What Integrative Medicine Means at YNC

Integrative Medicine is a combination of conventional medicine along with functional medicine aimed at healing illness, supporting longevity, preventing disease, and overall improved well-being. It is an approach led by doctors to determine how your body systems work together, not in isolation.

At YNC, our doctors track your body’s patterns using data to find the cause of your concerns. We combine advanced functional testing with some basic conventional testing to create a personalized plan for you based on lab results, VO2Max testing, and personal history. We take into account your genetics and lifestyle risks to construct your personalized plan.

 

 

Core Principles of Integrative Medicine at YNC

YNC’s integrative medicine approach is based on four core principles so that your care is personalized and results-focused:

Collaborative Care

We see you as part of our health care team .. You bring your goals and story. We bring science, strategy, and support. Together, we figure out what is actually wrong and what things you will need to improve your health, longevity, and vitality.

Whole-Person Care

Hormones, sleep habits, stress, diet, genetics, and environmental factors all affect how you feel. We look at your health from every angle to understand your body and focus on the factors that matter most.

Evidence-Based Integration

The therapies we recommend are backed by proven, replicable results from scientific research and data. We focus on what works instead of trends, so that your treatment plan has a clear purpose.

Root-Cause Healing

Our goal isn’t to just mask problems. Functional medicine focuses on aiding your body to heal naturally so you can enjoy lasting vitality.

Take the First Step Toward Better Health

The Science Behind Integrative Medicine 

Integrative medicine integrates the diagnostic accuracy of conventional medicine with nutritional support, mind-body practices, and personalized lifestyle guidance.

This coordinated and evidence-based approach addresses the causes of your health issues instead of just symptoms, supporting your long-term health.

Here’s how integrative medicine differs from other approaches:

Aspect Conventional Medicine Holistic Care Only Integrative or Naturopathic Medicine
Focus Treat symptoms and disease Natural approaches Root causes and treats the whole person using both conventional and natural therapies
Testing Standard lab tests, imaging Practitioner dependent, meaning not all alternative practitioners are doctors Advanced diagnostics combined with holistic assessment
Treatment Medications, procedures, surgery Supplements and physical medicine therapies limited to the training of the individual Use everything in the doctor’s toolbox: medications, herbs, nutrients, IVs, peptides, regenerative injections
Goal Manage disease Support wellness and avoid medications Heal from disease, restore balance and optimize health
Approach One-size-fits-all Practitioner dependent Evidence-based, collaborative, long-term focus

 

People who receive integrative care often experience improvements like:

For example, a 12-week integrative program for cancer patients resulted in nearly 50% fewer emergency visits and reduced fatigue, anxiety, and depression.

Across 18 outpatient clinics, 90% of studies showed improvements in quality of life or overall health.

Patient Testimonial: 

“Dr. Young is a top notch professional – an ideal combination of great knowledge, skills and broad spectrum of naturopathic diagnostic methodologies and treatments, as well as a phenomenal personality that is required to be effective and successful with her patients – a doctor I was looking for years around the world and I have finally found in Los Gatos, CA. For the past three years she’s been treating me, my husband, our teenage daughter and a number of our friends and relatives with great success. I highly recommend her to anyone whose interest and needs go beyond the conventional – “symptom masking” – approach, but also to anyone who is looking for a fast working, effective, non-invasive remedy to almost any medical problem – from the smallest to a major one.”

FAQs

Is Integrative Medicine Covered By Insurance?
YNC operates as a direct-care (cash-based) practice, which means we don’t bill insurance directly. But you can submit your consultation or lab work for out-of-network reimbursement. We work hard to get the best rates on labs and do not collect fees for outside lab services. Check with your insurance carrier before your visit if you would like to confirm coverage.
How is This Different From My Regular Doctor?
Traditional care focuses on managing symptoms. We use advanced diagnostics to identify root-cause imbalances across your body’s systems, then treat them with a personalized treatment plan.
Do I Need a Referral?
No referral is needed. You can simply schedule a consultation with us directly.
How Long Until I See Results?
It depends on your condition. Some of our treatments will provide immediate benefits. Many people notice improvements in energy, sleep, or mood within a few weeks, while metabolic or hormonal changes may take several months. Some of our treatments will provide immediate benefits. We provide realistic timelines during your consultation based on your situation, and your doctor at YNC can give you better insight based on your case.
Can I Continue My Current Medications?
Absolutely. We make sure your integrative plan works safely with any medications you’re already on. We also keep an eye out for any possible interactions so everything works together.
What Conditions Do You Treat?
Our three doctors and support staff treat tour patients with chronic fatigue, chronic infections (long haulers, Lyme, co-infection and chronic viral issues) hormonal imbalances (PCOS, Hashimotos, Peri-menopauce, Menopause and Male Androgen decline), digestive issues (IBS, IBD, SIBO and other infections), autoimmune conditions, stress, sleep problems, and more. Even if you’re healthy, integrative medicine helps you stay ahead of potential issues and sustain long-term performance. Using genetic and polygenic risk scores, we can often predict disease before it hits.
