“A small hole in the body makes a large hole in the soul"
Integrative Medicine is the popular name for a health care practice paradigm shift that centers on finding and correcting the root causes affecting the patients’ problems. Instead of covering up their symptoms with drugs (chemicals that are not naturally produced and consumed by humans), Integrative Medicine emphasizes the discovery and application of the newer technological advances that are related to the process of aging and the disruptors of health. Chronic inflammation, stress, environmental toxic influence, and alienation of the sense of yourself and your surrounding are some of the multiple factors that need to be addressed to achieve wellness.
Mitochondrial health (subcellular organelle responsible for energy production and normal cell function) is another primary concern. Addressing the disruption of intracellular nutrition is a major therapeutic modality. Correction of metabolic limitations and improvement in mitochondrial function, along with exercise and proper sleep are essential to restoring the normal homeostasis mechanisms which are the key to a healthy adaptive behavioral response. Preserving a healthy nutrition capacity is vital to reclaiming back your health. Homeostasis is the ability of our body’s cells to regenerate themselves back to their normal state. This is the hallmark of healthy aging and the beginning of our journey.
