What types of concerns do patients bring to a holistic consultation?
Sometimes patients want to prevent conditions for which they may be at risk such as a family history of heart disease. Others want help finding the source of their problem, rather than just treating it with drugs. Some may want to lose weight or improve their overall health status. Others may want to establish a relationship with a physician who can integrate natural therapies into their treatment. Often patients come who have chronic problems for which traditional treatment has been ineffective (such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or multiple symptoms without a diagnosis), or for which they prefer a more personalized or natural approach.
