What is Holistic Medicine?

Holistic medicine is a model of care that emphasizes the integration of body, mind, and spirit. It aligns these core elements with an approach that both humanizes and deepens the client-provider experience. A holistic perspective in practice focuses on the uniqueness of each person's bio-individuality and responsibility for their health. It simultaneously takes a whole-person approach, addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine means getting up close and personal, getting under the microscope, and targeting, reversing, and eliminating root causes. Did you know that most conventional medical providers know nothing about functional blood chemistry, something that you will become well-versed in? In fact, functional medicine is woven throughout the fabric of every aspect of our coursework.

What is Conventional Medicine?

Conventional medicine is excellent for emergency medical care, such as surgery, stitches, or prescriptions, without which you can't survive. It's also great for some of those elective cosmetic  procedures some of us can't live without. Still, unless functionally trained, conventional medical providers generally take a reductionist view of health in diagnosing and treating chronic disease, which usually involves medication or surgical intervention to remove the offending body part or organ. Prescription drugs are the educational foundation of conventional medical practice where health concerns are treated in isolation vs. in unity of the whole person. Sadly, according to John Hopkins University, conventional medicine is the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States due to medical errors. It's safe to say that some degree of med school and practice ethics reform are needed.

How They Differ

A functional and holistic practice model takes a multi-factorial approach based on the unity of one's combined essences and environmental exposome. This model bases any evaluation on the belief that the person and their environment mutually influence the other. It defines health as a state of complete mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, not merely the absence of disease. For better or worse, people's health is affected not only by nutrition, diet, stress, and genetics but also by their intrapersonal relationships. Our providers target all of these areas and more with Ideal Health Theory®.
