Children's Health

Functional Direct Primary Care

We take a comprehensive approach to children’s health through functional and integrative medicine. This means we not only address symptoms but also dig deep to uncover the root causes of your child’s health concerns. By considering factors like nutrition, environment, genetics, and lifestyle, we develop a personalized plan that supports your child’s overall well-being and long-term health.

Why Functional and Integrative Medicine for Children? Children’s bodies are rapidly growing and changing, making early intervention essential for lifelong health. Whether it’s chronic conditions, digestive issues, behavioral challenges, or weight concerns, our approach ensures that each child receives the care they need. Integrative medicine adds the benefit of combining conventional treatments with natural therapies to offer the most well-rounded care.

Services We Offer

Nutritional Support & Counseling: Proper nutrition is key to growth and development. We address nutrient deficiencies and create personalized plans that may include dietary adjustments, supplements, and advice for balanced meals to help your child thrive.
Weight Management for Children: We focus on balancing your child’s metabolic health through a tailored approach that includes nutrition, physical activity, and addressing any underlying hormonal or nutrient imbalances that could affect weight gain or loss.
Integrative Skincare: Skin issues like acne, eczema, and rashes can affect children, too. Our integrative approach combines natural skincare products with medical-grade treatments while addressing internal factors like allergies, gut health, and nutritional deficiencies to support healthy skin from within.
Digestive Health: Digestive issues such as food sensitivities, bloating, or irregular bowel movements are common in children. Through functional medicine testing and gut-health-focused treatments, we help restore balance and improve digestion.
Allergy and Immune Support: Allergies, frequent colds, or autoimmune issues can significantly impact your child’s quality of life. Our integrative approach strengthens the immune system by identifying triggers, supporting gut health, and using both conventional and natural therapies to boost immune function.
ADHD & Behavioral Health: We treat ADHD and behavioral issues holistically by evaluating diet, sleep, and environmental factors. We offer personalized support plans that may include nutritional changes, stress management techniques, and natural supplements to help improve focus and behavior.
Chronic Conditions: Whether your child is dealing with asthma, eczema, or other long-term conditions, we look for underlying causes, such as inflammation or hormonal imbalances, and treat them through both conventional and functional medicine.
Preventive Care: We provide regular wellness check-ups designed to catch potential health issues early. Preventive care includes guidance on nutrition, physical activity, and stress management, all tailored to promote long-term health.

The Benefits of Functional Medicine in Pediatric Care

Personalized Care

Conventional medicine often follows a one-size-fits-all approach, whereas integrative and functional medicine recognizes that each child is unique and requires individualized care. This means your child receives a tailored treatment plan designed specifically for their unique needs.

Root Cause Identification

Functional medicine goes beyond symptom management and delves into the root causes of health conditions. By identifying and addressing these causes, long-lasting improvements can be achieved.

Whole-Person Approach

We recognize that physical, emotional, and mental health are interconnected and work together to create a healthy body and mind.

Prevention and Wellness

Pediatric functional medicine isn’t just about addressing health problems; it’s also about optimizing wellness. This focus on prevention helps ensure your child’s long-term health and vitality.

Collaboration and Communication

We work closely with families and other healthcare professionals. They encourage open communication and ensure everyone is on the same page regarding your child’s care.

Natural and Safe Interventions

We use a range of more natural, holistic changes where possible to promote healing and minimize the risk of side effects.

Nutritional and Lifestyle Support

We place a strong emphasis on the role of nutrition and lifestyle in children’s health. Studies have shown that changes in diet and lifestyle can have a significant impact on children’s health outcomes.

Comprehensive Testing

Another part of holistic care is utilizing a wide array of tests to gather data on your child’s health, from blood work and genetic testing to evaluating gut microbiota. These tests provide valuable insights for crafting effective treatment plans.

Through the combination of functional, integrative, and conventional treatments, we work with you and your child to build a foundation for a lifetime of health and well-being.
