What is Adaptive Medicine?
What is adaptive medicine?
At Core Naturopathics, ‘adaptive medicine’ represents a dynamic and patient centred holistic approach to healthcare that aims to maximize therapeutic benefits while optimizing individual health outcomes.
By emphasizing personalized care, the use of technology for monitoring and feedback, the integration of conventional and holistic approaches, patient empowerment, the focus on optimizing outcomes, and the importance of a collaborative relationship between the patient and practitioner; adaptive medicine offers a dynamic and personalized approach to health optimization and wellness.
Adaptive therapies build upon the principles of adaptive medicine and focus on personalized treatment options and strategies that evolve over time based on individual responses and changing health needs.
Here’s a summary of the key principles of adaptive therapies offered at Core:
Personalized Wellness: ‘Your unique needs guide our approach.’
By using functional biochemical screening to gather data on various aspects of your health, our practitioners tailor treatment plans to the unique characteristics, preferences, and responses of you as an individual. This includes considering factors such as your genetics, lifestyle, environmental influences, and personal goals to customize interventions.
Holistic Solutions: ‘Integrating natural therapies and biohacking.’
Adaptive therapies often integrate multiple treatment modalities, such as herbal medications, nutritional interventions, lifestyle modifications, mind-body practices, biohacking therapies (including hyperbaric O2, hyperthermia, ozone, hypoxic, FIR, PEMF etc) and other complementary therapies. This comprehensive approach addresses the complexity of health conditions and maximizes therapeutic benefits.
Evidence-Based Practice: ‘Real world focus and results.’
While adaptive therapies prioritize individualization, they also rely on scientific evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences to inform treatment decisions. This ensures that interventions are both effective and safe.
Patient Centred Care: ‘Your health as the priority.’
Like adaptive medicine, adaptive therapies place you at the centre of care, emphasizing collaboration, education, and empowerment. You are actively involved in decision-making processes and encouraged to take ownership of your health.
Dynamic Monitoring: ‘Real-time feedback for tailored care.’
Adaptive therapies involve ongoing assessment of treatment efficacy, safety, and tolerability. This includes regular monitoring of biomarkers, symptoms, and patient-reported outcomes to guide adjustments and refinements to the treatment plan. These therapies may optionally extend to involve continuous monitoring via wearables. This allows for timely modifications to optimize effectiveness and minimize adverse effects.
Integrative Approach: ‘the best of both worlds.’
Adaptive therapies embrace an integrative approach that combines conventional medical knowledge with holistic and natural healing modalities. Biohacking devices complement this approach by providing objective data to support naturopathic assessments and interventions.
Your Partner in Health: ‘Collaborating to achieve your goals.’
Adaptive therapies recognize that health conditions and individual responses can be dynamic and unpredictable. Therefore, treatment plans are designed to be flexible and adaptable, capable of accommodating changes and optimizing outcomes over time.
Overall, by leveraging technology to gather data, monitor progress, and refine treatment protocols, our practitioners can provide tailored and effective care that addresses your unique needs while promoting self-regulation and assisting in your journey to optimal health and well-being.
