What Is Family Medicine Really About?
At Cutler Integrative Medicine, we find the best scientifically validated therapies from both conventional and alternative systems to address the whole individual, encompassing the physical, psychological, social, environmental, mental, and spiritual aspects of health and illness.
All of the therapies on this page are used in Naturopathic care but have nothing to do with being medically trained as a Naturopathic Physician. MD’s/DO’s can take weekend courses in these modalities, and the public can take certifications in natural and holistic therapies, but they all lack the specialty and extensive training as a Naturopathic Physician. It is the naturopathic doctor’s role to remove barriers to good health by helping to create a healing internal and external environment.

What is Complementary and Alternative Medicine?
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) in Michigan is a collection of varied medical and health care systems, treatments, and products that are not regarded as part of conventional medicine or not integrated into the dominant health care paradigm.
Conventional medicine (Western or allopathic medicine) is practiced by MDs (medical doctors) and DOs (doctors of osteopathic medicine) and by other health professionals, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, physical therapists, and nurses.
What is Holistic Medicine?
Holistic medicine takes a comprehensive approach to healing by addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just focusing on symptoms or isolated conditions. This philosophy emphasizes that true health and well-being are achieved by maintaining harmony and balance in all areas of life, including physical health, emotional well-being, mental clarity, spiritual connection, and lifestyle choices. By treating the root cause of illness and promoting preventive care, holistic medicine empowers individuals to take an active role in their health journey and achieve lasting vitality.

What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine looks at the intricate functions of our organ systems and the interrelationships they have as a whole. Many chiropractors, as well as other MDs, like to call their approach Functional Medicine. While this is a step in the right direction, it does not approach the scope of a Naturopathic Physician. Our modality considers the vine-like connectedness of interactions that occur along nutritional, digestive, detoxification, energy metabolism, hormonal, structural, and immune/inflammatory pathways.
Health is only about 20% inherited by your genes (Genomics) and 80% environmental through your diet and lifestyle (Nutrigenomics). We take a proactive approach to your health rather than a reactive (conventional medicine) approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Holistic and Conventional Medicine difference?
Holistic and Alternative Medicine are patient-centered. Not all holistic practitioners spend an hour with their patients the way a Naturopathic Doctor does. Nevertheless, they focus on the patient as a whole, including their stress level, diet, and lifestyle habits.
Our first principle is to do no harm, and our objective is to find the main cause, not just treat the symptoms. We also believe in more natural and safe methods of healing, and we only use pharmaceuticals when absolutely necessary.
Can I use Alternative and Holistic Medicine while having a primary care physician?
No. This can be dangerous and misleading as Naturopaths receive only months of training. Naturopaths can receive training from many sources, even online, that may result in a certificate or specialty in a form of alternative medicine. This can be a public safety issue if they are represented as Doctors when their education lacks the medical training.
Can I take medication with natural drugs?
