Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author, and dynamic speaker, proposes that the confusion about health the pandemic caused has led to the positive effect of people taking greater charge of their health and wellbeing while demanding more holistic and integrative therapies.

ROCKVILLE, MD. May 11, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “The Year of Integrative Health, ” in which Dr. Rosa announces that Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM) has declared 2022 the Year of Integrative Health.

Dr. Rosa writes, “Without question, the pandemic has been the cause of tremendous confusion about our healthcare system and medical care in general.” He goes on to add, “As one writer put it, “the pandemic (is) spurring a hunger for answers and options that improve overall wellbeing and prevent serious illness.”

“The good news,” says Dr. Rosa, “is that all the confusion has had a positive effect. It’s led to a shift that has consumers looking for ways to take greater charge when it comes to their health. As a result,” he states, “the demand for holistic, complementary, integrative, and alternative therapies is rising. In fact, recent figures show that nearly 40% of Americans are turning to integrative treatments for their health concerns. This includes nutritional supplements, chiropractic care and meditation.”

Dr. Rosa states, “This is music to my ears for so many reasons. First and foremost,” he writes, “is that greater numbers of people are becoming more attuned to their bodies, and they are demanding a seamless approach to “whole person” care.” He goes on to state, “This is causing a shift in the educational system as well. According to one article, “From University of Miami on the east coast to University of California Irvine on the west, some of the nation’s largest and most prestigious medical schools have added tracks dedicated to natural healing while the number of schools focused exclusively on integrative health and medicine continues to expand. The number of medical schools dedicated exclusively to the practice of integrative medicine is also on rise, like the Whole Health School of Medicine and Sciences recently founded by Walmart heir Alice Walton in Bentonville, Ark.” https://www.healthcarebusinesstoday.com/this-is-the-year-of-integrative-health/

Dr. Rosa also addresses the fact that some “forward thinking” insurance companies are also meeting the demand.
