Integrative health is an umbrella term for the use of complementary, alternative, and holistic modalities and therapies. They can be beneficial to any and all patients/clients no matter how severe or chronic the ailment is. Acknowledging that each person is a unique being with a mind and spirit is the basis of this practice. A patient is not defined by their symptoms or illness. They are defined by their culture, traditions, beliefs, and who they have created themselves to be. Not every person will be affected by the same treatment, diet plan, exercise program, etc as someone else. Each person has specific needs and those needs can be met through an Integrative Health practice and plan.

There is truly an epidemic in our world today. So much money is being spent on keeping people sick with pharmaceuticals and doctors who don’t know the first thing about healing. It is estimated that $3.5 trillion is spent in the U.S. alone on health care. If we could spend that money on other things like protected parks, trails, better water, and education, the world would be a very different place.

The number one killers in the world today are lifestyle-related diseases like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer. All of which can be prevented, treated, and even reversed with some changes in activity, diet, sleep, and stress management. Each of these things can be helped with Integrative health modalities.
