Pediatric Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine for Kids
At Balance Holistic Health Center in Brecksville, Ohio, we believe that every child deserves to thrive. Functional medicine offers a personalized, science-backed approach to addressing pediatric health concerns, helping children achieve optimal well-being by identifying and addressing the root causes of their symptoms. Whether your child is dealing with eczema, ADHD, autism, acne, hormonal imbalances, or digestive issues, our team is here to provide tailored care that supports their unique needs.

What Is Functional Medicine for Kids?
Functional medicine focuses on understanding the underlying factors contributing to your child’s health issues. Unlike conventional approaches that often rely on managing symptoms with medications, functional medicine looks at:
- Nutrition and diet
- Environmental exposures
- Genetics
- Lifestyle factors
- Gut health and microbiome balance
By addressing these root causes, we aim to restore balance and improve your child’s overall health.
