Our focus at The SHOW Center is on education and practical application of biopsychosocial approaches to health and wellness. This approach to care is very personalized and it is not a one-size-fits-all paradigm.
Most of our patients come to us for sexual health concerns and as we start to unravel the puzzle we realize that patients often have other conditions that are leading to some of their issues. We spend a great deal of time with patients understanding the root cause of their condition and often find that sexual health concerns are often relate to:
- Thyroid conditions
- Gut conditions
- Adrenal conditions
- Hormonal imbalances
- Menopause
- Pregnancy and Postpartum
What is Holistic Medicine?
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.
What is the Holistic Medicine approach?
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.
