Pediatric Functional Medicine
What is Pediatric Functional Medicine?
In the first few years of life, a child goes through many changes in brain development, microbiome assembly (which aids in the development of the immune system), as well as physical, psychological and emotional growth. Pediatric functional medicine is essential for early recognition of health issues that may be hindering growth and development.
Kimberly Cabe, FNP-BC and our team of experts use a family-centered, whole-body approach that addresses imbalances and underlying triggers that influence your child’s health, rather than just treating the symptoms of a condition. We work to get to the root-cause of the condition, eliminate the triggers, and heal the body from within.
