Ultimately, more comprehensive data will enable more precise pathways to optimal nutrition, movement, sleep, emotional balance, social well-being and overall health

As more and more mainstream medical schools offer elective rotations in integrative health, we are seeing a growing number of trained and licensed practitioners embrace holistic wellness.

Increasingly, practitioners are focusing on optimal health and healing, and taking lifestyle and environment into account. And they are recommending mental and emotional health services, nutrition counseling, acupuncture, yoga, along with mindfulness and meditation practices as part of comprehensive care.

Nutrition is a foundational element of wellness, and there is a strong and growing movement toward preventive healthcare, emphasizing diet and lifestyle as key factors promoting optimal health.

Research into the efficacy of integrative wellness is leading to better evidence and data to support their use.

More rigorous studies and clinical trials will help establish standards, measure effectiveness, and guide clinical practice to improve health and health care.

And as more research supports the efficacy of integrative wellness, insurance companies may expand coverage for a wider array of therapies. This trend also responds to growing demand for non-pharmaceutical and holistic approaches.
