From free lunch programs for frontline hospital workers to bright murals
depicting health care heroes, Denver’s appreciation for medical professionals has perhaps never been more palpable. And although 5280 has been publishing lists of the metro area’s best physicians and dentists for years, the task took on a special significance for us in 2020, too, against the backdrop of the fight against COVID-19. In previous issues, the names in our “Top Doctors” feature (page 38) may have felt a bit abstract. Now, skimming the honorees in the emergency medicine section conjures images of exhausted physicians triaging coughing patients; the obstetrics category brings to mind babies being delivered by mothers in masks; and it’s not difficult to imagine the flood of desperate phone calls to psychiatrists from people reeling from the mental health toll the pandemic has wrought. Likewise, the 900-plus winners in “Top Dentists” (page 48) aren’t just the men and women who fill your cavities; they’re small-business owners who gave up months of income by shutting down to slow the spread and preserve personal protective equipment for those who needed it most.
In light of their sacrifices over the past 10 months, we’re prouder than ever to dedicate many of the following pages to our region’s most respected, trusted, and innovative medical professionals. We’re also excited to bring you stories about how locals in various fields have risen to meet the challenges pre-sented by COVID-19 (see “House Calls” on page 12 to learn why telehealth might be here to stay and “Safety By Design” on page 18 for tips to help steel your workplace against the novel coronavirus).
With the pandemic still dominating the news cycle and our daily lives, however, for many of us the ability to stay well feels out of our control. That’s why we devoted our cover feature to a hugely important aspect of your health that is firmly within your power to change: your diet. About half of all American adults have preventable chronic diseases (including cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes), and increasingly, Colorado physicians and health care systems are turning to what’s on the dinner table to treat them. In “Food Rx” (page 29), we translate the science behind this movement into actions you can take to make short- and long-term positive impacts on your and your family’s health. Kind of like staying home to flatten the curve, these are changes that just might have the dual benefit of keeping us as individuals safe while simultaneously contributing to building a healthier society—which is something we would all love to see in 2021.
KIM HABICHTAn admittedly “doctor-averse”
individual, writer Kim Habicht had a personal interest in exploring the
expanded applications—from dermatology to dentistry—
telehealth has found during the pandemic for “House Calls”
(page 12). “Realizing I can make an appointment and see
a doctor without ever having to leave my bedroom?” Habicht says.
“That’s game-changing to me.”
SHANE MONAGHAN
To report “Sage Advice ” (page 96), writer Shane Monaghan spoke with
a variety of local celebrities about the unusual things—Brazilian
dance-fighting, buying Crocs—they did to stay mentally healthy during 2020’s turmoil. In comparison, his
quarantine coping mechanism was slightly more familiar. “It was
so nice to just run in whatever direction and as far as I wanted
some nights,” Monaghan says.
CALEB SANTIAGO ALVARADO“Above all, my work is about
empowerment,” says photographer Caleb Santiago Alverado.
Capturing Travis Plakke for “The Full Spectrum” (page 20), then, was an
ideal assignment. “I am fascinated,” Alverado says, “by how people connect, exchange, and create
community”—which is exactly what Plakke does as a member of Firefly
Autism’s board who himself was diagnosed with autism as an adult.

PULSEPark DaysInside Denver’s first K–5 outdoor classroom.
When people hear about Worldmind School, they often go straight to the elements: What do you do in the winter? “I’m like, We’re outside,” says Worldmind founder Megan Pat-terson. A stint teaching in an Alaska Native village helped her realize that with the right gear, kids can—and gladly will—spend hours in nature’s classroom, even when temps drop into the teens. Worldmind’s outdoor education program, which expanded from preschool and kindergarten to include grades one through five this past fall, aims to prove why that’s a good thing for growing bodies and minds. After packing up at their home base, a mansion on Williams Street, the 32 K–5 children (annual tuition: $15,500) bike a half-mile in groups to City Park. There, Worldmind’s four teachers might ask students, who have tablets for research and to record work, to draw seeds they collect or make graphs documenting how many people they see running versus playing tennis. “Parents say they can’t believe the increase in confidence, self-esteem, and coordi-nation,” Patterson says. But the fact that enrollment doubled when Den-ver Public Schools announced it was going remote may have had more to do with parents’ concerns about physical health. COVID-19 is known to be much less transmittable in open-air settings, and if this year is like the last, that’s where Worldmind’s kids will be: In 2019-’20, they only spent two full days indoors. —Jessica LaRusso
Not too long ago, Beverly Grant visited a yoga studio in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver. “I immediately got pissed going in there, with the way I was received,” Grant says. “The way they were looking at me.” To Grant, the message was clear: The Front Range yoga community was white. At best, she was different; at worst, she was unwelcome.
Lakshmi Nair knows the feeling all too well. After moving to Denver in 2004, the veteran yoga instructor spent a decade searching for a studio where she felt comfortable. “I didn’t see a lot of people of color teaching yoga,” Nair says. “Not even practicing.” So, in 2018, Nair started Satya Yoga Cooperative, a Denver-based network of teachers focused on healing Black and brown bodies and minds. The group hosts lessons for those looking to practice but also organizes teacher trainings—the hope being that greater diversity among instructors will draw more people of color to yoga. “You want to learn from someone you think could understand, right?” Nair says.
Students find more than a sense of belonging through Satya. Nair’s background is in South Asian yoga, a more traditional practice than its physical-fitness-focused Westernized offshoot. Alternatively, Satya teach-ers place more emphasis on breath work, meditation, and gentle postures in order to heal students’ bodies and spirits. By slowly homing in on different parts of the body, Grant says, people can release trauma manifesting itself through physiological tension.
That’s how Grant found peace following the most devastating ordeal of her life: her youngest son’s murder in 2018. Afterward, pain became a constant. “I just kept going to sleep and waking up and thinking, This shit ain’t going away,” Grant says. The month before her son’s death, Grant had become a Satya instructor, and eventually, she turned to that community for support. Every yoga sequence she completed under her colleagues’ guidance helped her work through a bit more of her heartbreak. “Mentally, I could organize,” Grant says. “Physically, I could feel a little relief in my back, neck, and core.”
Satya Yoga Cooperative’s
approach, which focuses
on gentle postures and breath work,
helped Beverly Grant heal after her
son’s death.
Changing The Flow
Satya’s approach is espe-cially beneficial for people of color, Grant says, who often battle both their own individual sorrows and angst emanating from the effects of systemic racism. Research from 2018 reveals that perceptions of discrimina-tion lead to higher rates of “uncontrollable hyperarousal, feelings of alienation, worries about future negative events, and perceiving others as dan-gerous.” “Every Black person has some intergenerational trauma,” Grant says.
One way to build greater equity in the Front Range yoga scene, Grant says, would be for more white-owned studios to invite Satya, which doesn’t have a permanent home, to use their spaces. Satya currently has an alliance with Guided by Hu-manity, a nonprofit studio in Englewood, but its partner-ship with Better Buzz Yoga is on pause during the pan-demic. “Access to resources is a problem that plagues communities of color,” Grant says. Although Satya’s classes have been moved online due to COVID-19, Grant says its outreach is more important than ever: “At this time when we’re living with lots of civil unrest and racial discourse, yoga is absolutely something that is needed.”

