Have you heard the terms holistic healing and naturopathic medicine being bandied about, yet confused as to their meaning? Don’t let them mislead you; these two medical practices differ significantly.
Holistic health practitioners utilize natural treatments and lifestyle advice to aid their patients’ healing processes, providing nutritional counseling as well as lifestyle guidance.
Dr. Dana Cohen
Contrary to traditional doctors who focus on treating symptoms, holistic practitioners take into account your whole body and environment when providing natural healing treatments that aim at healing and balancing it – this may include nutritional counseling, herbal and supplement therapy, intravenous treatments or meditation. They also employ an integrative approach which integrates traditional with alternative therapies.
Dr. Dana Cohen can assist with chronic illnesses or ongoing health concerns by applying her expertise in Functional Medicine, Holistic Healing, and Integrative Medicine to pinpointing their source. With her advanced diagnostic tools she will quickly locate effective natural solutions tailored to you specifically.

A holistic doctor will work to identify and treat the source of your illness in order to reduce recurring symptoms, which may prove challenging but ultimately worth your while in terms of improved health outcomes. They employ natural and effective methods such as diet changes, stress management techniques and physical therapy sessions in order to effectively address their patients’ issues.
She will take the time to discuss your medical history, symptoms and overall physical and emotional wellbeing before creating a custom treatment plan tailored specifically to you. In addition, Standard Process supplements contain whole food nutrients which promote digestive wellness and cellular repair while supporting immunity, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and endocannabinoid systems.
