In this show, I discuss with Allyson Chrystal and Guillermo Ruiz a variety of ways to collaboratively reduce the barriers to one's wellness and more specifically, what exactly will the future "integrative" family medicine clinic look like?

What types of providers should be involved?

What kinds of therapies should be available? 

Is this even possible?

And lastly, who is actually running the show?
