When the name of a practice includes the word “traditional,” one cannot be faulted into thinking that it’s entrenched in the past. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as practiced today, however, is not the same as it was thousands of years ago.

Presented by: Ronald Hoffman, MD, CNS, FACAM The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)—comprising Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis—is soaring in Western countries. How do modern lifestyles and medical practices contribute to its incidence? Is there a stress component? What is the current “standard of care” for IBD, and what are the limitations of drug therapies? What is the rationale for incorporating natural interventions—diet, supplements, and innovative strategies—for IBD? What is the current thinking about the causation of IBD, and how does it validate wholistic correctives? What nutritional deficiencies are commonly seen in IBD sufferers? What nutritional support strategies have been demonstrated to support disease amelioration? Why is the current practice of oral iron supplementation for the anemia commonly seen in IBD counterproductive? What role for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)? What are its potential drawbacks? What other dietary considerations apply to IBD? Which nutraceuticals have documented efficacy in IBD? What role for probiotics? Does the “Yeast Connection” offer actionable insights on IBD? Could cannabinoids be therapeutic? Are testosterone, DHEA, or GH beneficial? Is there a potential for fecal transplants to ameliorate IBD? Is low-dose naltrexone (LDN) a plausible option?

Julie Luzarraga LICSW, DCSW, has been practicing integrative medicine for most of her career as a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. She says she fell in love with the healthcare model that centered on identifying a patient’s unique needs through building relationships and wrapping around with other services to support patients. When she moved to Nebraska and couldn’t find a clinic that brought complementary services under one roof with traditional medicine, she decided to create one herself, and in August 2011 opened Omaha Integrative Care.

In this guide, Luzarraga shares her experiences launching an integrative healthcare start-up. This resource will help you identify why you may want to start an integrative healthcare practice, review important considerations, and provide tangible steps on how to get started with your practice development.

Included in this resource:
