Herbalism

For thousands of years, medicinal herbs have played a central role in maintaining health and preventing disease. Within the FIDM+ framework, herbal medicine is used as a systems-based, root-cause approach that supports physiology rather than chasing symptoms. Formulas are selected and adjusted based on individual patterns, clinical history, and current health goals, integrating traditional knowledge with modern understanding. This allows herbal care to function as a practical, evidence-informed tool within an integrative, whole-person model of care.

Within the FIDM+ framework, homeopathy is positioned as a supportive, patient-centered modality that emphasizes individualized assessment and pattern recognition. Remedies are selected based on a person’s full symptom profile, history, and adaptive responses, with the goal of supporting the body’s self-regulatory capacity rather than suppressing symptoms. Used thoughtfully and in context, homeopathy functions as an adjunctive tool within an integrative, whole-person model that prioritizes systems balance, resilience, and informed clinical judgment.

Our Custom Chinese Herbal Formulas are integrated within the FIDM+ framework as a personalized, systems-based tool to support whole-body function and long-term wellness. Formulas are selected and adjusted based on individual patterns, clinical history, and current health goals, emphasizing physiological support rather than symptom chasing. Prepared as capsules, tinctures, powders, or teas, these formulas are designed to complement lifestyle, nutrition, and other integrative strategies within an evidence-informed, patient-centered model of care.

Within the FIDM+ framework, nutritional supplements are used as targeted, evidence-informed tools to support physiology and address identified gaps rather than as stand-alone solutions. Recommendations are based on individual history, current health patterns, diet, and goals, with an emphasis on safety, quality, and clinical relevance. When used appropriately, supplements function as part of a broader systems-based plan that integrates nutrition, lifestyle, and other supportive strategies to promote resilience, balance, and long-term wellness.

Within the FIDM+ framework, diet therapy is used as a structured, systems-based tool to support physiology and address root contributors to health concerns. Nutrition strategies are individualized based on clinical history, current patterns, labs when available, and personal goals—focusing on sustainable dietary changes rather than short-term fixes. Diet therapy is integrated with lifestyle guidance and other supportive modalities to promote metabolic stability, resilience, and long-term wellness within an evidence-informed, patient-centered model of care.
