What Even Is Holistic Medicine? 

To define holistic medicine, we must break down what the word “holistic” means. According to Merriam Webster, the adjective, “holistic,” is defined as “relating to or concerned with complete systems rather than with individual parts.” And the noun, “medicine,” is defined as “the science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease.” When we bring the two words together to talk about the specific medical practice of holistic medicine, we are talking about the practice of considering the person as a whole—body, mind, spirit and emotions—to achieve the best health possible through proper balance in life (WebMD.com). In simple terms, a holistic medicine practitioner Edmond Oklahoma takes a whole-body approach when treating patients, not just treating specific symptoms or diseases. 

As a holistic medicine practitioner Edmond Oklahoma, we believe that all of the parts that make us up—the body, mind, spirit and emotions—are dependent upon each other. If one aspect isn’t functioning or balanced properly, then all of the other areas will be affected as a result. Holistic medicine practitioners Edmond Oklahoma can use many forms of healthcare to treat patients, from traditional medicine practices, such as medication, to alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, naturopathy, body movement therapies, supplements and herbal remedies, diet and nutrition, meditation, and even art, dance and music. 

To really understand each of our beautifully unique patients, during our first consultation we will talk with each of our patients about different aspects of their health, wellness and history, asking a series of questions that include but aren’t limited to:

Have you been through past traumas that you have not processed and worked through? 

• This can negatively affect your confidence level and decision making on many levels.

How healthy is your brain?

> Have you had head injuries in the past and not fully recovered?

> What is the status of your circulation? 

> Have you had your cholesterol checked? 

> Do you tend to be a negative thinker and ruminate on past mistakes?

      – This can affect your physical and mental status and progression of recovery

> What is your inflammation status? 

> How is your immune system? 

> Do you catch every “bug” that comes along?

> Are you hydrated? 

> If you are drinking enough water throughout the day but are still dehydrated – why? 

> Is the source of your water non-toxic(not polluted with toxins)?  

> Do you have enough minerals to carry the water molecules to your cells allowing for hydration to occur?

> Are you eating well to provide nutrition to your cells/body?

      – Processed foods full of chemicals will rob your body of crucial vitamins and minerals. 

> How well does your body absorb the vitamins and minerals?

> Is the recommended dose enough or too much for you? 

> Do you have gut issues that can affect the absorption of these vitamins/minerals that are crucial for your body’s inner workings?

What type of diet works best for your body?

• Keto? 
• Paleo? 
• Mediterranean?

Are you sleeping well?

> If not, do you have sleep apnea? 

> What is the circumference of your airway pipe? Is it narrowed? 

> Can this affect the amount of oxygen you receive? 

> Are you a side sleeper?

> How are your neurotransmitters? 

> Are you too revved up at night to calm down?

> Do you have heavy metals that are trying to detox at night interfering with your sleep?  

> Does your stress/cortisol level affect your sleep at night?

What are your exercise habits? 

> Walking is good for circulation but what about building muscle mass? 

     –  As you age maintaining muscle mass helps you to maintain your health and ability to move easier( ex putting on your pants without falling over or having to hold onto furniture)
