Welcome back to the People's Pharmacy Dr. Marvin Singh.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. I'm super excited to be back talking with you.

Dr. Marvin Singh, if you could give our listeners a quick overview of

integrative gastrointestinalrology, what is it? What makes it unique? And what do you do specifically as an

integrative gastrointestinalologist? Yeah, that's a great question. So, you know know integrative medicine is basically it's it's good

medicine and that's what Dr. Wild taught us on the first day of our fellowship

program where we did this training in integrated medicine. It means that we are looking

at all of the things that any other doctor would look at, making sure we're doing the workup in the way that any other doctor would do a work up,

but also paying attention to all the other things that can affect somebody's life and health

that most doctors may not actually pay attention to at all.
