Integrative medicine is a modern approach to healthcare that blends the best of conventional medicine with proven holistic therapies. It doesn’t just treat symptoms—it looks at the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. By focusing on the root causes of illness, rather than temporary fixes, integrative medicine supports true healing, prevention, and long-term vitality.

Across North Carolina, more people are turning to integrative care as they grow frustrated with the limitations of traditional medicine. They’re seeking doctors who will take the time to listen, investigate underlying imbalances, and create personalized, natural solutions for chronic health challenges. From managing inflammation and hormone imbalances to preventing cognitive decline and chronic disease, integrative medicine is meeting the needs of patients who want more than prescriptions—they want partnership and results.

One of the leading voices in this movement is Dr. Cynthia Libert, a board-certified family physician and certified functional medicine practitioner based in Asheville, NC. Through her clinic, Caring for the Body, PLLC – Center for Functional Medicine, Dr. Libert helps adults across North Carolina reverse chronic illness, protect brain health, balance hormones, and thrive in every stage of life.

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine is a patient-centered approach to healthcare that combines the strengths of conventional Western medicine with holistic, evidence-informed therapies. It’s not about choosing one system over another—it’s about bringing the best of both together to support healing in a more complete and lasting way.

At its core, integrative medicine recognizes that every person is unique. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all model or simply prescribing medication to manage symptoms, this approach looks deeper to uncover and address the root causes of illness. Practitioners of integrative medicine take time to understand the whole person—including genetics, lifestyle, emotional well-being, environment, and spiritual health.

Key principles of integrative medicine include:

• Personalized care that respects your unique biology and story
• Root-cause resolution, not just symptom suppression
• Whole-person healing, integrating mind, body, and spirit
• A collaborative relationship between doctor and patient
• Evidence-based use of natural therapies such as nutrition, herbal medicine, hormone balancing, detoxification, and mindfulness practices

At Caring for the Body, PLLC, Dr. Cynthia Libert applies this model to help patients across North Carolina achieve vibrant health. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or proactively optimizing your wellness, integrative medicine offers a more thoughtful, thorough, and sustainable path to healing.
