PEDIATRIC FUNCTIONAL
NUTRITION

Your child is unique, and they deserve personalized care based on their unique needs, preferences, and symptoms.

We support our pediatric clients and their families through dietary, lifestyle and therapeutic supplementation based on functional lab test findings with our team of infant and children’s health specialists.


We support children with a wide range of needs including:

  • General gut health concerns, such as loose stools and chronic constipation

  • Colic

  • Reflux

  • Eczema, hives, dermatitis, flushing, and other skin conditions

  • Picky eating

  • ADD & ADHD

  • Autism

  • PANS/PANDAS

  • Autoimmunity

  • Compromised immune function

  • Allergies & food sensitivities

  • Asthma

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Bed wetting

  • Learning disabilities

  • Mood disorders

OUR TEAM

Our team of pediatric health specialists has a combined 20 years of experience working with children. We are functional nutritionists who have been trained in gastrointestinal healing, compromised immunity, special diets, autism support, and more. We believe that gut healing is fundamental for all health concerns. Gut dysbiosis contributes to skin conditions, immune dysfunction, and imbalances in the gut-brain axis. By focusing on gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and toxic burden, we are able to significantly improve health outcomes for children and we’re committed to helping the next generation be as healthy as possible through holistic health.

You can learn more about each of our practitioners and their training here and see our success stories for pediatric clients here.

We have three pediatric packages, all of which can be customized to suit your child’s needs.

All packages include:

  • One 60-minute initial consultation

  • One 90-minute lab results and protocol review call

  • Two 30-minute follow-up calls

  • 6 months of care coverage

  • Unlimited messaging support for 24-business-hour response time

We start with an initial consultation to get to know you and your child. While we know that lab testing is crucial for understanding their health from a data perspective, we firmly believe that your little ones are far more than a set of lab results and want to take your family’s personal experience into account when creating a personalized protocol. During this call we’ll review intake paperwork, learn more about dietary preferences and patterns, and start to determine where areas of support exist. For breastfeeding children, we’ll also learn more about the diet of the mother to ensure we’re addressing all areas that may need support.

During your lab results call, we’ll review all of the test findings with you, making sure you understand what each marker represents and how it relates to their symptoms, and discuss our protocol recommendations with you. We believe that you know what’s best for your child, and we aim to educate you and provide as much information as possible so that you can decide what is best for them and implement these tools at your own pace. You’ll be provided a full protocol to include dietary, supplement and lifestyle recommendations based on their needs. Our protocols are designed to be slow, gentle, and safe for children as we take into account their age, weight, and existing conditions to ensure this process is as smooth as possible.

As you put their protocol into place, we’re always available to help answer any clarifying questions, troubleshoot, and celebrate wins with you along the way via our instant messaging system inside of our client portal. We aim to get back to you with 24 business hours to provide you the support you need in this process.

Two follow-up calls are also included in this package and can be used at any point in time. These can be useful for troubleshooting if there’s something more complex happening that requires in depth attention, to revise your child’s protocol, or to help set the stage for the rest of their life as things resolve and you want to ensure their symptoms do not arise again. If for any reason you need additional follow up calls, we can provide additional calls (however, this is not included in the price of this package).

Before signing up, we offer all clients a complimentary consult call with our founder, Deidre Bloomquist, to discuss your child’s symptoms, discuss testing options, and ensure this is a good fit for your family. We’ll answer any questions you may have about our process and the results we get with clients on this call as well. To schedule that no obligation call, please apply at the link below.
