Who We Are

The Integrative Medical Group of Irvine blends the best of conventional, naturopathic, and holistic medicine, providing comprehensive, integrative healthcare for women of all ages.

Integrative Medical Group of Irvine provide a wide range of services, including physical exams and annual women’s visits, acute and chronic care, and a full spectrum of preventive and wellness care.

Because coordinated care at one site provides the best opportunity for achieving optimal health, IMGI provides:

  • Comprehensive healthcare
  • Integrative gynecology
  • Complex disease diagnosis and management
  • Advanced testing
  • Anti-aging medicine
  • Aesthetics and skincare
  • Nutrition and fitness

Additional services include naturopathy, acupuncture, massage, and IV therapy.

We believe that…

A doctor and her patient are equal partners in health. As our patient, you should fully understand and consent to all recommended treatments.
The best treatment is the most natural, least toxic treatment. Many pharmaceuticals have terrible side effects. These powerful drugs should be last resorts, not first-line treatments.
Illnesses are usually interconnected. We want you to tell us about all of your symptoms so we can treat them together.
In many cases, the body can heal itself. Your body is designed to be healthy. If you give your body what it needs, it can usually heal all on its own.
The goal of medicine is optimal health, not tolerable illness. We want you to feel amazing.
Health is an ongoing journey. As you travel through life, we will be here for you.

Dr. Felice Gersh Interview

Dr. Gersh is the medical director of IMGI and is board-certified in Integrative Medicine and OB-GYN. She is a globally-renowned expert in women’s health and complex disease management.

Why do women live longer than men? Does the ability to bear children play a role and to what extent do evolutionary forces discriminate between men and women?

In this in-depth interview Dr. Gersh explains why she “had to unlearn” about half of everything she learned at medical school calls for a fundamental “shake-up” in the delivery of health care.

HRT and Breast Cancer
Answering all your questions about the relationship between Hormone Replacement Therapy and Breast Cancer

This is one of the most common topics for questions that I get. So in today`s Instagram Live, I`m going to explore the relationship between hormones, HRT, and breast cancer.

I`ll be checking Instagram for questions so if you have any regarding breast cancer that you`d like me to address, please add them to the comments of this post.

Some questions that I`ll be sure to address:
* Does estrogen cause breast cancer?
* Does HRT cause breast cancer?
* If I have a history of breast cancer, can I go on HRT?
* If I currently have breast cancer, can I go on HRT?
* If my mom or close family member had breast cancer, can I go on HRT?

Let me know what other questions you have! And tune in for this upcoming talk!

Estradiol has amazing powers to build, repair, and rejuvenate throughout the body. It is essential to maintaining a strong, healthy brain, heart, bones, muscles, and immune system.

But when prescribing estradiol for HRT, you have to have enough to unlock these benefits. And the same growth and rejuvenation that happens throughout the body also grows the uterine lining. These functions are so connected that you can’t have one without the other.

And if you grow the uterine lining, then you must shed it monthly to avoid the risk of uterine cancer. This is one reason I give HRT hormones cyclically. It’s the only way to give ENOUGH estradiol.

This is why I tell my patients on cyclic HRT to celebrate their small monthly period. If you are growing and shedding your uterine lining in a healthy, manageable way, that indicates that your estradiol dose and regimen is growing and maintaining all of the organs and cells in your body.

If all you want to do is suppress hot flashes without having any period-like bleeding, then the standard low-dose, static approach to HRT is fine.

But if you want the full benefits of physiologic levels of hormones similar to those found in healthy, reproductive-aged women, including:
* protecting the cardiovascular system
* building and maintaining strong bones
* protecting and growing new neurons
* lowering inflammation
* suppressing cancer tumors

Then you must give the right amount of hormones and you must deliver them cyclically. And this means that every month, you will have a short, beautiful period. You will also unlock all the benefits of estradiol and progesterone so you give yourself the best chance of becoming a vibrant, optimally healthy super-ager.
