Speaker Bio:
Wayne Jonas, MD is executive director of Samueli Integrative Health Programs and an expert in integrative health and healthcare delivery, wants to shift the healthcare paradigm. In his recent lecture, “How Healing Works, and What It Means for Health Care,” Dr. Jonas presents his view that a patient’s journey to wellness goes beyond symptom suppression and pharmacological approaches. Presented as part of the Grand Rounds Lecture Series from IFM in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, this lecture discusses the benefits of using an integrative healthcare model that addresses what Dr. Jonas calls “personal determinants of healing,” or lifestyle factors that the patient needs in order to wholly and fully heal. He applies his methodology to two case studies: a patient with chronic pain and another with heart disease. Neither has seen long-term improvements in health from the myriad prescriptions they’ve used throughout the course of their diseases. Dr. Jonas recounts their healing journey and how sustainable lifestyle changes brought them closer to their health goals.
