One of the most important and proactive steps that you can take in your health care journey is assembling a health care team that will nourish and support all aspects of your health – with you at the center. Oftentimes, we think of health care providers as only the standard western medicine practitioners: like doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other providers typically found in a traditional health system or network. These providers are key players on your health care team, and they are critical to your success. However, to tip the scales most in your favor, you’ll need to focus on more than just western medicine treatments and protocols. This means incorporating evidence-based practices and lifestyle modifications that will benefit all aspects of your health and well-being. Just as doctors and nurses support our physical health, a wide range of experts in other aspects of health care are available to support an integrative approach to health and healing.
