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.  

In this episode, we are diving into all aspects of integrative medicine and sharing how it can enhance your care and address the root cause of your health challenges, not just the symptoms.

What’s in this episode:

  • How integrative medicine differs from Western medicine
  • The doctor-patient dynamic in integrative medicine
  • How combining therapies can enhance your outcomes
  • The principles or keys to integrative medicine
  • The benefits of using integrative medicine