TELEMEDICINE
House Calls
In mid-March, when Gov-ernor Jared Polis suspended elective surgeries and non-emergency medical procedures to slow the spread of CO-VID-19, doctors weren’t sure how they’d treat routine patients—those with common colds or, say, pimply teenagers. “The truth was that nobody had a great road map for some-thing like this because it was really unexpected,” says Ari Melmed, medical director of Kaiser Permanente’s telehealth services in Colorado. Soon, though, Kaiser docs were see-ing 90 percent of patients via a computer screen, up from about 10 percent before the pandemic, and many people actually seemed to enjoy the virtual experience more than the IRL version. (Turns out waiting for a tardy doctor isn’t so aggravating if you’re doing it from your own couch.) Here, we outline how telemed helped three specialties treat patients during the pandemic and why Zoom is the exam room of the future. —KIM HABICHT
DENTISTRY
Denver Health’s virtual dentistry program—through which physicians provide hygiene consultations and oral care education—became much more popular during COVID-19, with up to 32 percent of patients seizing the opportunity to dial their dentists. Practitioners like Dr. Duane Mata assess oral health via video chat while still delivering the sugar shame kids have dreaded for generations: Mata asks children to show him their pan-tries and fridges to make sure they aren’t lying about how much junk
food they’re ingesting. Based on his observations, Mata can sometimes tell patients if they are in need of an in-person cleaning or filling.
DERMATOLOGY
Colorado Center for Dermatology & Skin Surgery added a telehealth arm to its practice and asked patients to send close-up smartphone photos of blemishes before video appoint-ments (webcams aren’t high definition enough to capture the subtle scales of a psoriasis patch). This allowed its five physicians to treat conditions such as acne, eczema, and rosacea virtually. Medical director Dr. Matthew Mahlberg expects to return
to mostly in-person visits after the pandemic. But telehealth might be a convenient long-term remedy for more pedantic to-dos like collecting pregnancy test results before pre-scribing women Accutane, a cystic acne medicine that is unsafe to take during pregnancy; the urinalyses had to be performed at the doctor’s office or at an outpatient laboratory facility until the organization over-seeing Accutane regulations relaxed them during COVID-19.
URGENT CARE
Before March, UCHealth’s virtual urgent care program saw about 10 to 20 patients a day. By April,
demand had skyrocketed and the team was treating 70 or more per shift, handling a variety of ailments—from rashes to urinary tract infec-tions—helping to reduce the number of people in emergency rooms. “It served as a virtual triage center,” UCHealth’s Dr. Kelly Eichhorn says. “If someone cut their finger, they could show us and we could tell them if they needed sutures.” If a patient did need stitches, the virtual care provider would point them to the nearest urgent care center. Not only did the virtual center save patients trips to the clinic, but in many cases, it saved them from a pricey bill— online visits were capped at $49.

SECOND SKIN
Company: Cipher Skin, est. 2017Find It: cipherskin.com
Firm Profile: This Denver data technology startup designs tools for physical therapists and trainers (and their athletes) who need precise biometric information to aid in injury recovery and high-level physical training.
Breakout Product: The smart com-pression BioSleeve ($200 activation fee plus a $100 per month subscrip-tion that includes the hardware and data analysis) allows real-time 3D visualization of the body’s complex motions and biometrics.
In Layman’s Terms: Using biosensors, the sleeve captures data as you move through an exercise—say, extending your arm above your head—including things like range of motion, force pro-duction, and oxygen saturation. That info can help a physical therapist de-termine how your recovery is coming along after an injury or allow a trainer to correct your form remotely.
What’s Next: Cipher Skin’s biosensor-laden mesh works on almost anything cylindrical. The company is develop-ing a leg sleeve (prototype due early 2021) and an athletic shirt (2022) with similar capabilities to the BioSleeve, but co-founder Phillip Bogdanovich says the tech, which has already been used on oil pipelines, could also moni-tor things like aircraft components.

MASKING THE PAIN
Company: Sana, est. 2017Find It: sana.io
Firm Profile: Based in Lafayette, Sana has developed a direct-to-consumer wearable—classified by the FDA as a wellness device—that ultimately aims to change the way we treat chronic pain (in particular, by helping people avoid opioids).
Breakout Product: The Sana mask ($99 per month for an 18-month subscription), an over-the-eyes-and-ears device that uses patterns of audio-visual stimulation to induce healthy relaxation, can help build neuroplasticity (the ability of neural networks in the brain to grow and
reorganize) and overwrite existing pain pathways.
In Layman’s Terms: Using coordinated pulses of amber light and sound during 16-minute sessions, the device lulls the wearer into a deep meditative state, fre-quently promoting sleep. “When you’re in pain, you often can’t sleep,” says Sana’s Paula Searcy. “When you can’t sleep, you can’t heal, and when you can’t heal, you can experience depression.”
Who It’s Good For: A car crash left Sana founder Richard Hanbury with chronic nerve damage. He created the device to help with lasting pain relief; however, the mask could im-prove quality of life for anyone who has difficulty sleeping.

Company: BioIntelliSense, est. 2018Find It: biointellisense.com
Firm Profile: From its headquarters in Golden, this medical-grade device company develops tech for the continuous monitoring of vital signs, physiological biometrics, and symptomatic events.
Breakout Product: In January 2020, BioIntelliSense debuted the BioSticker (pictured), the world’s first device that can be put on like a Band-Aid and remotely monitor a patient’s vital signs with the same accuracy as traditional tools in the intensive care unit. When COVID-19 came along, the company fast-tracked the development of the BioButton, a little brother device it rolled out in May that watches for signs of infection, like elevated body temperature. (Both are sold primarily business-to-business, at undisclosed rates.)
In Layman’s Terms: The BioSticker and the BioButton are single-use devices that adhere to the skin and use biosensors to measure things like respiratory rate, heart rate at rest, and temperature. “The BioSticker is more advanced and allows doctors and nurses to let, say, a surgery pa-
tient leave the hospital more quickly knowing they can accurately monitor for complications remotely,” says Bio-IntelliSense founder Dr. James Mault. “The BioButton was designed in the COVID-19 era to allow people to get back together in one place. Universi-ties, conferences, and employers are buying it so they can have their students or workers screened before returning to campus or to the office.”
Other Applications: The BioButton can also be used for contact trac-ing should a wearer test positive for COVID-19. Although the but-tons don’t track your location, they do “talk” to other nearby buttons, meaning if everyone at a business conference is wearing a BioButton and someone gets sick, cloud-based analytics can determine which wearers came into close con-tact with the infected person.

