Integrative Medicine FAQs
What is integrative medicine?
Integrative medicine combines conventional medical care with evidence‑informed complementary approaches—such as targeted nutrition, supplements, stress‑reduction techniques, and mind‑body practices—to support whole‑person health. The focus is on treating root causes, improving quality of life, and using the least invasive, most effective treatments available.
How is integrative care different from “alternative” medicine?
Integrative care uses conventional diagnostics and treatments as a foundation, then thoughtfully adds complementary therapies that have a reasonable evidence base and safety profile. The goal is not to replace standard care but to enhance it, reduce side effects, and better align treatment with your values and lifestyle.
What kinds of conditions can integrative medicine help with?
Integrative approaches can be helpful for chronic conditions such as fatigue, fibromyalgia, digestive issues, hormonal changes, anxiety, depression, metabolic syndrome, and long‑term pain. Care often includes lifestyle changes, nutritional strategies, sleep and stress optimization, and careful use of supplements or other therapies.
Are supplements and herbal treatments safe?
Some supplements and herbs can be beneficial, but they can also interact with medications or be inappropriate for certain conditions. Working with a clinician trained in integrative medicine helps ensure any recommended products are evidence‑informed, dosed appropriately, and monitored for safety.
Can integrative and lifestyle medicine be done via telehealth?
Yes, integrative and lifestyle‑focused visits often work very well by telehealth because they rely heavily on detailed history, lab review, and coaching around nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress. When physical exams or procedures are needed, we coordinate in‑person services or referrals to complement your virtual care.
