WHAT IS A HOLISTIC DOCTOR? | EXPLAINED

hi I am dr. Julie Brown your concussion doctor board-certified chiropractic neurologist and fellow in traumatic brain injury and rehabilitation today I want to talk about the word holistic I many of my patients say oh I like what you do your holistic you're a holistic doctor and I'm always curious what that means to each individual person then the word I it I feel like it separates what a real doctor is the word I think we should be called realist doctors as in we look at the whole body so let me go to google and describe the read definition so holistic in the in regards to medicine characterized by the treatment of the whole person taking into account mental and social factors rather than just the physical symptoms of a disease another definition identifying the principles of holism in a system of therapeutics especially one considered outside the mainstream of scientific medicine as natural natural fee and chiropractic and often involving nutritional measurements or I'm sorry nutritional measures so it kind of it drives me nuts a little bit I am scientific based I learned the same Anatomy the same physiology I actually study nutrition the chiropractors get nutrition in their education I look at the the whole of the body so yes I'm a holistic doctor but I feel like people should say oh you're a real doctor you look at me as a human you take into account my thyroid and not just the TSH you're taking in am i converting my thyroid hormone if I'm not why am i doing that do I have an estrogen problem am I not detoxing do I not have enough B vitamins to get rid of toxins am i starting in my day off with oatmeal so sugar and balancing right away and and flaring up this is that cytokine cascade which is your inflammatory cascade there are many things and you have to look at that sigh roid effects brain it affects those little neurons and how they get energy to work appropriately so I can't look at one thing without looking at the whole body and really no doctor should same goes to patients you got to pay attention to what you're doing in life you can't come in and say oh pop my back or expect that time that I spend with you one time a week two times a week for a week whatever it may be and then you don't change anything in your life that has created this issue you know we got it we got a look at the whole system not just doctors but patients as well if you'd like to know more my website is below and if you'd like to subscribe to my youtube channel there is an icon over here you can click on
