Can anyone recommend a GP who is oriented towards a holistic practice and also takes insurance?

I have a GP now at Mt. Auburn Hospital. She's ok but is a bit quick to prescribe and tends towards being reactive/symptom oriented. Ex: recently I had my yearly physical and got a form letter from her with the standard stuff checked off @ test results. One thing - apparently my "bad" cholesterol is a bit higher than it should be and she had written a note to the effect that it was not yet in the range that should be treated by medication.

I thought - "ok, cool, I guess" but then I thought back to that note a day later and it occurred to me that since my cholesterol has always been in the low range, it might have made sense to ask some other questions- like if there have been changes in my diet, routines, etc. I imagine it's pretty tough practicing within the whole medical machine but I would kind of like to work with someone who is more proactive and holistic in outlook.
