Back in September, we wrote about what a holistic doctor does that a general practitioner doesn't do. This big difference is this: western medicine, which your GP falls under, treats the disease, while holistic medicine treats the whole person. 

That's the admittedly oversimplified explanation, which is why we thought we'd share some insightful words from Dr. Daphne Goldberg, since she practices both holistic/integrative medicine and family medicine.
