This paper explores the effect of stress on health, specifically focusing on chronic disease. A

current problem in chronic disease treatment is segmentation of treatment. Integrative and

relationship-based care solutions bring social determinants of health into the treatment plan. The

paper explores the relationship between research and medicine, focusing on integrative and

chronic disease research. Lastly, the paper utilizes a case study of a clinical research study

(MND-CKD) testing meditation as integrative intervention for chronic kidney disease. This pilot

study explores two outcomes mirroring integrative health in practice: self-reported levels of

depression, anxiety, and stress and blood pressure and found reductions in all four

measurements. The paper ultimately discusses in theory and tests in practice the application of

integrative medicine and relationship-based care in chronic disease.