5280 Health: In the 19th century, surgeons went from battlefield butchers to respected physicians. What happened? Dr. David Schneider: Prior to the 1870s, no one believed in germs. You believed in bad air. Maybe it’s the planets. Maybe the gods. Then researchers proved bacteria are real, and Joseph Lister— probably the most important guy in the history of surgery—comes up with the idea of washing your hands before operating, which accomplished the unthinkable: that you could do surgery in the abdominal cavity.
So surgeons could suddenly op-erate in a sterile environment?Exactly. You had these battlefield injuries where someone was stabbed in the guts, which you cannot survive if a surgeon can’t get in there, wash it out, close up the puncture, and get all the poop out [without leav-ing outside bacteria behind]. For the nonmedical person it’s tough to conceive: You have this long tube running from your mouth to your anus, and it’s filled with bacteria. Outside of that, it’s completely sterile. There’s not a single bacteria outside of the tube. If you’re stabbed, all that bacteria in the poop is in that
cavity, and you will die. Always. And it will take two or three days. You’ll wish you were dead.
Fast-forward to today. You write that Americans are part of an uncontrolled experiment when it comes to joint implants. How so?Unfortunately, the United States has been very slow to do true outcome research, what we call registries. If Scandinavians have a joint replaced, 100 percent of those people are then followed longitudinally to see how they fare. What that does is give us an idea to see, Wait, we shouldn’t try this type of implant on someone who has
such and such disease. I’ve made surgeons mad at me, I’ve made hospitals mad at me, the device manufacturers are mad at me, in-surance companies are mad at me, probably people in the govern-ment are mad at me. But all five of these groups should be interested in coming together and tracking patients. It would be costly, but it’s the right thing. You have a better idea of how a muffler is going to do on a Nissan Sentra than how a total shoulder implant is going to do in a human.
The future of implants, espe-cially brain implants, sounds like science fiction. Already, doctors can insert a six- to seven-inch needle into the brains of Parkinson’s disease patients and, by turning on a low level of current—it’s called deep brain stimulation (DBS)—almost completely make their bodies stop shaking. In Denver, we have one of the busiest DBS surgeons in the world, Dr. David VanSickle. He can turn off someone’s Par-kinson’s by aiming for a one-by-one-millimeter spot in their brains.
That sounds like great news. So why did you write that “Homo electrus mostly freaks me out?” Because in the future, your iPhone is going to be in your brain. We’re going to be able to communicate with each other via Bluetooth when we’re not even talking. Your lips aren’t moving. If you and I are in the same room, we’ll just be thinking to each other. Doesn’t that freak you out a little bit?

Years ago, Dr. David Schneider was driving to the hospital, where a woman who’d suffered a grue-some foot injury—a bone was protruding from her ankle—awaited his scalpel. The Denver orthopedic surgeon was preparing himself to deliver dreadful news. She’d be lucky to keep the leg. But before he could, the patient relayed her own demands: I want to play softball this summer; I want my leg to work perfectly; and I don’t want to see scars. Schneider made all three wishes come true. The incident, however, spurred him to tell his assistant that no one appreciated how far surgery had come. “She said, ‘You should write a book,’ ” recalls Schneider, now 54. So he did. The Invention of Surgery was published in March 2020 and drew acclaim from the Wall Street Journal—and criticism from his industry. Recently, we spoke with Schneider to get the bloody truth behind surgery’s milestones. —SPENCER CAMPBELL

PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGESchneider’s top tips
for ensuring your implant
surgery doesn’t kill you.
1. Find a surgeon who specializes in the procedure you need. (You wouldn’t hire a plumber to fix your roof, would you?)
2. Ask your doctor where he or she performs surgery and check that hospital’s outcomes (such as longevity, percentage of the time particular operations have to be redone, and infection rates).
3. Access other countries’ registries to research the performance of the implant model your surgeon plans to use.

How a Colorado nonprofit reimagined its new office to stymie COVID-19.
This past March, about a week before Healthier Colorado was set to sign a lease for its Colorado’s Health Capitol project (a joint space for wellness nonprofits intended to spark collaboration through proximity), COVID-19 shuttered offices across
the country. “We had to ask ourselves: Is this the best time to bring people together indoors?” says Jake Williams, executive director of Healthier Colorado, which advocates for anything that boosts the well-being of Coloradans. “We decided we
could design a space that keeps people safe.” At press time, Colorado’s Health Capitol was slated to launch in December—welcoming tenants such as the Bell Policy Center and One Colorado—and as more offices begin to reopen in 2021, we
asked Williams to walk us through the design elements intended to keep the facility pandemic-resistant. —SC
1. Hustle & Flow Require masks at all times and implement a physi-cal design that spaces people at least six feet apart and generally avoids unanticipated close contact. Provide multiple pathways and indicate designated walking directions down corridors so people don’t meet face to face.
2. Get Some Air Make sure your ventila-tion system meets Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Not only does this help with disease transmission, but it will also make your employees happy come allergy season.
3. Look But Don’t Touch Install foot pedals on doors—especially bathroom doors. Also, push or lever handles permit workers to use, say, their backs or elbows and are less germy than traditional doorknobs.
4. Teamwork Makes The Clean Work Enforce a standing policy that all common surfaces are cleaned regularly. Make it man-datory, for example, for employees to wipe down the conference room table—using a provided spray bottle and paper towels—when they’re done using it.
5. Put Your Hand Sanitizers Where I Can See Them Create sanitation stations to encourage frequent hand cleansing. (Colo-rado’s Health Capitol’s design calls for 20.) Think of places where it would be ideal to disinfect, like before entering and leaving common spaces.

and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the authoritative handbook for health professionals in the United States, in 1980. Because the world’s understanding of autism is still emerging, much of the research since then has centered on children and early intervention, meaning adults with autism have been largely overlooked. However, in May 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that nearly 5.5 million American adults—or 2.21 percent of the country’s population, a significantly higher proportion of which are men—are on the autism spectrum. An additional 50,000 or so adolescents with autism age into adulthood every year.
One local organization is hoping to bring more attention to this growing demographic. In late 2020, Firefly Autism, an autism treatment center in Lakewood, launched a program
to help adults with autism improve their social and emotional skill sets. “One of the biggest misconceptions out there…is that somehow children grow out of autism,” says executive
ravis Plakke doesn’t dawdle in the grocery store. There’s no perusing the aisles or bantering with the cashier. He aims to be in and out in 15 minutes. It’s not because Plakke has an aversion to picking out produce and canned goods. Rather, the space itself has a visceral effect on the 49-year-old: The flickering fluorescent lights are so distracting, he has to wear a hat pulled down low. When another shopper gets too close, Plakke’s skin begins to crawl, and his brain sometimes feels like it’s filled with static electricity. Just talking about the experience makes him sweaty and anxious.
“I always say, Do everything with intent. Everything I do, I’ve got a reason for. I’ve thought about it,” Plakke says. He applies this philosophy not just to the prosaic act of buying food, but to his entire life. It wasn’t until about seven years ago, however, that Plakke understood why his mind worked that way. That was when he was officially diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
Although autism has become more widely discussed in recent years, the term was only included in the Diagnostic
The Full SpectrumNo one grows out of autism, but adults have often been
left behind when it comes to treatment, services, and funding.
Lakewood’s Firefly Autism wants to change that.

