Dr. Castellano’s passion for medicine and helping people was implanted from birth via his parents – a physician and nurse. The Colorado native received his elementary and secondary education in Denver. Tom’s humanitarian approach and Christian values evolved through his parent’s guidance. Tom earned a scholarship to Stanford University where he received both Bachelors’ and Masters’ Degrees in Neurobiology. He followed his dream and was admitted to the University of Wisconsin Medical School earning his Medical Degree and board certification in Emergency Medicine. Dr. Castellano loved the fast pace of the ER, but eventually found his heart was in helping people with chronic diseases including through the end-of-life care in hospice.

Dr. Castellano, along with many of his patients, became disheartened with the number of complex medicinal regimens that patients were following, and yet not achieving fulfilling results. After years of studying and observing the fundamental causes of diseases, he has evolved and embraced the idea of functional and integrative practices. Finding and treating the root cause of issues, and spending quality time with patients has led to the opening of this holistic/naturalistic practice treating the brain, body, heart, and soul.

Carissa’s dad can attest to her early interest in the medical world; she began performing surgery on him with toy surgical equipment at age five. Following the completion of her elementary and secondary education in Johnstown, Colorado, her passion for medicine led to employment by a talented functional physician in Colorado. Under his tutelage, Carissa developed the skills and knowledge to be a medical assistant. She also earned her phlebotomist certification. This certification was used at Labcorp Longmont United Hospital. Carissa was able to compare conventional/allopathic medicine practiced at hospitals to functional medicine. The significant difference for her was that the hospital used a “quick fix to send patients on their way, never truly targeting the root issue.” Carissa is happy that she’s now engaged in integrative care “where people can truly heal from the root issue”.
