A functional medicine wellness exam takes a comprehensive, whole-body approach to your child’s health. Unlike a standard pediatric check-up that focuses only on isolated symptoms, our functional medicine approach looks at the root causes and interactions between all body systems.
We conduct specialized lab testing that goes beyond standard panels to uncover potential issues not caught by conventional screens. Detailed health and lifestyle assessments reveal areas of dysfunction and imbalance that may be negatively impacting your child’s wellbeing.
Our pediatricians are fully trained in functional medicine and will spend extensive one-on-one time with you and your child, listening carefully to thoroughly understand health goals and challenges. They will then offer an individualized and integrated care plan utilizing both traditional and natural modalities to restore optimal wellness.
The goal of our unique functional medicine wellness exams is not merely the absence of disease, but complete mind-body health and thriving. We help children reach their full potential by addressing the root causes of any disturbances and giving parents a personalized roadmap for lifelong wellness.
