Childhood Wellness Initiative

Childhood Wellness Initiative was started due to a growing concern of our patients who are also concerned parents regarding topics like obesity, anxiety, gastrointestinal issues, PCOS, darkening of skin to back of neck and skin folds, diagnoses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, allergies and sensitivities chronic fatigue syndrome. We developed a program that integrates traditional and modern medical approaches with functional and integrative diagnostic testing to assess a child’s health holistically. Unlike conventional care, which often follows standardized protocols, pediatric functional medicine considers the interplay of factors like biochemical factors, the gut microbiota, and environmental factors to create individualized treatment plans.

Children often affected are those but not limited to:

  • C-section birth
  • Use of frequent antibiotics for strep throat, ear infections, etc
  • Traumatic childhood experiences
