At Balanced Thistle, you’ll find evidence-informed acupuncture, functional medicine, and holistic beauty care. We specialize in fertility support, hormones, menopause, and whole-body balance.
About Us
We’re just a bunch of women who want to help. Really. We’re clinicians, moms, wives, foodies, a little obsessed with coffee and tea, lovers of Colorado sunshine... You get the idea.
At it’s root, Balanced Thistle is a Fort Collins Acupuncture clinic. But what we learned from years of working in healthcare is that while nothing is simple, sometimes it is! We pride ourselves on listening to your concerns and helping you come up with an achievable and sustainable plan for your health and beauty goals. You heard us right- achievable and sustainable. Health AND beauty. Because in our minds, those two things are pretty dang connected. When we look good, we feel good! So while the bulk of what we focus on is hormone health for men and women, please bring us your acne, your headaches, your stress, your sleep, and your “blah” or “meh.”
Who and What We Treat
Chinese Medicine is whole body medicine. What does that mean? Mind, body, spirit, soul. At Balanced Thistle we blend ancient, tried and true medicinal methods with more modern techniques and evidence based research to approach your individual concerns with customized precision.
The backbone of this clinic is acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. But we bring in modern essential tools including functional medicine, advanced lab testing, specialized nutrition, and heart-centric practitioners.
When is the Balanced Thistle team right for you? If you are struggling with concerns such as infertility (male or female), painful or irregular cycles, PCOS/PMOS, endometriosis, perimenopause, menopause, pregnancy discomfort, postpartum recovery, or going through IVF or IUI, or experiencing headaches, stress, insomnia, anxiety, etc- then come meet us! We love helping people, truly, it makes us happy right down to our bones.
Our Wild Side- Beauty
When you’ve worked in women’s health as long as we have, one thing becomes pretty clear- the beauty industry can be pretty tough on our hormones and sometimes even a bit tough on our confidence. It’s our goal to help our patients feel as confident as possible in their skin- no matter their age or current beauty routine!
Our beauty menu is clean, injection free, and health oriented- but we don’t sacrifice results. Our team has unparalleled training in each of the services we offer and we have traveled far and wide to continuously expand our knowledge and skill. We’ve brought the best of beauty from NYC, L.A., and even the U.K. with Facial Acupuncture, Facial Sculpting, Gua Sha, and Microchanneling.
You can opt into our services instead of injections and fillers, or alongside injections and fillers. Call the clinic to chat with us about when to book our services in alignment with your injection treatments.
