Pediatric Functional Medicine in Erie CO

Supporting Lifelong Health, One Child at a Time

At Live Your Life Integrated Health, we believe the foundations of lifelong wellness are built in childhood. Pediatric Functional Medicine in Erie CO focuses on identifying the root causes of health issues in children-rather than simply managing symptoms-so they can grow, learn, and thrive with energy and resilience.

We take a personalized, whole-child approach to help your child feel better now, while also supporting their future health.

What Is Pediatric Functional Medicine?

Pediatric Functional Medicine is an integrative, systems-based approach to children's health. Rather than focusing only on a diagnosis or isolated symptoms, we look at the bigger picture:

• Why is your child experiencing chronic symptoms?
• What imbalances in the gut, immune system, or environment are contributing?
• How can we support their developing body with gentle, evidence-based care?

We explore the root causes of imbalances in areas such as nutrition, digestion, detoxification, hormone regulation, and the microbiome. From there, we use food, lifestyle, targeted supplements, and functional testing to restore balance and help your child flourish.

Why Early Intervention Matters In Erie CO

Children's bodies are resilient-but they're also developing rapidly. This makes early life the ideal time to identify and correct imbalances that can impact:

• Growth and development
• Immune function
• Cognitive performance and behavior
• Long-term risk for chronic conditions

Addressing concerns early can:

• Improve your child's quality of life
• Prevent reliance on unnecessary medications
• Support better focus, mood, digestion, and sleep
• Set a foundation for healthy habits that last a lifetime

Even subtle signs-like recurring tummy aches, mood swings, or frequent colds-can indicate deeper imbalances. Pediatric Functional Medicine helps uncover what's really going on.

How We Help Your Child Thrive

Our care starts with listening-to both the child and the parents. We take time to understand your child's story, health history, environment, and habits. Then, we explore the underlying contributors to their symptoms through advanced testing and personalized strategies.

Our pediatric functional medicine care often includes:

• Comprehensive functional testing (gut health, nutrient levels, food sensitivities, toxin exposure)
• Anti-inflammatory, nutrient-rich nutrition plans that kids can enjoy
• Targeted supplementation to restore balance (e.g., probiotics, omega-3s, minerals)
• Lifestyle guidance on sleep, movement, screen time, and emotional health
• Natural therapies to reduce inflammation and support immune and nervous system function

We collaborate with parents every step of the way to create doable, compassionate solutions for busy families.
