1. What is Precision Medicine, Integrative Medicine?
Precision Medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is an innovative approach that considers individual differences in patients' genes, environments, and lifestyles. It allows Dr. Gulati to tailor his treatment plans to the unique characteristics of each of his patients. In a nutshell, integrative medicine is an approach to care that combines conventional medicine with the latest in evidence-based complementary and alternative therapies. It reaffirms the relationship between doctor and patient, and emphasizes treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—by considering lifestyle, nutrition, and the underlying causes of health issues. Integrative medicine aims to provide personalized and comprehensive care, often blending modern medicine with recommendations for healing traditions in acupuncture, herbal medicine, and mindfulness to promote more holistic well-being. The goal is to address both symptoms and underlying imbalances for a more patient-centered approach.
