It feels like #alternativehealth practices like "functional medicine" are everywhere lately. But what does it mean, and is it legit? At its core, functional medicine is a holistic, patient-centered approach to understanding the root causes of chronic disease. Like any health practice, #alternativemedicine is best adopted with your medical doctor's stamp of approval, and choosing a credible provider is key to avoiding misinformation and risks to your health. For many patients though, a well-informed #holistic approach provides a greater sense of overall wellness and ownership of their health. Our verdict? When handled responsibly, alternative medicine can be a positive complement to your existing medical care plan.

Why do all Opear house calls start with a telemedicine appointment? This helps your doctor prepare the necessary supplies or tests and take all proper safety precautions. Bonus: if you and your provider decide that a face-to-face follow-up isn't necessary, it saves you money!

Opear's #telehealth experience is more personal at every step - choose your own provider and appointment time, receive a direct video call, and even request a face-to-face follow-up at home. Download the app for free at www.opear.com.
