The entire team is educated, professional and kind. Their passion and dedication is shown in the quality of service they provide. I found True Life Medicine through a friend's recommendation because I was tried of treating the symptoms and not finding the root problem to address. The True Life Medicine team helped me narrow down the issues and educated me on how to live a healthier life. I am smarter and more aware of how to navigate situations that trigger issues in my body. True Life Medicine focuses your well being as a whole person. That level of care is hard to come by.

TrueLife is an amazing group of people! They are passionate about helping people become who they are meant to be by helping them along in their path to health. I came to see Dr James after experiencing a covid vaccine injury. I was so frustrated after spending a year and a half with my pcp, various specialists, and lots of therapies, through which I experienced very little healing. I was hopeful that switching gears, and trying a functional medicine perspective might help. Dr James spent many hours in the beginning, getting to know me, taking an in-depth health history, talking about my diet, personal experiences, and various labs to get the whole picture of who I was and where my health was at. From there he helped me process and think about things in such a way as to educate me and give me the skills to navigate whatever comes my way in the future. I’m so appreciative of his coaching, teaching, encouraging, and caring way of imparting wisdom. The health coach, Kristin Sartain, is such a delightful person! She whole heartedly cheers you on towards your goals. She helps you dig deep, process the hardships, and helps you walk forward with joy - no matter what the circumstances are. Jon and Zoe are such welcoming, attentive, and sweet people! I enjoyed interacting with them - their joy was contagious! Messages and questions were always handled in a timely manner and very helpful. I would highly recommend TrueLife!

If you are looking for a health checkup, looking for a life change, looking to get healthier, then this is the place for you! My wife and I have been going to TLM for 18 months. My wife had fibromyalgia for a decade, and I was 40 pounds overweight. And we've had great success on both fronts. My wife is healthier than she's been in decades, and I am down 40 pounds over the past few years, with another 20 pounds to go. TLM takes extensive blood tests to determine what your body is lacking and what supplements to take. They teach you how to eat better. They are your coaches and advocates for better health!

Although I have only had two appointments at True Life Medicine so far, my life was amazingly improved after only one. You see, I have never had much energy, even as a child. For those of you old enough to remember Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour, it was sponsored by Geritol... a treatment for “iron poor blood “ . I was around 8 years old and was sure that I had that, but my parents wouldn’t buy me any. At 11 I went away to camp. The first afternoon, during orientation, I crawled up onto a top bunk and fell asleep. For the next two summers I was known as “Sleepy, Chief of the Utes”. When I went away to college I was quickly tagged with the nickname “Slug “. While I told everyone that it was because I was hot as lead and twice as fast, no one believed it. On my very first visit, Dr James suspected I might have a vitamin B12 deficiency and gave me a B12 injection. I felt better than I thought possible immediately. I am now on regular B12 injections and have more vim and vigor than ever. At 67 years old, I am no longer needing a nap every afternoon and am way more productive. I now have the energy to accomplish my desires and no longer consider myself to be a “lazy slug “. On my second visit, Dr James found some other issues in my blood work, that need to be addressed, so I am looking forward to feeling even better. Dr James and his entire staff are warm and caring and you know instantly that you are in the right place. If you have never experienced Functional Medicine, you owe it to your self and to those who love you, to discover what your TRUE LIFE can be. Thank you, Bob Hunter

True Life Medicine has given me hope. I had lost trust in Dr.s and coming here has changed my life. Still having health challenges but Dr. James and Lora Jean have teamed up with me to find solutions. They show respect and genuine care and concern for me as a patient. Dr.James teaches me about my body and what it is doing. They give you undivided attention and leave you feeling like you are the only patient. The whole team cares for the patients in a manner that stands above any place I have been. I am honored to me a part of the True Life Family. Thank you all for blessing my life.

My husband Steve and I are so grateful for Dr. James and the wonderful staff at True Life Medicine. We have been searching for health answers for several years, trying to work through the confusing and conflicting information available. Almost as a last attempt, we found Dr. James and decided to work with him. We are so very glad we did! He has helped identify problems other providers have failed to identify, and we are already seeing real benefits from the individualized, yet wholistic approach has recommended. If you are frustrated and about to give up on real help, please don't; please contact Dr. James and at least give him the opportunity to explain his approach. We will never regret our decision to work with him. Juliann and Steve

I’ve been so happy to find Dr. James and his True Life staff. After spending the last year with two different doctors trying to optimize my thyroid, I finally switched to Dr. James and within a few months my thyroid was optimal. The staff is amazing and always available to answer my questions through the Spruce app. Dr. James is very thorough and I never feel rushed. I finally have a doctor that will listen to me and includes me in my patient plan. I highly recommend Dr. James for anyone working on a thyroid or adrenal issue.

I have had a 10 year journey with deteriorating health issues. Visits with many traditional medical doctors had yielded no results as there seemed to always be a quick “guessed at” diagnosis, then being handed a script for yet another pill that made me feel worse. My frustration was to the point of hopelessness and many times I just wanted to give up. I had recently moved to Colorado Springs and was doing research trying to find a Functional doctor or nurse. I received a referral to make an appointment with Dr. James and his clinic. Thank goodness! I am early in the process and would not want to bore you with my very long list of illnesses but suffice it to say I am not an easy case. Their caring attitude alone was enough for me to know I had landed in the right hands. The thorough testing and an individual plan to work on my health through food, exercise, supplements and giving me the tools to educate myself have already helped show improvement. I still have a long way to go but now I know I can continue to make progress with their continued support and help. I no longer feel hopeless, helpless or want to give up. The entire team at True Life Medicine is wonderful to work with. Their positive and caring attitudes are infectious. For the first time in my life I actually LIKE going to the doctor. I always leave optimistic and confident in the plan we put together for the next step of my health.

At True Life Medicine we know the path to wholeness looks different for every person. Our goal is simpleWhat does true life mean to you? These health markers are different for everybody. 

EXAMPLES: Getting off of cholesterol medication, being able to hike 14ers with no knee pain, being able to go down stairs with no knee pain!, finding natural ways to help your child with ADD, the list goes on.

Traditional medical practices focus on finding the magic pill for your ill.

Our Functional medicine practice focuses on getting to the root cause of your health issue and working with your body to reach wholeness.