director and CEO Jesse Ogas. “The fact of the matter is that when you have autism, you have autism for life.”
THE REMNANTS OF AN EARLY season snow-storm melt from the trees outside of Firefly Autism’s two-tone brick exterior. On this September morning, children from 18 months to 21 years old are working with board-certified behavioral analysts and technicians—younger stu-dents on the ground floor, older students on the second. (The nonprofit moved into the retrofitted former school in late June.) Soon, the building will hum on some evenings too. Firefly’s Adult Social Groups program, which is designed to serve individuals 18 and older with high-functioning autism, will take over the education and research wing for an hour one night a week.
Autism spectrum disorder is a neuro-logical and developmental disorder that presents early in childhood; it is referred to as a spectrum disorder because of the wide range of symptoms people experi-ence, from severe verbal impairments and potentially aggressive behaviors (defined as Level 3) to atypical social skills requiring minimal support (Level 1). It’s common for adults with Level 1 autism to struggle with communication and social interac-tions; to become hyper-focused on specific topics or routines; and to experience sen-sory sensitivities. These indicators can be minor, or adults may have learned to adapt and cope with any so-called differ-ences over the years, making diagnoses at older ages more difficult. As a result, ser-vices and treatments to help this population have been severely lacking. “Many autistic adults…probably slipped through the net because they weren’t as easily identifiable,” says Wenn Lawson, a psychologist and world-renowned adult autism expert based in Australia.
Firefly’s program is debuting with a focus on individuals who are considered high-functioning—they are able to com-municate and may be in school or working full time but could still benefit from, for example, learning how to more successfully integrate into an office setting or strike up conversations with strangers. The weekly meetings focus on goal setting, social and emotional skills development, and practical tools like job readiness—all based around each person’s ambitions. “There are a lot of individuals who are suffering and a lot of caregivers who are suffering because they don’t really have anywhere to turn when

their children become adults and those pieces are still problematic,” says Amanda Kelly, who conceived of and is leading the Adult Social Groups program in her role as director of clinical services at Firefly.
Initiatives like this are sparse not just because few providers are trained to work specifically with adults, but also for bureau-cratic reasons: Funding is aimed at youth, and insurance companies rarely cover ser-vices for people with autism over the age of 21, particularly if their autism is less severe. (For now, Firefly is charging $10 per ses-sion to cover basic costs, and Kelly hopes the nonprofit will eventually secure grants to help the program expand to serve adults across the spectrum.)
Research on the efficacy of these sorts of interventions is limited. A U.S. Govern-ment Accountability Office report found that between 2008 and 2012, only one percent of more than $200 million in fed-eral research funding for autism focused on adulthood. Yet the need for adult treat-ment seems to be growing, as improved awareness and better testing methods are helping more adults put a name to their experiences. In fact, Firefly recently launched a diagnostic center for
children and adults to help identify the very people who could benefit from its services. ON A FALL EVENING, Kelly met with a handful of adults (all wore masks and com-pleted health checks prior to the session) ranging from 20 years old to their early 40s on Firefly’s second floor. They likely joined the Adult Social Groups program in the hopes of, say, improving their job inter-view skills or figuring out how to navigate a first date or developing tools to help them become less rigid in their routines. “Some of the primary concerns [are] more complex social interactions—really having an under-standing of the perspectives and motivations of others and knowing what is socially appropriate versus not,” Kelly says. Her goal is to help teach participants adaptive alter-native skills, or more constructive means of responding to their specific struggles.
Also at the core of efforts like Firefly’s is a mission to foster community and build peer groups. Research shows that nearly 70 percent of individuals with autism have at least one co-occurring mental health con-cern, such as depression or anxiety. These can lead to an increase in suicidal ide-ation and self-injury, disrupt sleep, cause a person to isolate himself, and generally reduce quality of life. Strong relationships can help counter some of these troubling effects. “Once my autism was understood and I began to connect to others, then it was like I found my tribe, I found my com-munity,” says Lawson, who was diagnosed with autism at age 42. “I came home.”
Plakke, who works in commercial real estate and is on Firefly’s board, had a similar experience. “Understanding that, This is how I think, this is what I’m working with, has really allowed me to come into my own,” Plakke says. He hopes Firefly’s Adult Social Groups program will foster the same kind of outcomes for its participants. “We’re not trying to change anybody. We’re trying to give tools,” he says. “The biggest thing is knowing there’s a community out there—there are other people out there like you.”

FOOD A growing number of physicians are prescribing nutritious foods to heal their patients. But lowering cholesterol and boosting heart health is more complicated than simply eating an apple a day. That’s why we asked Colorado doctors, nutritionists, and other health care providers to guide us through the latest advancement in medicine: your diet.

t some point in your life, a doctor has prob-ably advised you that to “be healthier” you should eat more veggies. Swap sweets for fruit. Drink less soda. While you may have believed her (and even had the best of in-
tentions to improve your dietary habits), such vague missives aren’t exactly motivating. What if she told you, however, that trading your weekly burger for a grilled chicken breast could dramatically reduce your pharmacy bill—and even add years to your life?
That’s exactly the message coming from piles of research showing that food is a central element in preventing, or even reversing, chronic disease. “I tell my patients every day: What we eat is a huge factor in our health,” says Dr. Marc Cornier, who teaches within the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and does clinical work through UCHealth at CU Anschutz Medical Campus. “I’ve seen diabetes go away as a result of healthful eating and weight loss. I had a patient who completely changed his diet—he didn’t want to take prescription medica-tion—and lowered his cholesterol by 40 percent, which is what you might see from a statin [drug].”
Uncovering the power of nutrition to transform health has pushed the use of food as a first-line
therapy—before pills and procedures for some patients—from a fringe idea to a more mainstream tenet of health care. It’s also driving a philosophical shift, as health care systems consider using nutrition to intercede in patients’ lives before they get sick. For example, this month Lutheran Medical Center (part of SCL Health) is launching an initiative called Healthy U for patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, who are also food-insecure. The 12-week program will provide food for patients and their families, virtual cooking lessons, nutrition education, and weekly biometric screenings. “At one time, [addressing health] was just about controlling or treating disease,” says Chuck Ault, Lutheran Medical Center’s regional director of community health improvement. “But now, we’re intervening further upstream with the hope of keep-ing patients out of our hospitals.”
As scientists and physicians continue to explore the possibilities of food as medicine, don’t be sur-prised if your doctor is quicker to review your grocery list than to write you a prescription. Or, better yet, don’t wait that long: For the stories on the following pages, we’ve tapped local experts to learn exactly how you can eat your way to a longer, happier life, starting with what’s for supper tonight. —HMO

