Integrative Medicine: How to Blend Modern Science with Eastern Medicine for Root-Cause Healing
EPISODE #26 — FEB 6, 2025
Many women feel dismissed by conventional healthcare—cycling through doctors and specialists without real solutions for hormonal imbalances, gut issues, weight gain, and more. The problem? Western medicine often focuses on managing disease rather than preventing it. Holistic and Eastern medicine, on the other hand, prioritize root-cause healing through nutrition, lifestyle, herbal remedies, and functional lab testing. Integrative medicine blends the best of both, leveraging modern science while emphasizing natural healing. If you’re ready to take charge of your health, step into a more holistic approach, and seek solutions beyond the conventional system, then this episode is for you.
