Founding thriveMD
Since 2002, Dr. Brandt had been a part-time resident in Vail, CO. His passion for further advancing the field of pain management, coupled with the progress in Regenerative and Longevity Medicine, led to his decision to move full-time to Vail in 2012 with his wife and two daughters. Vail’s active-aging population was and continues to be a perfect fit for his state-of-the-art pain and age management practice, thriveMD. Now that his children have left home for university, Dr. Brandt is once again splitting his time between Vail and Denver, with offices in both locations.
As the premier Concierge Medical Clinic in Colorado, thriveMD offers a variety of treatment options, including autologous stem cell treatments, longevity medicine, preemptive health screening, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Brandt has built a clinic with an emphasis on preserving and improving joint, soft tissue and spine function in addition to treating existing conditions but also preventing future health issues while enhancing overall well-being so that patients can continue to enjoy all that Colorado has to offer. As his practice continues to gain recognition, patients routinely travel across the country to be seen by Dr. Brandt and his growing team at ThriveMD. Dr. Brandt continues to lead ThriveMD with a dedication to excellence, always striving to push the boundaries of what is possible in medicine to improve the lives of his patients.
Areas of Expertise
Stem Cell Therapy
Dr. Brandt has trained extensively across the country and become one of the nation’s top stem cell therapy doctors. He provides the highest quality patient care available. He continues to incorporate advancements in the field as rapidly as scientific evidence supports their addition. This, combined with Dr. Brandt’s unparalleled expertise in minimally invasive injection techniques, utilizing live image guidance, allows him to ensure the best biologic solutions are placed exactly in the areas of tissue damage.
This is especially pertinent when injecting sensitive areas around the spine and degenerative joint anatomy. Stem cell treatments for degenerative disc disease are showing great promise in relieving disc-related low back pain. Dr. Brandt has over twenty years of experience injecting thousands of spinal discs. This experience allows him to safely and accurately employ state-of-the-art regenerative therapies to the disc segments. Dr. Brandt is confident that stem cell therapies for lumbar discs will greatly diminish the number of spinal fusions that are being performed for the treatment of disc-related low back pain.

As ThriveMD’s hormone doctor, Dr. Brandt has undergone extensive training by Dr. Neal Rouzier, the leading authority on BHRT. Dr. Rouzier is the author of How to Achieve Healthy Aging. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy not only combats the diseases of aging and improves global wellness, but it has been demonstrated that patients who are hormonally optimized report better outcomes following stem cell treatments and surgical procedures.
