CW Vol 2 Ed. 18 - Your Whole Health: Exploring Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)
Caring for your whole self—body, mind, and spirit—is at the heart of our Constructing Wellness Program. We’re excited to introduce Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and our new partnership with SoulBeing—bringing access to whole-body care right to you. With this expanded benefit, you and your household have easy access to CAM services that help you feel stronger, manage stress, and boost overall well-being—available to our entire team, not just those on our health plan!
What is CAM?
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) refers to a wide variety of healing practices that are used alongside (complementary) or in place of (alternative) conventional Western medicine. CAM focuses on addressing health from multiple angles—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—often relying on time-tested traditions from around the world.
Common CAM practices include:
Acupuncture
Chiropractic care
Massage therapy
Herbal medicine
Yoga & meditation
Nutritional counseling
Energy healing (e.g., Reiki, qigong)
Meet SouBeing
As part of our Constructing Wellness Program, we’ve partnered with SoulBeing (soulbeing.com/cpm-constructors/) to provide you a vetted network of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) providers offering services in your local area across over 60 evidence-based care categories. SoulBeing providers are unique, offering specialized treatments and therapies designed to help you achieve whole-person health on your own terms.
The one-size-fits-all healthcare system of recent decades has not served us well, and with rising healthcare costs and declining overall health outcomes in our communities, the time for change is now.
SoulBeing is reimagining access to healthcare and wellness services that allows you to design an overall healthcare strategy that works for you today and evolves with your changing needs throughout your lifetime.
Holistic? Functional? CAM? Here's the Difference
While these approaches often overlap, here’s how they are distinct:
CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine): A broad category of therapies used outside conventional medicine, either to complement standard treatments or as alternatives. CAM includes individual modalities like acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and herbal medicine.
Holistic Medicine: A philosophy of care that considers the whole person—body, mind, spirit, and emotions. Holistic medicine can include CAM therapies but also integrates conventional treatments, emphasizing balance, prevention, and wellness.
Functional Medicine: A systems-based approach within holistic care that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease. Functional medicine often uses advanced diagnostic testing, nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and CAM therapies but works within a scientific, evidence-based framework.
In short:
CAM is a collection of therapies.
Holistic is the philosophy behind whole-person care.
Functional medicine is a specific medical model that often uses both CAM and conventional tools.
All of these approaches work together to give you more options for your health journey.

CW Vol 2 Ed. 17 - What is Holistic Health? Understanding the Big Picture of Your Well-Being
Holistic health is an approach to wellness that treats the whole person, not just symptoms or disease. It recognizes that your body, mind, emotions, lifestyle, environment, and relationships are all interconnected—and that your well-being depends on how all of those systems function together. Instead of only focusing on fixing what’s broken, holistic care supports the idea that health means thriving, not just surviving.
How It Works: More Than Just Medicine
Holistic care often blends the best of both worlds—modern medicine and complementary therapies. It may involve:
Routine medical care and diagnostics;
Massage, acupuncture, or chiropractic;
Nutritional support and herbal remedies;
Mindfulness, breathing techniques, or body movement; and
Coaching for sleep, stress, or life balance.
Providers trained in holistic or integrative care take time to understand your goals, routines, stress levels, and emotional well-being. The result? A personalized wellness plan that fits you—not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Why It Matters: The Science and Strategy Behind Holistic Care
Holistic health is rooted in science showing how closely the mind and body are connected. Stress alone can weaken your immune system, disrupt sleep, and increase your risk for chronic conditions. Holistic care addresses root causes, not just symptoms, using tools like nutrition, movement, and mindfulness to restore balance and resilience.
You may recall from our April 2nd newsletter that functional medicine is one form of holistic care. It uses advanced testing to identify specific imbalances, while broader holistic health combines this with therapies like massage, acupuncture, and stress reduction to support whole-person wellness.
The goal? Proactive care that helps you stay balanced, strong, and ready for life’s demands.
What to Expect: A Different Kind of Care
When you try holistic care, don’t expect a 5-minute appointment and a quick fix. Instead, you’ll likely experience:
Longer, more in-depth visits;
A focus on prevention and sustainable habits;
Questions about your lifestyle factors—like how you eat, sleep, move, and manage stress;
Tools to help you take an active role in your health;
Holistic care is about adding tools to your wellness toolbox, not replacing what already works. You don’t need to give up your regular doctor.
For the Guys: Holistic Health Means Mental Health, Too
Holistic health isn’t just about stretching or supplements—it’s about caring for your entire self, including your mental and emotional health. That part often gets overlooked, especially by men who are used to powering through stress or brushing off emotional strain. But here’s the truth: your mind is just as important as your muscles when it comes to staying well, focused, and energized—especially in demanding work environments.
If the idea of talking about mental health feels awkward or unfamiliar, check out Man Therapy. It’s a resource built for men who want straightforward, stigma-free tools for handling everything from stress and anxiety to anger, grief, and relationship struggles.
“It’s therapy… with a mustache.”
Whether you’re feeling off, overloaded, or just want to check in with yourself, holistic health starts with awareness and support—and Man Therapy delivers that in a way that’s easy to relate to.
Remember, no medical advice here, just tips for a healthier lifestyle! Consult with healthcare professionals before starting any new health regimen.
