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.

Tune in for a Mother’s Day special talk. And happy Mother’s Day to all the moms (traditional and not so traditional) out there!

If we are so lucky, our mothers live long into old age. And so often, as people age, they require the help and care of loved ones, often from their children. How does one simultaneously be their parent’s child, caregiver, and trusted friend? And how do we repay all that mom has given us at a time when she needs us, but may not want to need us?

⏰ Live Sunday, tune in for my talk.

Sunday, 5/11 at 4:00 PM Pacific
Watch live on Instagram.
Or check YouTube for the recording in a few days.

I’ve been a caregiver for both of my parents into their late nineties and for my mother-in-law, who lived to an incredible 102! I’ve also supported friends and family members as they’ve stepped into this challenging role. I’ll share what I’ve learned as both a doctor and a child-caregiver.

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

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

Loss of estradiol underlies the increase of urinary incontinence in menopause for two main reasons — loss of collagen and dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system.

Estradiol maintains the production of collagen, which is in all of the connective tissue in the body, including in and around the vagina. This is why, in menopause, pelvic health can really suffer in women. Increasing rates of stress urinary incontinence are one aspect of this.

Also, estradiol plays a critical role in the health of the autonomic nervous system. So loss of estradiol can change sensations in the bladder and in the way the brain perceives and processes the urge to urinate, which is why menopause can increase the risk for urge incontinence.
