Integrative Pediatrics

Kids are not miniature adults. Their brains wire up faster, their guts develop in stages, and their immune systems learn on the fly. As an integrative pediatrician, My Native Doctor blends conventional pediatrics with nutrition, botanicals, and family-friendly lifestyle tools so children can thrive from infancy to adolescence.

Why Choose Integrative Pediatric Care?

Conventional medicine treats infections and emergencies brilliantly, yet many day-to-day issues: eczema flares, picky eating, restless sleep, do not need a one-size-fits-all prescription. Integrative pediatric care addresses the root of these concerns with gentle, evidence-based strategies: targeted nutrients, gut-supportive foods, sensory regulation practices, and mindful screen habits. By partnering with an integrative medicine pediatric doctor, parents get a roadmap that respects both modern science and a child’s natural resilience.

How Our Pediatric Service Works

Step 1

Choose telehealth for flexibility or a home visit if you want an integrative child health doctor who can see your child’s environment firsthand.

Book Your Visit

Step 2

Detailed Intake and Parent Story

A secure form covers birth history, feeding patterns, behavior cues, school demands, and current medications. You can upload growth charts or prior labs, so we build on existing data.

Step 3

Ninety-Minute Child-Friendly Concierge Consult

We talk, draw, and sometimes play to understand your child’s lifestyle and stress points. A functional exam checks reflexes, skin, gut sounds, and breathing patterns. If tele-medicine is chosen, we do a video chat to discuss your child’s needs.

Step 4

Personalized Plan in Forty-Eight Hours

You receive a clear action sheet that lists:
• Food swaps and meal ideas even picky eaters enjoy
• Herbal or nutrient dosing adjusted by weight
• Play-based movement to balance nervous energy
• Bedtime rituals that sync with melatonin rhythms
• School and screen strategies that protect focus

Every recommendation states why it matters and how to track changes week by week.

Step 5

Follow-Up and Growth Tracking

Check-ins at four, eight-, and twelve-weeks review symptom logs, growth metrics, and family feedback. Protocols evolve, and unnecessary supplements get trimmed so the routine stays simple.

Child-Safe Tools We Use

●        Stool and micronutrient panels to spot hidden imbalances.

●        Probiotics, zinc, and elderberry for stronger child immune health.

●        Magnesium, B-vitamins, and L-theanine powders that slip into smoothies.

●        Low-dose melatonin or chamomile for sleeping if needed.

●        Omega-3 oils for focus and mood regulation.

●        Calendula, evening primrose, and topical oolong formulas for natural support for childhood eczema.

●        Sensory diet checklists and breathwork games to calm an anxious brain.

●        Parent coaching on mealtime structure, movement breaks, and tech boundaries

We ensure that most supplements recommended are third-party tested, dye-free, and flavored for tiny taste buds.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. When bacterial infections hit, we use standard treatments. Herbs and nutrients support recovery and gut balance afterward.

  • Most powders blend invisibly into yogurt or smoothies. We give creative recipe ideas at each visit.

  • Keeping eczema calm or sleep gains often appear within two to four weeks. Focus and gut improvements are usually shown by the second follow-up visit.

  • We do not administer childhood vaccines as we are not your primary pediatrician. We recommend that you discuss this with your primary pediatrician.
