Functional Medicine For The Kiddos

Functional Medicine for the Kiddos

As a parent, you want only the best for your kiddo. You want to make sure you have made every effort to give them the best, healthiest, happiest life possible.

Illnesses that limit a child’s ability to participate in every day activities, enjoy the outdoors, interact with others and limit being a carefree child are not normal.

In today's society, there are many things that can contribute to what is limiting your child. There are toxins, genetics, food allergies, gut imbalance, hormonal and neurotransmitter imbalances, among so many other things that may be affecting your child's health.

Research shows that a large percentage of children, diagnosed with autism and ADHD, actually have a yeast overgrowth or gut imbalance that can be identified through advanced testing and corrected.

Both physical and mental health disorders are on the rise in our children.

Physical health can be limited by constant infections, constipation, headaches, rashes, obesity, autoimmune disorders, thyroid disease, allergies and asthma.

Mental health concerns that may be affecting your child include autism, ADHD, emotional outburst, depression, anxiety and behavioral disorders.

You may be reluctant to put your child on prescription medication's that will keep them from enjoying simple pleasures of childhood or maybe your child has been placed on several medication's that just don't seem to be working, giving you reason to believe there's something else that can be done.

If you have exhausted all avenues in conventional healthcare, or are you just know in your heart that there's something else going on and you would do anything to get answers that will help your child, Functional Medicine is the next step.
