A naturopathic physician, a functional medicine MD, and an integrative NP looking at the same patient will often reach for different treatments first - not because they disagree on the underlying science, but because none of their training gave them a decision hierarchy for \u003cem\u003ewhen\u003c\/em\u003e to intervene, only lists of \u003cem\u003ewhat\u003c\/em\u003e to consider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGetting to Why: Logic in Medical Decision-Making\u003c\/em\u003e first challenges the reader to reconsider common medical assumptions that rest upon fallacious reasoning. From there, it gives practitioners of all specialties a decision framework for chronic disease that doesn't depend on already knowing the diagnosis. It assumes the reader already has a working knowledge of physiology and pathophysiology, and provides a heuristic for finding root cause and building a personalized treatment plan from there - rather than defaulting to standard-of-care algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGetting to Why\u003c\/em\u003e is a clinical reasoning text built around the therapeutic order - an eight-level framework that sequences care from root-cause identification and removal through palliation. The therapeutic order reframes the clinical question from \"what should I do for this diagnosis\" to \"what does this patient's physiology need first, and why\" - treating the body as a self-regulating system to be supported in sequence, not a set of symptoms to be matched against a list of interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nature Cure Family Health\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798182745277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d","brand":"Lauren Deville","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53459239469237,"sku":"9798182745277","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9798182745277.jpg?v=1791297872","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/getting-to-why-logic-in-medical-decision-making-9798182745277","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