of the American

ON THE MENUFrom the doctor’s orders to your dinner plate, here’s how to translate the science
of eating well into actual (delicious) meals.
It’s one thing to know you should eat to protect your health. It’s another thing to choose, buy, and cook the good stuff. That’s where the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center at the Anschutz Medical Campus comes in: The interdisciplinary center offers all kinds of programs (fitness, weight loss, mind-body therapy, and even a series of dietician-led virtual cooking classes for $6 per lesson) for patients, people in the community, and medical professionals at Anschutz. But it’s up to registered dietician and manager of campus and community initiatives Lisa Wingrove to use the latest research about nu-trition to inform easy-to-execute meals and recipes. “We can’t assume that people just know how to prepare food that’s good for them and appealing to them,” she says. “We have to create a bridge from the science to the table.” Start with these five simple switches Wingrove recommends to get more nutritious bang for your grocery buck. —HMO
Doctor Says: Boost your brain health.
Skip: Steak
Serve: Salmon
The Science: “When we look at research about Alzheimer’s risk and about [ways to support] mental acuity, we see that omega-3 fatty acids are very important. They reduce inflammation in the brain,” Wingrove says. “And the good news is, it’s just as easy to grill salmon as it is to cook steak.”
Also Try: Walnuts, quinoa, or flaxseed
Doctor Says: Eat your veggies.
Skip: Your daily banana
Serve: Roasted vegeta-bles, such as asparagus and cherry tomatoes
The Science: It’s not that fruit is bad, of course; it’s just that Americans tend to grab the proverbial apple (or banana) a day because we think vegetables take too much time and effort to prepare. Not so, Wingrove says. Toss just about any mix of veg-gies in a bowl with olive oil, herbs, and spices (a tiny pinch of salt is OK, too) and cook at a high temperature (420 degrees or so) for seven to 10 minutes. “Antioxi-dants and phytonutrients in vegetables work at a cellular level to repair damage that happens as a natural result of metabolism,” Wingrove says, adding that this damage might also be tied to certain types of cancer and other illnesses.
Also Try: Sweet potato with cinnamon, carrots with a drizzle of honey, or cauliflower with fresh chopped garlic
Doctor Says: Your immune system seems weak.
Skip: The same ol’ flavorless dishes
Serve: Alliums, such as onions, garlic, and leeks
The Science: “There’s tons of research that strong immune function is tied to a widely varied microbiome”—that is, the microbes that live on and inside the human body, many of them in the gut, Wingrove says. “If our diet is bland and unvary-ing, our bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract are bland and unvarying. For the most benefit, you want diversity of flora, and alliums help keep that flora varied.”
Also Try: Scallions, shallots, or chives
Doctor Says: Have you thought about plant-based proteins?
Skip: Meat
Serve: Soy, such as tofu or edamame
The Science: “Red meat is a cause of inflamma-tion in the body, which is a leading cause of colon cancer. Plus, the fat in red meat is bad for cardiac health,” Wing-rove says. The Food and Drug Administration recommends 25 grams of soy protein per day to reduce blood choles-terol levels by about 12 percent, but Wingrove says that even if you only sub in one plant-based protein each week, “it replaces those bad fats with health-promoting fats.” The trick to prepping tofu is getting as much moisture as possible out by pressing it between a baking sheet and some-thing heavy (like cans of tomatoes) for an hour or more before marinat-ing and cooking.
Also Try: Lentils or chickpeas
Doctor Says: Reduce your sodium intake.
Skip: The saltshaker and processed foods—even healthy-sounding soups and broths—which tend to have high sodium contents
Serve: Herbs and spices
The Science: Too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. The good news is that there are plenty of other ways to flavor food. “I love Chinese five-spice pow-der on kale baked in the oven to make chips,” Wingrove says. “Be a little adventurous; you’ll be surprised by how many more flavors exist beyond saltiness.”
Also Try: Lemon and lime zest on fish or whole-grain mustard and Dijon as a mari-nade for chicken breasts
INFIRMITY WARSAs the owner of Superfood Bar—which serves fresh, organic smoothies, salads, soups, bowls,
and wraps in LoHi—Joseph Stone knows a thing or two about tapping into the heroic powers of so-called “superfoods.” So, we asked Denver’s Professor X to take us inside Superfood
Bar’s Pumpkin Patty Salad to reveal how its ingredients team up to defeat the forces of disease. —SC
PUMPKIN PATTY
The salad’s namesake consists of plenty of good stuff: red lentils, carrots, onion, celery, oats. But
pumpkin seeds—boasting significant amounts of copper, magnesium,
manganese, and phosphorus—are the alpha here, not only benefiting
your brain, but also potentially improving symptoms
associated with enlarged prostate glands.
SPROUTS
Sprouts “are the most powerful superfood
I’ve got,” Stone says. Particu-larly rich in fiber and vitamin C,
sprouts are good at regulating blood sugar, making them a staple for dia-betics. Plus, animal studies correlate
alfalfa extract with a reduction in LDL cholesterol and a boost in
high-density lipoprotein, or “good” cholesterol,
levels.
MIXED GREENS
Baby spinach, romaine, and Tuscan kale bring the roughage—
and a range of vitamins and minerals (like spinach’s lutein and zeaxanthin, which may help ward off age-related macular degeneration and cataracts).
Stone recommends chopping up greens and letting them sit for eight to
10 hours before serving. The cuts trigger a natural reaction that significantly
boosts the antioxidant count in the veggies.
AVOCADO
Research by the Ameri-can Heart Association has shown that one avocado a
day can lower your LDL (aka “bad”) cholesterol. Its monoun-
saturated fats also aid in the ability to absorb soluble vitamins from the rest of
the meal.

DRESSING
To ensure the concentration of antioxidants in the dressing (made of apple cider vinegar, tumeric, dates, and mustard) doesn’t plum-met over time, Stone transfers his dressings to smaller and smaller containers; the less oxygen, the less likely antioxidants are to escape.
CRUNCHING THE NUMBERSA Colorado physician lays out the stats that saved his life.
r. Larry Cohen had always eaten his vegetables—as long as they arrived on top of a burger. “And the tomato had to be in the form of ketchup,” says the emergency room physician at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central in Colorado Springs. Then, in 1999, five-foot-six Cohen hit 197 pounds. His vanity wounded, Cohen joined a gym, went on a
calorie-restricted diet, and lost 50 pounds. Nevertheless, a few years later Cohen began experiencing heart problems while training for a triathlon. A angiogram revealed arterial plaque, buildup that bypass surgery couldn’t completely clear. So, Cohen researched plaque-eradicating foods and adopted a whole-foods, plant-based diet with no added oils or fats and less than 10 percent of daily calories from fat. A year later, the blockage was gone. Convinced that food is the most powerful medicine in the world, in 2017 Cohen became one of the first Colorado doctors certified by the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine, which promotes healthy eating (plus other habits, like plenty of sleep and exercise) as a way to prevent and improve chronic disease. Now 67 and a svelte 137 pounds, Cohen broke down the numbers that really matter when it comes to food and your health. —JM

80%
Grams of fiber Cohen recommends ingesting daily. Highly concen-trated in whole-grain foods and legumes, fiber can lower mortality from not just cardiovascular disease but also from infectious and respi-ratory diseases, in part because certain gut bacteria feed on fiber and then produce short-chain fatty acids that actually help heal the gut and improve your immune system.
Poor diet’s rank among the major causes of death; it surpassed to-bacco use in 2017, according to research in the Lancet about the global burden of disease. The study showed that the problem is not just what people are eating (too much salt, fat, etc.), but also what people aren’t eating—not enough fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fiber from whole foods. “I’m not a big fan of telling people what they have to eat,” Cohen says, “but it’s really frustrating sometimes when we have this powerful tool for making people healthy.”
The share of chronic diseases—like high blood pressure, stroke, and heart disease—that can be prevented, and even reversed, by adhering to lifestyle medicine, according to Cohen.
The time, on the Sundays he’s not working, that Cohen leads Walk With A Doc at Cottonwood Creek Park in Colorado Springs. As part of the nationwide
program, Cohen strolls with anyone who wants to participate and answers their questions concerning lifestyle and health. Find a Walk With A Doc chapter

