More Americans are turning to holistic health care, with 37% seeking alternative treatments like acupuncture and yoga, up from 19% two decades ago. This trend is particularly strong among those over 55, who often do not inform their doctors. The COVID-19 pandemic heightened interest in holistic approaches, as many sought deeper insights into their health. Patients are increasingly dissatisfied with traditional medicine's focus on symptoms rather than root causes, prompting a shift toward preventative care. Advanced diagnostic technologies are making holistic health more accessible. Facilities like Access Medical Labs offer comprehensive testing that identifies underlying health issues, requiring less blood and providing faster results, thus meeting growing demand for personalized health solutions.
