Hair loss is one of those symptoms that can feel incredibly frustrating—and there is rarely just one possible cause. At Tendwell Functional Medicine, when someone comes to us concerned about increased shedding, thinning hair, a widening part, or changes in hair texture, we like to take a deeper look at why it may be happening rather than focusing only on the hair itself.
Many people ask me, “Will I get reimbursed when seeing a functional medicine provider?” It’s a great question—and not surprising, given how complicated insurance can be (often by design). The short answer: Yes, reimbursement is possible, but it depends on your insurance plan. At Tendwell, we provide a document called a “superbill” for each visit to make the process as straightforward as possible.

Hair loss can be a challenging and deeply personal issue. At Tendwell in Denver, we take a holistic, functional medicine approach to uncover the root causes of hair loss and thinning, helping our patients find effective, natural solutions. As part of our commitment to comprehensive care, we stay up-to-date on emerging treatments that show promise for stimulating hair growth. One increasingly popular method is Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)—a non-invasive treatment that supports natural hair growth for both men and women. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to expect from LLLT, covering how it works, available device options, and potential outcomes.
In our functional medicine practice, we encounter a wide array of physical symptoms, but one of the most distressing for patients can be hair loss. Hair is often tied to personal identity and self-esteem, so losing it can deeply impact emotional well-being. In this blog we discuss a functional approach to treating hair loss.
