About me
Dr. Mitchell Rasmussen is a functional medicine practitioner who lives at the intersection of modern science and embodied practice. With over 500 hours of advanced training in functional medicine and functional immunology, his work is devoted to understanding how the body actually heals, and how practices like yoga fit into that picture.
At The Facility Denver, Mitchell helps guide care for people with complex, chronic conditions who have often tried “everything” without lasting results. He oversees laboratory testing, collaborates on nutritional and supplement strategies, and supports patients in building clear, personalized plans rooted in the biology of their own bodies — not just their diagnoses.
In Yoga as Primary Care, Mitchell explores how yogic practices influence the nervous system, immune system, and cellular signaling in ways that are deeply aligned with functional medicine. Rather than seeing yoga as something people do after they’re sick, he invites us to see it as a foundational practice for regulation, resilience, and long-term health. Mitchell’s work is grounded in three pillars: Empowerment, Education, and Empathy. He believes people heal best when they understand their own physiology, feel genuinely heard, and are given tools that help them work with their bodies instead of against them.
Trained at Northwestern Health Sciences University, Mitchell is not a traditional chiropractor. His practice focuses on the deeper drivers of health including biochemistry, immune function, belief systems, and movement. He has co-founded The Facility Denver with his longtime collaborator Kate to create a space where science and self-awareness can actually meet.
