In this episode of the IBS Freedom Podcast, we dive into the polarizing world of conventional and holistic medicine. We discuss the extreme stances often taken by both sides and emphasize the importance of a balanced, moderate approach. Conventional medicine isn't inherently evil, and it has its place, especially in acute or emergency situations.
Simultaneously, holistic approaches can be very beneficial but can often lead to fear-mongering and disordered eating if taken to the extreme. We share personal experiences and practical advice on when to consider conventional interventions, such as antibiotics or PPIs, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan while maintaining a strong foundation in holistic health practices. Join us as we aim to dispel myths and encourage a compassionate, open-minded approach to healthcare.
