Managing nutrition, environmental exposures and allergies are central to the Clinic’s pediatric services. Nutrition provides the basis for vibrant health while growing and throughout adulthood. Environmental exposures and persistent, but subtle, allergies may have significant negative effects on a child’s health that have further repercussions as an adult. Our aim is to build lifelong healthy habits and utilize scientific diagnostics to specifically manage issues.
We also manage a significant practice in child and adolescent skin health. Conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and acne are successfully treated utilizing our skin care treatments and nutritional programs.
Pre-natal Nutrition
The right nutrition can support women and their babies through a healthy pregnancy and a great start at life after birth. Sorting through a patient’s particular needs to create an optimal environment for mom and her baby can be a big stress relief and make a pregnancy as enjoyable as possible.
Nutrition Management (Newborns through childhood and adolescence)
Good nutrition is all about making our genes express themselves in the healthiest manner possible and preventing or delaying the any negative expressions that may lead to disease and ill health. Liver sirocis, unhealthy cholesterol levels and chronic inflammation have been found in pediatric patients attending the clinic. A life without chronic disease should be a goal of for all young people, as the understanding and tools to prevent it exist.
Allergies and Asthma
The clinic has extensive experience in meeting the needs of parents trying to eliminate the effects of potential allergies. Allergies and Asthma are of significant concern to today’s parents due to increasing presence in our population. Effectively managing allergies and asthma can add to a child’s immediate and long term quality of life. Issues such as eczema, psoriasis, attention problems, digestive pain and constipation can be substantially resolved. This is accomplished through removing offending allergens and modifying the child’s diet to support an optimally functioning immune system.
Eczema and Psoriasis
Through the elimination of allergens, fortifying the digestive system and topical skin treatments the clinic has had significant success in reversing eczema and psoriasis. Mild to severe cases have been treated. Taking control of these conditions also has long term positive health benefits for the children. Eczema and psoriasis are usually conditions manifested after a child has some form of systemic inflammation. Restoring the body to a more normal status is an important part of preventing other chronic conditions from potentially occurring later in life.
