What exactly is inte- grative functional medicine? In a nutshell, it is a holistic approach to patient therapy which incor- porates all treatment options, both traditional and non-tradi- tional, in order to optimize a patient’s health and wellness. It examines the systems of the human body as interrelating components which are designed to work together as a unit to produce a healthy well-function- ing organism. Valley Integrative Pharmacy embraces this approach by rec- ognizing the patient is the cen- ter of all wellness activity. Our goal is to work with other health care professionals for the specific purpose of optimizing patients’ health.
