Integrative Medicine(AIHM)
Integrative medicine, as defined by the American Board of Integrative Medicine® (ABOIM) and the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine, is the practice of medicine that reaffirms the importance of the relationship between practitioner and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals, and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing.
Slide5
Lifestyle Medicine(ACLM)
Lifestyle Medicine is the evidence-based practice of helping individuals and families adopt and sustain healthy behaviors that affect health and quality of life. (targets include tobacco use, diet, physical activity, alcohol use, mindfulness)Alternatively, Lifestyle Medicine is the use of therapeutic lifestyle changes to treat, prevent, and reverse disease – lifestyle “in” medicine. When the same health-promoting lifestyle choices maximize health and prevent disease, this is lifestyle “is” medicine.
Slide6
Functional Medicine(IFM)
Functional Medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual. The Functional Medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, Functional Medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.

experience
The breath affects the heart

This is a picture from an article called “The Rescuing Hug.” The article details the first week of life of a set of twins. Apparently, they were in separate incubators and one was not expected to live. A hospital nurse fought against the hospital rules and placed the babies together
in one incubator. When they were placed together, the healthier of the two threw an arm over her sister in an endearing embrace. The smaller baby’s heart rate stabilized and her temperature rose to normal.