Servings of fruits and vegetables you should be eating every day. Fruits and vegetables provide fiber and also contain phytochemicals, vitamins, and antioxidants, Cohen says, that together have been shown to reduce the risk of some chronic diseases.
Weight
WatcherTHREE QUESTIONS
FOR THE MEDICAL
DIRECTOR OF THE
DENVER CENTER FOR
BARIATRIC SURGERY. —SC
5280 Health: How do I know if I really need to lose weight?Dr. Michael Snyder: The first thing I ask people who come to me is, Why? Is it societal standards or per-sonal health? If you’re just there because you need to be a Cherry Creek size zero, you’ve been manipulated by society. People who have real weight issues, their body mass index (BMI) is 35-plus. That’s important because the Journal of the American Medical Association says you can’t be fat and healthy. That doesn’t exist. Why not?Obesity is a disease of excess fat or adipose tissue storage, which is pro-inflammatory. Inflammation leads to hypertension, diabetes, cancer. Why cancer? Inflammation is a cornerstone of cancer development and progres-sion. Plus, cancer detection technology wasn’t designed for those with serious weight issues. Either way, obesity is going to kill you. What should people try before considering surgery?The Mediterranean diet [based on the traditional cuisines of countries like Greece and Italy and typi-cally heavy on vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, beans, and whole grains] is a very rational approach; no one is getting rich off it, and it’s the king of not vilifying food groups. Most people believe calories in and calories out equals weight loss and weight gain, but the genetic component is more important. People say my patients who get weight-loss surgery are lazy. No. They have done more than you have ever done to lose weight.

8:22–8:54 p.m.: 2 IPAs** *You’re generally eating consistently throughout the day and starting the day with breakfast. This is im-portant to regulate energy and appetite, helps reduce overeating, and allows you to be more intentional about your food choices. **Besides the added non-nutritive calories, alcohol is linked to a number of short- and long-term risks, including high blood pres-sure and various cancers. Moderate consumption is considered one drink per day for women and two for men, which you exceeded here.

They may be lower in calories, but that’s not al-ways equal to healthy; they tend to be highly processed and have high sugar alco-hol content, which can be hard on the gastrointestinal system. This also encourag-es eating a larger volume because “you can.”

7 p.m.: Grilled chicken breast, broccoli, rice, Halo Top mint chip mini pop *The recommendation is at least 50 percent of grains coming from whole-grain sources, which provide fiber for digestion and heart health in addition to antioxidants and other nutrients like iron, zinc, and magnesium. You’re not quite there, but it looks like you’re getting at least one serving per day most days.
THURSDAY
8:30 a.m.: Eggs, chicken sausage, whole-wheat toast with butter, orange juice, coffee

8–10:15 p.m.: IPA, brown ale, Junior Mints, witbier
*Most of your protein sources aren’t lean, meaning your intake of saturated fat—which is linked to increased choles-terol and lipid profiles—is pretty high. You should incorporate fish twice per week to get adequate omega-3s; they boost heart and brain health and reduce inflammation. ** You eat a lot of bars as quick snacks. They can be useful tools, but it is impor-tant to make good choices. Minimal-ingredient options such as RxBars or Lärabars are preferred, and it’s better to choose a bar (or any snack) that includes both carbs and protein, an important balance to achieve satiety and lasting energy—which should be the point of snacking.
FRIDAY
8 a.m.: Eggs, English muffin with butter and jam, coffee
1:30 p.m.: Ham sandwich, tortilla soup, Ritz crackers, Coca-Cola Zero, pretzels and peanut butter, plum,* chocolate chip cookie
7 p.m.: Barbecue (ribs and chicken), baked beans, french fries, chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, witbier
*Fruits and vegetables are critical sources of an-tioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. You’ve got a solid intake of the former, but the latter could be increased dramatically. (You’re consuming about a serving a day, and the recommendation is three.) A variety of fruits and veg-etables is important—eat the rainbow!—because the antioxidants found in the deep, dark pigments in their skins help protect your body from damage to cells, protein, and DNA that can occur as a result of stress and free radicals, the un-stable atoms that contribute to aging.
AN IPA A DAYA nutrition expert tells one hops-obsessed editor what she really thinks about his eating—and drinking—habits.
Ever wonder what a medical professional would say if you were actually honest about how many beers you had per week—or how few vegetables? To find out, I tracked my diet for a workweek and asked Shelby Cox, director of clinical services for Colorado State University’s Kendall Reagan Nutrition Center, to pass judg-ment on my consumption. She (perhaps too happily) obliged. —SC

SMART FOODSThree edibles that just might give your gray matter a boost.
erhaps chamomile tea calms you, or you’ve noticed that after you eat oysters, you feel happier. Once you start pay-ing attention, it’s not difficult to sense the connection between your stomach and your emotions. In fact, according to Boulder-based Stephanie Small, a licensed clinical social worker and nutritionist with a certificate in mental health nutrition and nutrition education, you may notice the changes almost immediately. “If you intentionally eat a certain way, you could alter your biochemistry and feel significantly different in one day,” Small says. One reason?
Something called the brain-gut connection: the bidirectional highway running between our central nervous system and our gastrointestinal tract that helps the two organs communicate with each other. Researchers are still exploring the possibilities (and limitations) of this nascent field of study, but they’ve identified a few foods, herbs, and spices that could help improve your mood, memory, and more—and definitely won’t hurt your cerebral processing power. —HBR
COLDWATER FISH MAY
CHEER YOU UP
Scientists have long known that depression is less common in coun-tries where people consume large quantities of fish, and it is now be-lieved that omega-3s are the root cause. These fatty acids are essen-tial building blocks for our brains, and a growing body of evidence suggests increased consumption can help fight off mental disorders like depression. (Note: Eating a tuna sandwich for lunch doesn’t mean you can ditch your antide-pressants. Consult your doctor before altering any medications.) Coldwater fish like salmon and sardines are high in omega-3s, but so are vegan-friendly options like flaxseed, walnuts, and seaweed.
PUMPKIN SEEDS COULD
MAKE YOU SMARTER
Both pumpkins and pumpkin seeds (pepitas) contain fiber, a nutrient
commonly associated with diges-tion and gut health. And thanks to the gut-brain axis, we know
that a high-fiber diet will increase butyrate in the colon. In turn, this
molecule improves our brain’s abil-ity to grow new cells, particularly in the hippocampus, which is the sec-tion responsible for learning. As a
bonus, pumpkin seeds also contain large amounts of zinc and magne-
sium (which support memory and learning) and copper (an energy
booster for the brain).
TURMERIC CAN IMPROVE
YOUR MEMORY
According to the Alzheimer’s As-sociation, more than five million Americans of all ages live with the devastating brain disease. While nothing indicates curcumin can cure Alzheimer’s, a 2018 study by the American Journal of Geriatric Psy-chiatry did find that 90 milligrams of the anti-inflammatory molecule twice daily can lead to improved memory and concentration. Tur-meric, a spice used for thousands of years in India and southeast Asia, boasts a high concentration—so, if you remember, toss a teaspoon or two into your smoothie.

