Optimization and Wellness

Holistic medicine is a patient-focused model of healthcare that looks and treats illness with a integrative science-based approach. It deals with looking for the root cause of conditions and fixing imbalances and dysfunction. It aims to restore the body to optimal functioning and not to just treat symptoms but find the reason for illness and address that. It is possible to look at sexual dysfunction through this lens.

The holistic medicine approach is based on looking at removing toxicity, improving digestion, replacing deficiencies and restoring balance in the body to restore optimal health. Looking at a condition from root cause involves evaluating the whole patient to include their gut, adrenal, thyroid, and hormonal imbalances. It can also involve a very team-centric approach that includes nutritionists, physical therapists, sex therapists, and health coaches as part of the team.

Holistic medicine treats the person behind the disease and not just the symptoms and offers an integrative approach so that the bodily systems can work together and not as separate entities. Dysfunction in one bodily system is usually linked to another. For instance, depression and anxiety may often be linked to gut dysfunction and inflammation as well as sexual dysfunction. Initial appointments last up to an hour and a half for full history and timeline to give a precise picture and implement a treatment plan.
