Packing Nutritious School Lunch

Sun, Sep 08, 2019

Does your child bring a packed lunch to school? Unfortunately many school systems do not have healthy options for our children and packing their lunch is the only way we can be sure they are receiving the nutrients...

Integrative Pediatrics

One prescription does not fit all, especially for your child. We customize vaccine schedules, scrutinize antibiotic treatments and offer time-tested home remedies, minus side effects. Integrative Pediatrics takes a holistic approach to your child. Their environment, nutrition, mental health all play a role in their development and over all health. We believe in looking into and evaluating all of these areas and the uniqueness of your child to develop the best treatment plans. We are a primary care practice that sees well visits, sick visits as well as autism, ADHD, mental health, behavior, GI disturbances, auto-immune conditions and more.

Nutritional Counseling

Proper nutrition is vital to maintaining optimal health. There is countless evidence on the power of diet and food. As a result, diet is an integral part of many of the treatment plans designed in office. This may include supplements, vitamins, food allergies, etc.

Acupuncture

Dr Jacobs has received expert medical acupuncture training. She sees children and adults treating anxiety, GI upset, pain, migraines, etc. Acupuncture is often incorporated into office visits, however, patients are also welcome to see her solely for acupuncture treatments.

Specialized Testing

We offer blood draws, including specialty labs, in a safe, kid-friendly, environment with pediatric expert phlebotomists. Many treatments can be given in office including intramuscular allergy or antibiotic injections for children when oral medications are difficult. We used evidence-based, comprehensive tools for food allergy testing, stool testing, detailed nutritional status and more.

Specialty Consultations

We offer a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan using an Integrative and Functional approach to your child's specific needs. Some of the areas we have focused on and treated in the past include: ADD, autism, PANDAS, behavior issues, GI issues and more. We use a systems-biology approach, focusing on the ultimate root cause of the problem and developing an evidence-based comprehensive, holistic treatment plan.

Dispensary

Shopping for vitamins and supplements can be overwhelming and confusing! So many choices and they are not regulated the same way as prescription medications so you really want to make sure you are getting good quality and safe supplements. Often you do not know who the seller is to guarantee safety when purchasing on large sites such as Amazon. Here is a link to shop thousands of supplements, all guaranteed authentic and good quality. As a note I do not receive any financial support, etc. from any of the companies I recommend. They are likely several other examples that are just as good, however, I do my best to narrow the list and make this process as easy as possible for you. All prices are comparable to amazon, grocery store etc with free shipping. Follow us on Instagram and keep posted for when we are able to offer special discounts for our patients.
