The core principles include:

• supporting the whole person, not just symptoms
• Using a combination of conventional and complementary therapies
• Emphasizing the therapeutic relationship between patient and physician
• Focusing on prevention and wellness
• Partnering with patients in their healthcare journey
• Evidence-based practice with compassionate care

• Personalized Care: Treatment plans tailored to individual needs and circumstances
• Preventive Emphasis: Focuses on maintaining health and preventing disease
• Patient Partnership: Doctor and patient collaborate as a team
• Evidence-Based: Uses research-supported treatments from both conventional and complementary medicine

• Treatment for chronic conditions that haven't responded well to conventional care
