What is holistic medicine?
Holistic medicine is a whole-person approach to wellness that addresses the mind, body, and spirit of an individual.
As we often say at PALM, you are more than the sum of your parts. Instead of focusing exclusively on a single aspect of a person’s well-being, a holistic approach encourages wellness in all areas of health: mental, physical, and spiritual.
In addition, holistic medicine recognizes that these areas are interdependent and seeks to restore healing and balance between them.
A holistic medicine approach may incorporate preventive services, treatments, and wellness therapies such as:
- fitness classes, cryotherapy sessions, and nutrition consults for physical health
- biofeedback and well-being coaching for mental health
- meditation classes, massages, and salt room sessions for spiritual health
At PALM Health, we recognize that each individual is a unique being with a distinct physiology and a singular set of thoughts, emotions, and feelings.
Taking this into account, our providers — personal trainers, dietitians, chefs, massage therapists, estheticians, well-being coaches, counselors, physicians, nurses, and class instructors — personalize their services to your goals and preferences in order to help you reach sustainable well-being in mind, body, and spirit.
Why take this approach?
We have found that an integrative and holistic approach to wellness that considers the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — is the most effective. Our clinic features multispecialty physicians who combine the best of conventional medicine, lifestyle medicine, and wellness therapies to help you achieve your health goals.
Our specialists in functional medicine use an advanced diagnostic approach to uncover the root cause of illness, based on the understanding that lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors influence long-term well-being.
