Integrative Medicine: What Is It, Types, Risks & Benefits | SE1/EP113 | Back2Basics

 Steven M. Hall, MD strives to practice medicine in its purest form. Not conventional medicine, not Naturopathic medicine nor Chinese medicine nor Ayurvedic medicine. But medicine that has room in it for everything valid we know about healing. From pharmaceuticals to nutriceuticals, from surgery to spiritual healing.Medical science now believes that every aspect of your life, from how you eat, sleep and exercise, to what you believe, exerts some influence upon your state of health. Therefore, if you have health challenges, any aspect of your life, not just the physical ones, could be their cause. A medicine that can see you, understand you and treat you as a whole human being just makes sense.Developing and practicing that kind of medicine has been Dr. Hall’s professional passion for over thirty years. That is the kind of medicine he will bring to bear upon your health challenges. He calls it Integral Medicine, since it derives from an integral worldview and integrates all that we know about healing.Integral Medicine uses a variety of diagnostic approaches to identify the root cause of your health challenges and then treats the root with an effective blend of the best from conventional and alternative medicines. This generally results in a resolution of the problem, not just a repetitive treatment of the symptoms of the problem. Support the show
