Does holistic health mean integrative medicine?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not exactly: Some non-physicians advertise themselves as "holistic health" coaches or practitioners. You need to look at their credentials and training. "integrative medicine, " on the other hand, generally means physicians are the practitioners -- as well as some nurse practitioners, etc. Again, check the credentials. Integrative medicine does aim to offer holistic (whole person) healthcare, though.

No: Integrative medicine embodies holistic health principles (creating wellness in mind-body-spirit: i.e. Whole person health care) but holistic health can be practiced by anyone, anywhere.