Intermittent fasting (IF) might sound like the latest weight-loss trend—and it is. But emerging research reveals that restricting eating can also help treat everything from high blood pressure to aging. Here, Dr. Christine Maren, a Broomfield-based functional medicine physician, helps us translate a few promis-ing IF studies into easily digestible takeaways. —SC
Try It At
HomeINTERMITTENT FAST-
ING, THREE WAYS.*
1. Time-restricted feeding: For every 24-hour cycle, eat only during a desig-nated time period.
2. Alternate-day fasting: On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, consume only one meal that equates to 25 percent of your normal daily caloric intake. Eat normally on the other days.
3. 5:2 fasting: During a week, fast (some people incorporate a 400- to 500-calorie diet on their fast days) on two non-consecutive days and eat normally on the others. *A few caution flags from Maren: Most women should stick to time-restricted feeding, as whole-day fasting is tough on their hormones. Maren also doesn’t recommend fasting for pregnant women and those trying to conceive. People with hypoglycemia or people on medication to lower blood sugar should also avoid IF.
CELL SERVICE
Researchers, including a neuro- scientist from Johns Hopkins University, released a study in 2017 indicating that IF can counteract and improve outcomes for a spectrum of age-related disorders, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancers, as well as neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. The theory is that IF essentially mitigates the effects of getting older by bolstering the health of mitochondria (the power plants, or energy sources, of cells), DNA’s ability to repair itself, and au-tophagy (the process the body uses to flush out damaged cells to make space for new, healthier ones).
EAT EARLY, EAT SELDOM
For about a decade, scientists have known that IF results in better overall health. But they didn’t know if those health benefits were a direct result of fasting or a byproduct of weight loss. So, for a 2018 study published in Cell Metabolism, researchers plied pre-diabetic men with enough calories to ensure they didn’t lose weight—and found that IF still improved insulin levels, insulin sensitivity, immune response, blood pressure, and oxida-tive stress. The catch? The results were only present in practitioners of early time-restricted feeding. In this study, that meant patients ate from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and fasted for the next 18 hours. Mysteriously, shifting the intake period to after 4 p.m. has either no effect on health or seems to worsen it.
GUT FEELINGS
Suzanne Devkota, an assistant profes-sor of gastroenterology who has a lab named after her at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, is leading ongoing research into the impacts of IF on the gastrointestinal tract and gut micro-biome—all of the viruses, bacteria, protazoa, and fungi that take up residence in our bodies. People who regularly partake of a high-fat diet can suffer barrier disruption in the gut (es-sentially, bacteria can escape from the gastrointestinal tract into other parts of the body), causing inflammation that over the years can result in a predia-betic state. IF suppresses the bloom of harmful bacteria and promotes growth of bacteria that reinforce the barrier, according to Devkota’s research.

he only problem I have with dinner is that it comes every night. Every 24 hours, my husband and I have to prepare a meal that four people—including our two children, 11-year-old Hadley and eight-year-old Harrison—will eat. We typi-
cally serve a protein, a starch, and vegetables…and then take turns prompting the kids to eat “a few more bites.” This, of course, dissolves the magic of dinner conversation as they obediently but joylessly shove morsels of broccoli into their mouths before skipping away. I want them to be “good eaters,” but I wondered: Is there a better way?
According to the latest research and local experts, the answer is yes. “I look at this from two perspectives: What is the outcome of the nutrition that a child takes in? And, What’s the quality of the interaction at the dinner table and with the family?” says Dr. Matthew Haemer, a pediatrician at Children’s Hospital Colorado who specializes in nutrition. That interaction, he adds, should not include comments about food consumption—not even “one more bite.”
“Another way of thinking about ‘good eating’ is having good appetite awareness,” says Richard Boles, a pediatric psychologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado whose focus is child behavior related to nutrition. “That means a child eats because he’s feeling hungry and then stops when he’s no longer hungry.” When parents force bites, the child learns not to pay attention to internal cues and instead eats in response to external factors, which can lead to such things as overeating, “boredom eating,” and battles with parents for control. What parents should do is provide regular meal and snack times, offer a variety of high- nutrition foods, and expect kids to sit at the table. (If a
child refuses a whole food group for months or a parent has concerns about a child’s growth or development, it’s important to consult a medical professional.)
Armed with this info, I launched a one-week experi-ment: no commenting or encouraging. No bargaining for dessert, either, because research shows “rewarding” kids for eating healthful foods actually diminishes their appeal. On night one, Harrison announced, halfway through the meal, “I’m going to eat my peas.” My husband said, “Good idea,” and I gave him the side-eye. After telling some funny stories from school, our son said, “May I be excused? I ate 25 peas.” Ouch. I realized my “one more” requests over the years may have prompted my child to count his peas.
Later, on taco night, Harrison pushed his avocado aside. In response, I handed him a bowl of red peppers. He raised one eyebrow. “So you can choose!” I offered. (Per my sources, giving kids a choice of healthy foods is a good strategy.) He seemed to accept this as a win. Another evening, after mostly ignoring her chicken noodle soup, Hadley—buoyed, perhaps, by the strange new lack of ne-gotiation—tried, “Dessert?” Before, I would have told her she hadn’t eaten enough, but instead I just smiled: “Nope.” She nodded and wandered off to read a book.
The rest of the week progressed mostly the same way. The kids ate some of everything on their plates. Some nights they got a little dessert; others, they didn’t. The big-gest change was how relieved I felt. I had long thought that compelling those last little bites into my kids’ bellies was the right thing to do. Instead, all I have to do is provide good food and time for us to be together—and that is a delicious way to live. —HMO

