Integrative Medicine in London
The Optimal Healer
Imagine a world where conventional care, lifestyle changes, and holistic approaches converge seamlessly to transform lives. Welcome to integrative medicine/health, a groundbreaking approach offered by Harvey Young Advanced Holistic Therapy that redefines the way we approach chronic and complex medical conditions.
Integrative medicine is no ordinary healthcare model—it’s an evidence-based powerhouse that draws from a diverse toolbox of therapies and techniques. From chiropractic care and mindfulness coaching to light-based therapy and balanced nutrition, this approach encompasses a wide array of options to support your journey to optimal health. And that’s just the beginning! The possibilities are endless, making this a tailored experience that suits every unique individual and circumstance.
What sets this holistic approach apart is its recognition that health isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s about empowering you, in collaboration with your healthcare professional, to explore and find what works best for your well-being. Holistic therapies and a focus on self-care enable you to take control of your well-being like never before.
The Core Principles of Integrative Medicine
- Embrace the Healing Journey as Partners: Patients and practitioners collaborate in the process of healing.
- Holistic Consideration of Well-being: Every aspect influencing health, wellness, and disease—mind, body, spirit and environment—is carefully taken into account.
- Optimal Healing through Diverse Approaches: Utilise conventional, complementary and alternative methods to activate the body’s inherent healing capabilities.
- Natural and Less Invasive Interventions: Prioritise effective approaches that are gentle and minimally intrusive whenever viable.
- Balancing Conventional and Alternative Therapies: Integrative medicine neither dismisses conventional medicine nor blindly adopts alternative therapies—it discerningly harmonises both.
- The Foundation of Good Medicine: Grounded in solid scientific principles, fostering curiosity, and remaining open to evolving paradigms.
- Focus on Promotion and Prevention: Health promotion and illness prevention stand side by side in this approach, aiming for a comprehensive well-being strategy.
- Practitioners as Exemplars of Integrity: Uphold and embody the principles of integrative health, dedicating themselves to continuous self-discovery and growth.

- Multi System: Overcoming cravings, battling diminished willpower, and irritability stand out as the primary challenges in quitting smoking or addressing addiction. These factors frequently contribute to relapses. Our approach combines integrative care and lifestyle medicine with the application of photobiomodulation on acupuncture points—eliminating the need for needles. This combined method independently boosts endorphin levels and overall health of our patients.The cumulative effect diminishes or eradicates typical physical cravings, making it easier for patients to muster the willpower needed, improving underlying health conditions such as digestion, sleep, anxiety, depression and enhancing the likelihood of successfully addressing addiction in the long term.
