What Integrative Medicine Actually Is (And What It's Not) with Dr. Gary Soffer
from The Immune Edit · host Dr. Doug Jones
Integrative medicine and functional medicine get used like they're the same thing — but they're not. And the difference matters more than you think.In this episode, Dr. Doug Jones sits down with Dr. Gary Soffer, a pediatric allergist and immunologist at Yale School of Medicine who also holds a fellowship in integrative medicine — and who started his career scouting bands for Atlantic Records. Together they break down what integrative medicine actually means (hint: the NIH defines it), why it's not about secret lab tests or proprietary supplement blends, and how simple mind-body practices like journaling, spending time in nature, and getting better sleep can genuinely move the needle on your health.They also get into the state of medicine right now — from the daily battle with AI-driven insurance denials to the growing political divide around health — and why the real fix might be simpler than we think: just getting people in a room together to talk.🩺 Become a patient at GAIN: myimmunenetwork.com Follow Dr. Doug Jones: @drdougjones on Instagram and TikTokLearn more: drdougjones.com Subscribe: Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube
