  In today’s fast-paced world, achieving and maintaining optimal health can be a challenge. As your healthcare provider at Wellness at Century City, I, Dr. Jessica Cho, MD, am committed to helping you navigate this journey with a unique approach that blends the best of Eastern and Western medicine. This integrative approach can help you optimize your wellbeing and longevity, offering a comprehensive, personalized path to health.  

The Philosophy of Integrative Healthcare

  Integrative healthcare combines the rigorous, evidence-based practices of Western medicine with the holistic, preventative techniques of Eastern medicine. This approach recognizes that true health encompasses not just the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing.  

Benefits of Blending Eastern and Western Medicine

 

1. Holistic Care

  Western medicine excels in diagnosing and treating acute conditions and diseases with advanced technology and pharmaceutical interventions. However, it sometimes overlooks the broader aspects of health, such as lifestyle, diet, and emotional well-being. Eastern medicine, with its roots in healing traditions, emphasizes the balance of mind, body, and spirit. By integrating these perspectives, we can address the root causes of health issues rather than just the symptoms.  

2. Personalized Treatment Plans

  At Wellness at Century City, each patient’s treatment plan is tailored to their unique needs. This personalized approach considers your medical history, lifestyle, genetic predispositions, and even your emotional and mental state. Combining diagnostic tools and treatments from both medical traditions allows us to create a comprehensive plan that supports your overall health and longevity.  

3. Preventative Care

  Eastern medicine places a strong emphasis on prevention and maintaining balance within the body. Techniques such as herbal medicine, nutrition, and mindfulness practices are used to prevent illness by promoting harmony and reducing stress. When combined with Western preventative measures like screenings and vaccinations, this approach provides a robust defense against future health issues.  

4. Chronic Disease Management

  Chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis can benefit significantly from an integrative approach. Western medicine offers effective management strategies, but integrating Eastern practices like dietary adjustments and stress reduction techniques can enhance these treatments, leading to better outcomes and improved quality of life.
