Restore Health Center is an innovative medical practice that is all about identifying and removing the things that push you towards disease and filling your life with the things that create wellness so you can stay healthy or get healthy. Rather than simply relying on medications to treat symptoms, we work with you to help get your systems back to optimal function.
We think in terms of how your body works within its genetic predispositions and how it interacts with food, environmental toxins and stress. We use conventional medications and testing when they are needed, but we also use food as medical therapy along with targeted clinical approaches. With our complete wellness approach, we strive to identify the root causes of your symptoms and get you on a path of optimal wellness.

We are dedicated to a new model of health care which is focused on achieving optimal health rather than treating disease. We approach health challenges in a systematic manner addressing underlying issues rather than chasing symptoms with medications. We look at the body's systems rather than just symptoms.
Dr. James Howton completed his residency in Family Medicine in 1996 and practiced emergency medicine in Oklahoma until moving to Estes Park, Colorado, where he purchased and developed a clinic that continues to this day. During his tenure in Estes Park, he cared for whole families from "cradle to grave."
Are you constantly tired but can't explain why? Do you feel overwhelmed by stressful situations and find yourself lacking in the strength and vitality that you used to enjoy? Do you struggle to get out of bed in the mornings even after a long sleep? If so, there is a good chance that you are suffering from fatigue.
We are now seeing an epidemic of brain disorders affecting 1.1 billion people worldwide. Depression is now the leading cause of world-wide disability affecting 120 million people worldwide. Psychoanalysis or therapy will not reverse the depression that comes from profound omega-3 fatty acid deficiencies, a lack of vitamin B12, a low functioning thyroid or chronic mercury toxicity.
During Acute Stress - our body's fight and flight response - the body responds to immediate danger, and, when danger has passed, the body quickly returns to normal. During Chronic Stress adrenals must work to maintain consistently high levels of epinephrine and cortisol ('stress hormone) hormones. Remember, the body does not distinguish between 'stressors'.

I have been suffering for a long time and had seen 2 other doctors, neither of whom helped. I had given up until a friend recommended Dr. Howton. I finally found someone who not only listens but who knows how to help and get my body back in balance. Dr. Howton is amazing. I would 120% recommend him. You'll be so glad you did!

My care over the last five years has been outstanding and life changing. Dr. Howton treated my over all health and symptoms that perhaps main stream doctors didn’t slow down enough to understand. Recently, he looked through blood work test results that main stream doctors passed by and prescribed thyroid treatment that changed my life in a day. It isn’t just that he can find a magic pill, (possible ... a few times this happened) but he treats root causes to rebuild health foundational to enjoying life and feeling better. It does take perseverance and investment and time but what better to invest

I can’t speak highly enough of Restore Health and there just isn’t enough stars on google ratings! Lol. The staff at Restore have helped me to make some life changing strides towards a healthier and a happier me and for that I am extremely grateful. Dr. Howton has been amazing to work with and is a truly caring and intelligent medical professional that sets the bar for customer service and I have heard equally wonderful things about Doctor Fischer from family members that she has helped. They’ve both done great things for me and my loved ones and they have an all around wonderful community

TEN stars. My Doctor listens to me and he works as my partner in my health care. He is literally the only Doctor that I’m not afraid of. And considering what I’ve been through with the medical profession, that’s a small miracle. The staff are highly professional, considerate and respectful. Since having my first appointment with Dr Howton, I feel like there is finally some Hope.
