Founded by long-time health advocates and staffed by caring veterans of the functional medicine world, Elevate Health is determined to give everyone access to holistic, preventative, and tailor-made healthcare.
We, as doctors, are here to help those under our care address root causes of their health concerns in order to restore and optimize their health.
We believe that people who enjoy optimal health are better able to enjoy wholesome relationships. They are better parents, spouses, employees and even citizens. Therefore, by helping to restore optimal health we are helping improve the world around us.
After gathering data (by spending more time and obtaining more comprehensive labs) we come up with an individualized plan to systematically restore and optimize health. We then continue to re-measure and adjust our plan over time.
Julie’s personal health journey began with a challenging diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2003. As a single mother in her early thirties, she struggled with her health for over a decade under traditional Western medical treatments. It wasn’t until she discovered Functional Medicine that she identified the root causes of her autoimmune condition. Through lifestyle modifications and Functional Medicine principles, Julie was able to completely reverse her symptoms and stop all her medications, reclaiming a vibrant and full life.
With her health restored, Julie dedicated herself to helping others achieve similar transformations. She became a certified coach in 2017 and founded Julie Michelson Coaching to guide clients towards beneficial lifestyle changes. Her collaboration with Dr. Howton and subsequent certifications, including a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach in 2019 and a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach in 2020, have equipped her with extensive knowledge and tools to support her clients effectively. Committed to ongoing education, Julie became a RECODE 2.0 Certified coach in 2022, focusing on cognitive decline challenges. She also created Inspired Living with Autoimmunity® and RA the Right Way®, programs designed to help others restore their health and vitality.
Julie was named the 2023 Wellness Coach of the Year by Best Holistic Life Magazine. She is also an international speaker, best-selling author, and host of the Inspired Living with Autoimmunity® Podcast.

Hi! I’m Shandra, and I’ve been with Elevate Health since April 2020. Working here has been awesome because I’ve learned a lot and made some great friends.
When I’m not at work, I love hanging out with my family and playing with my dogs. Spring is my favorite time of year because everything starts to bloom and it feels like a fresh start. I’m from a really small town where my whole graduating class was just 19 people, so I really value close friendships.
One thing I can’t resist? Cold Stone Ice Cream. It’s my little treat. Mixing work, family time, and small joys keeps me happy and thankful every day.
Hi, my name is Lindsey. Since 2015, I’ve been living in Loveland, Colorado with my husband and our four amazing children, having moved from Arizona, after originally being from Chicago, Illinois.
I joined Elevate Health in July 2019, and it has become my second home. When I’m not with my family, there’s no place I’d rather be than at Elevate Health.
My leisure time is devoted to outdoor activities with my family. Colorado’s endless outdoor opportunities, regardless of the season, are what I love most about living here. From hiking and paddle boarding to fishing and enjoying the snow, the beauty of Colorado never ceases to amaze me.
