[Music] now we're going to talk about Integrative Health versus functional medicine and we're going to talk about the differences between the two my name is Dr Erica steel I'm a holistic doctor in family practice I'm trained in both integrative medicine as well as functional medicine I hold six degrees in my field and they're all in the Natural healthc Care space and I am a drugless doctor so thank you for tuning in to my channel so let's talk about it so functional medicine versus integrative medicine they both work together as a team beautifully and we'll talk more about that so integrative healthc care it integrates the whole person it looks at all different aspects functional medicine can look at all different aspects I find Integrative Medicine does deal a little bit more with let's say the psych psychological of the person or the emotional aspects they do use some mindbody modalities and functional medicine does too but it's more heavy on the laboratory diagnostic side so we're really using lots and lots of labs to be able to evaluate and there's not a lot of Diagnostics that are in the Western world that we use to evaluate let's say emotions and so functional medicine does have its place because it's looking at your nutrient deficiencies your accumulated toxins your overall organ health and function as well as areas of prevention to get to the root causes of why a person may be unwell physically it does doesn't really do a lot in terms of the emotional side of the person or what mental aspects of the person some functional doctors can have additional training but they oftentimes don't have some of the training that's required so they're just going to look at the patient simply from a physical perspective Integrative Medicine I find has a little bit more of the Mind Body approaches to it it it talks a little bit more about how mindset plays into it a little bit more about the psychological of the person but it also deals it allows for depending on the person's training it allows for more drug therapy surgery interventions or procedures so an integrative healthc care provider as long as they're an alpath doeses have those particular modalities as well to be able to offer and bring into the mix functional doctors can also have that additional training so there's a lot of different there's I both of them is very similar but really as more of a modernized naturopathy so naturopaths we were the original nature cure we believe that the body is whole We Believe prevention is number one we also believe doctor is teacher and so we do spend a lot of time educating and then secondary to that the traditional osteopathic doctors who were more holistic back in the day when Dr Andrew still first founded but then when they joined in with the AMA they lost a lot of their unfortunately their holistic practices and then alpath they are definitely trained more in the alpath approaches like drugs and surgery Etc however over the last several years they've been really learning a lot more about natural health is to be able to integrate into their practices which has been very exciting to see functional medicine providers can be from various different backgrounds they can be medical doctors they can be osteopaths they can be chiropractors I often see a lot of chiropractors doing functional medicine practices and in doing a functional neurology which is really exciting to be able to help with various neurological conditions like Perkinson and dementia Etc and so they can really help from a natural perspective help serve that patient population which is exciting and so functional medicine providers can also be I've seen even some acupuncturists doing functional medicine it's a that's a little bit of a stretch just because of their original training they'd have to go through some formalized functional medicine training programs just to be able to add more of the eastern and western approaches to their practices and then even I've seen some physical therapists start to incorporate some of functional medicine into their practice as well so hopefully that helps to educate you about the differences in Integrative Health and functional medicine I really believe they work very closely together and I love both modalities and I use them both in my practice as an abort certified naturopathic doctor thank you so much for tuning in if you have any comments or questions please share subscribe and send it below thank you a [Music]

As a 21 year, finding the path of become a holistic doctor. I love the idea of helping our women bring life ,(labor) peaceful and natural. Help men strive, with sociology, fitness, nutritional/lifestyle. I’m learning where the path is for degrees to get. So I can help the change for the diversity of our people.
@PerfectionByMech 6 July 2025 at 05:50

Thank you for creating this informative video.

I’m confused on the differences and overlap between functional, naturopath and holistic practitioners. Integrated I think I understand as it’s a combination of everything – is naturopathy just a form of holistic practice? Functional for me just seems to want me to spend tons on testing all the time (and I pass out during these tests so it’s not a great approach for me!)
@swagsukeuchiha7599 6 July 2025 at 05:50

can a health coach use these principles?
@amiraheals 6 July 2025 at 05:50

I’m considering a PhD program in functional and integrative nutrition in order to better serve my individual therapy clients. What’re your thoughts on this type of degree? ❤
@mtimm001 6 July 2025 at 05:50

Hi Dr Steele…I am an FNP …and loved this video….
Are you starting a functional medicine course soon ?
@SusandPhd 6 July 2025 at 05:50

How do you think functional medicine could enhance a mental health practice? TIA
@Christlikeromanceauthor 6 July 2025 at 05:50

I want to incorporate integrative medicine when I complete my Physician Assistant program. What school would you recommend
@rootcausemarketing 6 July 2025 at 05:50

Thank you for the education on the differences between integrative medicine and functional medicine! I love that you pointed out how well the diagnostic testing that characterizes functional medicine can get to the root cause of physical health issues and chronic disease and how taking an integrative approach can blend modalities to also work on mind/body alignment. These outlooks are the medicine of the future and your easy-to-understand approach will help people understand why. 👍
