Biography

Lilia Brown, FNP-C, FMCP-M, is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner through the Institute for Functional Medicine, with more than 10 years of experience as a primary care nurse practitioner and a master’s degree in Human Nutrition. Her clinical approach combines conventional medical care with functional and lifestyle medicine to help patients better understand the underlying factors contributing to their symptoms and long-term health risks.

At Vail Healthspan, Lilia works with patients to identify root causes and develop highly personalized treatment plans based on their individual history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. She commonly works with concerns including perimenopause and menopause, hormone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, fatigue, sleep problems, gastrointestinal symptoms, metabolic and cardiovascular risk, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, body-composition changes, and healthy aging. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, she partners with each patient to determine which testing may be most useful to investigate their concerns more deeply and uncover contributing factors that may otherwise be missed.

As a licensed medical provider, Lilia can evaluate and diagnose medical conditions, order and interpret testing, prescribe medications, and integrate nutrition, exercise, supplements, hormone therapy, and other evidence-informed treatments when appropriate. Her goal is to help patients understand why they may not be feeling their best and create a practical, sustainable plan to improve both current well-being and long-term health.

Lilia moved to the Vail Valley in 2007 and enjoys snowboarding, mountain biking, rock climbing, and spending time outdoors with her husband and two sons.

Lilia is now accepting new patients for functional medicine, women’s hormone and menopause care, thyroid and metabolic health, gastrointestinal and autoimmune concerns, and proactive health and longevity optimization. She is also a sleep coach for Vail Healthspan’s Sleep Optimization Program.
