This option is designed to support practitioners interested in working with pediatric clients who feel they are lacking the skills and knowledge to do so safely and confidently. This option includes two sessions to cover some of the basics of working with children, in addition to therapeutic supplementation and testing strategy. 

NOTE: Attendees are expected to have an existing background in education for the interpretation of functional testing. All attendees must send their certification or degree (NTP, RD, ND, RN, DC, etc) to deidre@always-growing.com in order to receive access to both session of the masterclass.

This masterclass includes two call recordings. The first class recording is 90-minutes and covers the following:

• Blood sugar management

• Tips for picky eaters

• Concerns about nutritional intake

• Creating a whole-foods approach to nutrition for children

• Potential foods to consider for elimination

• Strategies for supporting eczema

• Constipation relief

• Supporting healthy sleep habits

• Gentle supplements for children including digestive aids, gut healing, supporting detoxification and drainage, and therapeutic nutrient replenishment

• Dosage guidance and tips for helping children take supplements (even when they can’t swallow capsules)

The second call recording is 2 hours in length. During this call we discuss what we see most effective with our pediatric clients, including therapeutic supplementation, eradication strategies, and clinical pearls for working with children. Note that we will not be teaching interpretation of stool or other functional tests, only discussing presentations and strategies specific to pediatrics. 

Topics to be covered for practitioners include:

• How to assess children’s health effectively

• Understanding scope or practice and referring to outside modalities

• Importance of oral function & red flags
