Podcast Episode 102: The Benefits of Integrative Medicine

Integrative medicine is a healing approach that combines conventional Western medicine with complementary or alternative therapies to provide a more comprehensive approach to your health care. The goal is to address physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual aspects of the person’s well-being. It’s more patient-centered than other approaches tend to be.

What’s in this episode:

  • How integrative medicine differs from Western medicine
  • The doctor-patient dynamic in integrative medicine

  • The principles or keys to integrative medicine
  • The benefits of using integrative medicine
