Integrative Medicine

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine is a patient-centered, holistic approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with evidence-based complementary therapies to treat the whole person—not just their symptoms. It recognizes that there are multiple ways to treat a disease process; but more importantly, to look at a person's overall health picture, identifying possible early disease before it becomes a future problem, practicing prevention where typical western medicine may fall short. 

Unlike conventional care, which often focuses primarily on symptom management, integrative medicine seeks to identify and treat the root causes of illness while empowering patients to take an active role in their health journey.

Key Principles of Integrative Medicine

  1. Whole-Person Care:
    Integrative medicine views each patient as a unique individual, considering physical, emotional, environmental, social, and lifestyle factors that affect health.

  2. Evidence-Based Therapies:
    Combining the best of both worlds—traditional medicine and scientifically backed complementary therapies like nutrition, mind-body practices, and lifestyle interventions.

  3. Patient-Provider Partnership:
    Patients and providers work as partners. Patients are empowered to actively participate in decisions about their care and overall wellness journey.

  4. Prevention & Root-Cause Focus:
    Instead of simply managing symptoms, integrative medicine seeks to address underlying imbalances or dysfunctions to prevent illness and support long-term well-being.

What Does an Integrative Medicine Provider Do?

An integrative medicine provider combines traditional medicine with functional and holistic therapies to create individualized care plans.

Their approach may include:

  • Comprehensive Testing: Beyond routine lab work, testing for hormones, inflammation, gut health, food sensitivities, metabolic function, and toxins.
  • Nutritional Counseling: Using food as medicine to promote healing, energy, and disease prevention.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Addressing sleep, hydration, movement, and environmental factors that affect health.
  • Supplement Support: Prescribing physician-grade supplements to restore nutrient deficiencies or support specific needs.
  • Conventional Treatments: Integrative providers incorporate medications or traditional treatments when appropriate to reduce future risk

Why Should You Seek Care Through Integrative Medicine?

Patients often turn to integrative medicine for the following reasons:

  1. Chronic or Unexplained Conditions
    Many patients struggle with conditions like fatigue, gut issues, brain fog, pain, autoimmune diseases, or hormonal imbalances that don’t improve with traditional treatments alone. Integrative medicine dives deeper to find and treat the root cause.

  2. Desire for Personalized Care
    Integrative providers tailor care plans to a patient’s unique needs, considering all aspects of their health instead of a "one-size-fits-all" approach.

  3. Emphasis on Prevention
    Integrative medicine focuses on preventing illness before it occurs by promoting lifestyle and dietary changes that support optimal health.

  4. Seeking Alternatives to Medications
    Patients looking for natural or non-invasive alternatives to pharmaceuticals often benefit from integrative approaches like nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle modifications.

  5. Improving Quality of Life
    Patients dealing with chronic illness, pain, or fatigue may seek integrative care to regain energy, vitality, and a sense of well-being.

  6. Thorough, Time-Intensive Care
    Integrative providers often spend more time with patients during appointments, offering thorough assessments and compassionate, collaborative care, not dictated by insurance companies.
