What is holistic health?
Holistic health is a functional medicine approach to optimizing your health and overall well-being that considers your body as a whole rather than parts or areas. At Birmingham Royal Oak Medical Group, Dr. George considers your whole body and its intricate systems, and blends the best of natural, traditional, and complementary medicine to prompt your body’s healing mechanisms.
One of the hallmarks of holistic health is the focus on treating the root cause of acute and chronic illness rather than the symptoms. To help you get better when you’re sick or to maintain good health, Dr. George uses practices that integrate your mind, body, and spirit.
