Holistic Health Gains Ground

WEDNESDAY, JULY 15
PROGRAM #11207 12:00 PM PT

Holistic Health Gains Ground. 

Integrative medicine proposes new approaches to address the modern health crisis and chronic disease, treating root causes rather than symptoms, focusing on prevention through changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits, and caring for the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. From acupuncture and medicinal plants to meditation and therapeutic nutrition, these tools are gaining traction in the health care system. What does science say about their effectiveness? How can people access these treatments? And what role do Latino cultural traditions play in this approach to health?

Guests: Dr. Scarlet Soriano, Associate Vice-President, Duke Well-Being Community and Leadership Programs (Office of Community Health) and Director, Leadership Program in Whole Health and Well-Being at Duke University, Durham, NC; Dr. Maria Rodriguez Contreras, Integrative Medicine Physician, Infectious Disease and Internal Medicine Physician, Duke Health at Duke University, Durham, NC; Dr. Maria Juarez-Reyes, Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine – Primary Care and Population Health, Stanford Health Care at Stanford University, Stanford, CA.