Why didn’t you choose my doctor?
We don’t pick the docs—Denver physicians do. For the past 26 years, 5280 has surveyed doctors and asked them, specialty by specialty, which metro-area physicians they would trust to treat themselves and their families. Our theory is that med-ical professionals are best qualified to judge other medical professionals. The ballot is posted on 5280.com from the end of January to mid-March each year. Every metro-area doctor with a valid Colorado medical license can fill it out. Once the doctor hits “save,” the votes are entered into our database and tallied.
So doesn’t that make it one big popularity contest?
In some respects, yes. We hope that doctors give us careful, responsible answers, but there’s little we can do to stop them from recommending their skiing buddies. Using the list is a lot like going to your doctor and asking for a referral. The difference is that we’re asking a lot more doctors than you’d ever have the chance to. Also, by working to raise our return rate (it was 13 percent this year), we hope to cor-rect for politics. The more doctors who participate, the less chance that any one person’s aspirations will win out.
I thought my doc was a good physician, but she’s not on the list. What does that mean?
Nothing. She probably is a good doc-tor. The selection of doctors by peer review can leave many excellent doc-tors off the list. Because longtime, well-known doctors have the advan-tage of name recognition, the list may favor that kind of doctor. However, that in no way means your doctor isn’t qualified and completely competent.
I’m a doctor, and I couldn’t access the online ballot. Why?
We get the database of all licensed physicians in the state from the
Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies and select the doctors located in the seven metro-area counties (Denver, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Boulder, Adams, Douglas, and Jefferson), which results in a list of more than 11,200 docs.
If you attempted to log on to the system and received a pop-up response that said, “Login failed, please check your name and license number,” that means there is a dis-connect between your information and the information we have in the system. If you’ve recently moved to Colorado and haven’t updated your publicly available address with the Colorado Department of Regula-tory Agencies, for example, your license will not register as local and therefore will be invalid in our system. If you have registered your license at an address outside the seven metro-area counties, you will not be in our database. If you have a hard-to-spell last name or if you’ve recently changed your name, it’s possible the information we have from the state is incorrect and you will have trouble logging in.
In the future, if you have dif-ficulty logging in to our system, please use the “comment” tool on the ballot site and let us know. We’re happy to work through the problem so you can vote.
I’ve heard the list is rigged—that only doctors who advertise with 5280 make it. Is that true?
Nope. The Top Doctors list is completely unaffected by which doctors advertise in the magazine and/or on our website. Doctors sometimes choose to advertise after they’ve been chosen for the list, but how much or if and when doctors choose to advertise are not taken into consideration. Period.
How does 5280 choose the medical specialties on the list?
Through the years we’ve worked to improve Top Doctors by updating the categories, increasing the number of eligible voters, and considering sugges-tions from health care professionals. For the better part of two decades, our categories have included only special-ties approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties (although we do not include every ABMS specialty). This system for choosing categories eases confusion among doctors filling out the survey and reduces the amount of lobbying we get from doctors and hospitals that would like us to include more obscure specialties.
So why aren’t categories such as chiropractic and podiatry ever included in the list?
Although these areas of medicine are completely relevant, respectable, and necessary, our list is a physician-only (M.D.s and D.O.s) directory.
Does 5280 check out all the doctors on the list?
The magazine’s research department independently verifies every doctor’s name, phone number, office address, and hospital affiliations. We also take the additional step of sending our list to the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies for approval—meaning doctors on our list do not currently have disciplinary actions against their licenses and have not experienced a malpractice suit and/or settlement in at least five years.
The magazine sometimes chooses doctors to be profiled or to serve as sources for the accompanying story. How are they chosen?
5280 sometimes likes to introduce you to some of our Top Docs through profiles or by using them to explain different aspects of medicine. We believe this is a great way to show our readers that these physicians are not just names on a list. In choosing doc-tors to include, we do our best to vary the medical specialties represented and introduce you to doctors we have never included before. Of course, sometimes our stories involve doctors who are not on the list as well.
Who Decides? Frequently asked questions about the Top Doctors selection process.

This list is pulled from the 2020 topDentists database, which is created using peer evaluations and includes listings for more than 900 dentists and special-ists in Colorado. To create its list, topDentists asked dentists and specialists a personal question: “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer him or her to?” The nomination pool comprised all active den-tists listed online with the American Dental Association as well as with dental academies and societies. (Dentists could also nominate others who may not be on those lists.) Respondents were asked to consider experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies, and physical results. After the responses were compiled, dentists were checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have ac-tive licenses and are in good standing. We realize there are many fine dentists who are not on this list; a dentist’s inclusion is based on the subjective judg-ments of fellow dentists. For more information, visit usatopdentists.com.

For over 20 years we have been creating incredible smiles. We are experts at combining state-of-the-art technologies so our patients can have the amazing smiles they desire and treatment options that fit their lifestyle. We are proud to use the latest orthodontic advances to make sure our patients have the best treatment available.
“I love what I do and enjoy lecturing around the world to other orthodontic specialists,” says Dr. Rudman. “I have also invented some of the technologies utilized in orthodontics today and enjoy the unique insight I gain from consulting with leading orthodontic manufacturers.”
We were the first office in Denver to treat patients with Acceledent, a scientifically proven technology to shorten treatment by 30 to 40 percent. We are also an Invisalign Elite Provider, a status that is reserved for only the most experienced orthodontists, and we utilize the i-Tero Scanning System for our Invisalign patients, which makes impressions a thing of the past. So, whether you’re 8 or 80 years old, want colorful braces or invisible braces, Invisalign or self-ligating treatment, our staff with over 150 years of experience will ensure your smile opens doors.
We will help you understand insurance and offer affordable payment plans.
We are proud of our patients and, in fact, our website features some of our patients and their incredible smiles.
Our philosophy, “We are here to make you smile,” goes far beyond treating your teeth. It’s about feeling great about your experience with us.
Let us help you discover your smile.

BOOSTER SHOT
To say 2020 took a bit of a mental toll would be like saying I-70 can get a little congested during ski season: According to a survey from the Colorado Health Foundation, 53 percent of Centennial Staters experienced a rise in brain strain this past year. Because our cerebral software can’t possibly survive another 12 months of that kind of stress, we asked notable locals to share how they achieved serenity during the chaos. —SHANE MONAGHAN
A D A M C A Y T O N - H O L L A N D Member of local comedy trio the Grawlix
“My comedy cohorts, Ben Roy and Andrew Orvedahl, and I started a podcast in January called The Grawlix Saves the World, where we try to better the world around us by bettering ourselves. [Editors’ note: Episodes have focused on hot yoga, jiujitsu, and other wellness practices.] Then the pandemic hit, and it was like, Oh, what timing. We need self-care more than ever! The things I’ve done [on the show] that have helped the most are taking long breaks from social media and meditating—basically, taking 30 minutes to try and just focus on my breathing. Those have been huge for staying calm amidst the madness.”
Sage Advice
A D R I N O R R I S One of the artists behind Denver’s Black Lives Matter street mural
“When I have the time, I’ve been doing capoeira—a Brazilian martial art I have often heard people describe as dance-fighting set to rhythm—in Cheesman Park. Physical activ-ity is always invigorating, and it involves a lot of inversion, which helps drain toxins from the lymphatic system. I do it with a group of people, and the social aspect makes me feel better. We do it at a distance from each other, of course.”
K A L I F A J A R D O - A N S T I N EAuthor of National Book Award finalist Sabrina & Corina, a collection of short stories
“Relaxing has become a prior-ity for me since the pandemic started. I am working on my debut novel, and de-stressing allows me to be more creative. To help make that happen, I purchased my first, and certainly not my last, pair of tie-dye Crocs, which I wear nearly every day because they are so comfortable. I’m obsessed with the homemade horchata mix from local Cabrona Cof-fee, and I’ve stocked up on scented candles. I’ve also been teaching more online writing workshops. There’s pleasure in helping others learn and sharing our knowledge.”

“I’ve tried to have as many little projects and goals as possible. I went to ‘YouTube university’ to learn how to replace some drywall in my house. And I hiked as many fourteeners as I could during the summer. I ended up with around 22 total. Having those short-term things that I’m working to get done has really helped me focus. I love the sense of accomplishment.”
