Integrative medicine merges the best of conventional medicine, alternative therapies, and natural medicine. Metabolic medicine uses all of these sciences to optimize functions in the body in order to bring about better health, help prevent future disease, and decrease the impact of aging, lifestyle, and toxins on the body.
The education, training, and mentorship of Integrative and Metabolic Medicine allows me to offer the best of modern, conventional, and alternative options to improve the wellness of clients like you.
After a decade of delivering conventional healthcare, I noticed that patients were getting sicker under the current disease care system in the United States. Along with my own health challenges, this realization drove me to seek more knowledge and find a better understanding of how I as a physician could help people attain greater vibrancy, energy, and happiness through real health.
The benefit of wellcare is that is focused on looking at the person as a whole, instead of treating the patient as a collection of diseases. Wellcare is about optimizing all of the body’s systems, allowing them work together like a well-rehearsed symphony.
There are many who will tell you that the traditional healthcare is no good, and many others who say that alternative medicine is a waste of time. I can tell you that there are actually benefits to a variety of medical disciplines, and through my training I can help you identify which may be of benefit on your journey of wellness.
In good health, vibrancy, and happiness,
Joycie M Smith, MD
