  • Alternative Healthcare Providers in the US Market Size in 2021 was Valued at USD $20.0 billion

  • The Alternative Healthcare Providers Industry’s US Market Size Growth was 2.5% in 2021

  • The Alternative Healthcare Providers in the US Annualized a Market Size Growth Rate of Approximately 2.2% Between 2016 and 2021

The global complementary and alternative medicine market (commonly known as the integrative health industry) was valued at approximately USD $82.3 billion in 2020- a figure which is projected to expand exponentially at a CAGR of roughly 22.00% between 2021 and 2028.

The market’s projected proliferation is a direct result of certain regulatory changes that will likely be introduced on a global level- in conjunction with a plethora of diversified government initiatives.

Such initiatives are predicted to supplement the participation of the current industry providers according to field analysts- indubitably ‘’opening up’’ the accessibility of integrative medicine. This is because government schemes will likely play a vital role in propelling the industry’s holistic reliability- and consequently consumer demand.

They can also be used to directly influence government funding (particularly in regards to facilities), as well as in releasing adequate, efficacious guidelines so as to ensure complementary and alternative medicine is appropriated correctly on nation-wide levels.

Another area that is looking quite optimistic for the industry in the next couple of years is the sphere of Medical Tourism. The vast majority of the current alternative medicine colossals- including Dr. Stephen Cabral, Dr. Mark Hyman, and Dr. Rhonda Patrick have categorised this as very valuable, as it could potentially allow traditionally ‘’hopeless’’ individuals to seek (and attain) world-class integrative, natural-health protocols.

This has already somewhat started happening; for example, the Indian government has made a couple of very noteworthy contributions in order to propel the development and normalization of non-traditional medical facilities.

Integrative Medicine: How Does it Differ?

According to Dr. Cabral, the sphere of integrative health is an excellent example of the vital importance of a robust, personal relationship between ‘’patient and practitioner’’ in achieving an optimal degree of healing and rejuvenation.

Unlike some of the aforementioned ‘’alternative’’ methods of medicine, integrative medicine adopts a more supplementary role- adding on to a person’s already existing health care.

Consequently, it is said to be highly based on scientific research, clinical data, and statistics.

Dr. Stephen Cabral: A Further Overview

Dr. Stephen Cabral is a Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy & prominent integrative health practitioner. He is best known for creating the largest, global Functional Medicine company called EquiLife in addition to his board-recognized, Health Coaching Certification Program called the Intergative Health Practitioner Institute. In addition, he has a top-rated alternative health podcast called The Cabral Concept and authored the Best Selling Book titled ‘’The Rain Barrel Effect’’.

Quite astonishingly, Stephen’s inherent passion for and dedication to the natural health industry is a direct result of his own past. At 17 years of age, he started going through severe health complications.

After experimenting with over one hundred different treatment protocols and visiting over 50 different doctors, his hope to one day recover was starting to seem pragmatically unfeasible.

This is where he was initially introduced to an ‘’alternative’’ medicine doctor; this doctor delineated for him exactly how he got to his deteriorated state, and- perhaps more importantly, exactly how he could recover.

This experience is actually credited for initiating Dr. Cabral’s interest to pursue a career as a Doctor of Naturopathy to this day, as it inspired him to work diligently to ensure that one day he could share what he had learned to work with countless others who were struggling with their own health issues.

Nowadays, Dr. Cabral has operated in the field for almost two decades- organising a prolific amount of global internships, certifications, and attaining his own Doctoral degree in Naturopathy.

By reading thousands of books, studying all over the world, and overseeing over 250,000 client appointments at Equi.Life, Dr. Cabral has seen what actually works and has combined ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with state-of-the-art functional medicine to give people a proven strategy to rebalance their bodies and experience optimal health.
