Frequently Asked Questions
How do I become a patient?
​
Go to our Contact page and book an appointment using our online scheduler. We do all of our booking online. Once you complete the new patient registration paperwork and have your first appointment, you will be a patient (and partner!) in the practice. Please note: We may limit the number of patients in the practice.
What will my appointment be like?
1st appointment — You will have a one-on-one new patient visit that will be up to 1 hour long. We will discuss your health history in depth as well as any current problems. Usually lab work is ordered as well.
Later appointments — You may return at any time for an individual follow-up appointment.
Do you accept insurance?
L.I.F.E. Medicine no longer accepts insurance.
​
May I bring a support person?
Support persons are welcome at your medical appointments, and encouraged. Especially, when the support person shops or cooks for you, or could use additional education or support about a specific disease, or
is caring for a person with a chronic condition or disease.
Do you accept children as patients?
We accept children as patients, but we are a consultant or 2nd opinion and not the primary care provider. We often focus on issues related to behavior, attention, sensory processing (differences/disorder), mood, chronic conditions/disease and overweight.
Our ability to function as a primary care doctor for certain childhood needs is LIMITED, especially in the case of emergencies, acute sickness or injury, and requested vaccinations. Please call 911 in emergencies, and discuss your needs in advance of any appointment so we can refer you if needed.
Are you a primary care provider?
Dr. Jaster is a family medicine (primary care) physician. L.I.F.E. Medicine specializes in primary care issues related to chronic conditions/disease and their prevention, sensory processing, mood optimization, and weight management. Our ability to function as a primary care provider for certain adult needs is LIMITED, especially in the case of emergencies, acute sickness or injury, and requested vaccinations. Please call 911 in emergencies, and discuss your needs in advance of any appointment so we can refer you if needed.
What is an Integrative Holistic Physician?
Brent Jaster, MD, is a diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine. You will be treated holistically, as a whole person, when you partner with Brent and L.I.F.E. Medicine. Additionally, integrative therapies and options will be offered that resonate with your personal goals and beliefs around health and healing. Read more.
Are medications second-line therapy in most cases?
At L.I.F.E. Medicine, we will almost always invite you initially to change how you eat and live, in order to avoid being on a medication for the rest of your life. Many medications and medical procedures DO NOT improve your quality of life or delay your death. BUT if you change how you live then you do gain a better LIFE, in quality and length!
Where are you located?
Our Denver office is located at 1777 S Harrison St, Ste 1200. There is FREE parking on the streets to the west of the building. You may park in the garage for a small fee.
Why is there no staff?
The Ideal Medical Practice concept leverages customer service by allowing
as much interaction with the doctor as possible.
Is phone and email-based medical care possible?
Because we do not take insurance, we can utilize the most convenient communication options with you.
Please call the office if you have time-sensitive concerns and we will determine the best option for you.
Are there membership fees?
L.I.F.E. Medicine charges market rate or less for membership, and access to Dr. Jaster and
his rare background, knowledge and offerings. He is your partner in health with creative options and solutions to help you live better and healthier.

What does YOGA have to do with my health?
Yoga is a philosophy (not a religion) with many potential health and healing benefits. You will likely receive encouragement to employ parts of yoga for your benefit, such as meditation and breathing techniques for stress management, yoga postures for increased flexibility and strength, and more. Dr. Jaster started practicing yoga in 2001 , and has completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training certification.
