What Is Integrative Gynecology?
The female reproductive organs, the primary focus of gynecology, are intimately connected to every other organ system in the body through estrogen and other hormones. In addition to reproduction, estrogen controls energy utilization throughout the body and is key to brain health, heart health, digestive health, proper weight control, and immune system health. Consequently, gynecological health impacts whole-body health and vice versa. Given this interconnected complexity, it only makes sense to view gynecologic issues in an integrative, whole-body manner.
