FUNCTIONAL AND INTEGRATIVE PEDIATRIC CONSULTATIONS

We look for the root causes of ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, autism spectrum disorder, and PANS/PANDAS/BGE as well as for symptoms like sleep disturbances, irritability and anger, difficulty focusing or concentrating, hyperactivity, impulsivity,  fatigue, and restlessness.

After getting a comprehensive history, we will use targeted labs to identify factors that may be affecting your child’s overall health.  These can be as simple as routine tests to look for iron deficiency to more complex testing. We will work together to find the most cost-effective way to get tests done.

We will get a detailed history of your child’s past and current nutrition and determine if any diet alterations might help address root causes of your child’s issues. Though we will always aim to use real food to fill in gaps, there may be times when we will need to use dietary supplements.  

Good sleep is critical to well-being.  We will dig into what is and isn’t working and come up with a plan to hopefully get your child (and you!) sleeping better so that everyone feels rested.

Moving our bodies is not only important for physical health but is also vital to our mental health.  We will assess your child’s physical activity and work together to create a plan that includes activities they love and enjoy and that work for your family.

We will assess factors that may be resulting in poor absorption of nutrients and work to improve gut health, which goes hand-in-hand with physical and emotional health.
