Integrative Psychiatry

Integrative Psychiatry is a sub-specialty of conventional psychiatry with the goal to increase a sense of connection to your own body, and to recognize the impact that your lifestyle decisions can make in your overall health, functioning, and well-being. It is a true understanding of how a balance of the physical, environmental, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of your life is vital to your mental well-being.

Our Services

At WholeHealth Chicago our patients have access to providers who use an integrative and functional medicine model. Functional medicine is a real paradigm shift in the practice of health care. Instead of the traditional disease-centered focus of conventional medicine, functional medicine practitioners apply a patient-centered approach that addresses the whole person–not simply isolated symptoms.

Our Practitioners

We have assembled an outstanding group of practitioners here at WholeHealth Chicago, men and women all seasoned practitioners in their areas of expertise. By working with each other for years, they’re dedicated to our model of integrative health care.

My Integrative Medicine Comeuppance

About six weeks ago, I was in the Loop just leaving the international Lyme disease conference, briefcase in one hand, shopping bag filled with I-don’t-remember-what in the other, when my foot caught an irregular sidewalk crack and down I went, hard, landing full force on my left shoulder. (Permission to cringe.) I was immediately helped up by what felt like a busload of high school Read More
Making Sense of “Controversial” Diagnoses

I’m warning you in advance. You’re entering a minefield here, with explosive views among seemingly conservative health care professionals. At least wear a helmet. Protective eyewear wouldn’t hurt either. You wouldn’t think a slew of conditions you’ve heard about (including chronic Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic Epstein-Barr, toxic mold syndrome, food sensitivities, intestinal dysbiosis, chronic inflammatory response syndrome, and mast cell activation syndrome) Read More
Getting Tough With Your Immune System

No reasonable physician (I modestly include myself here) can refrain from crowing delightedly when a clinical study confirms the value of a treatment he or she had been using for years, even if that treatment had contradicted prevailing standards. Ever since I learned something about natural medicine, I’ve been reluctant to prescribe antibiotics for respiratory tract infections, such as colds, sore throats, and bronchitis. Many physicians had Read More
