It's similarly integrating, it's the integration of alternative medicine with conventional medicine, so someone with diabetes, for example, an integrated medicine style or approach would be they're either taking foreman and so that's the conventional style and then integrating that with alternative medicine with specific exercise program, maybe some stress reduction with yoga and meditation, and altering the diet to be more heavily plant based to try to reverse and improve the diabetes.
Ulka Agarwal, MD, works on clinical research studies and nutrition initiatives at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). She discusses the benefits of a vegan diet to combat obesity and improve overall health.
