Talk to Your Doctor is a series of episodes about, well, how to talk to your doctor! Whether it's about integrative medicine or questions you might not have thought of, we'll try and cover it in this pod.
In the first episode of this series, we answer the question "How do I ask my doctor about integrative medicine?" According to the National Institute for Health, integrative oncology is a patient-centered, evidence-informed field that utilizes mind-body practices, lifestyle modifications, and/or natural products interwoven with conventional cancer treatment. It prioritizes safety and the best available evidence to offer appropriate interventions alongside conventional care. That's literally their definition.
Patients are often reluctant to talk to their doctors about using therapies that might be outside of the standard of care, and doctors don't always know how to advise their patients on the use of these therapies. As more patients are becoming aware of the potential benefits of these treatments, keeping an open dialog with their providers is key.
Talk to YOUR doctor if you think integrative medicine is for you.
