✨Clinic spotlight 🐔✨


🩺Allyson is our incredible registered nurse, and while she works remotely supporting our families with such care and dedication, she also spends her days tending to her flock—9 hens strong! Last spring, she even helped hatch 6 chicks herself 💛

🧩At our integrative pediatrics practice, we’re proud to represent families (and team members!) who value nurturing environments, and a slower, more intentional way of living. Allyson embodies all of this and more.


🤍We’re so grateful to have her as part of our team—she truly is a gem.

‼️Why eczema flares at night (and what you can do about it)‼️


🌙If your child’s eczema seems worse at night, it’s not random—there are real, physiologic reasons behind it.

👏🏼These are some of the most common triggers (inspired by insights from Dr. Ana Maria Temple):

🌡️Rising body temperature
As your child warms up under blankets, itch signals increase. Heat is a major eczema trigger. Keeping the room cooler (around 65–68°F) can make a noticeable difference.

🛏️Bedding + detergent exposure
Your child’s skin is in constant contact with sheets for hours. Synthetic fabrics can trap heat, and leftover detergent residue can irritate sensitive skin. Opting for breathable fabrics and fragrance-free detergent (with an extra rinse cycle) can help reduce irritation.

🌒Natural nighttime hormone shifts
Cortisol—your body’s built-in anti-inflammatory hormone—drops at night. With less of this protective effect, inflammation and itching can feel more intense. Supporting overall inflammation balance during the day can help minimize flares.

🌬️Dry air
Indoor heating reduces humidity, which can dry out the skin further. Using a cool-mist humidifier, especially in colder months, can support skin hydration overnight.

✋🏼The itch–scratch cycle
Once itching wakes your child, scratching can worsen the skin barrier and trigger more itching. Keeping nails short and using cotton mittens (for younger children) may help break this cycle.

🧩Histamine isn’t the enemy — but when the body can’t break it down well, it can lead to a variety of symptoms we see often in pediatrics.


🔭From an integrative lens, it’s not just about histamine… it’s about why it’s building up.
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Common risk factors:
• Gut imbalance / “leaky gut”
• Processed food intake
• Chronic inflammation

Underlying triggers may include:
• Mold, pollen, animal dander
• Chemical exposures
• Hormonal shifts
• Neurotransmitter imbalances

‼️Important note on probiotics:
Some strains can actually increase histamine, including:
• Lactobacillus bulgaricus
• Lactobacillus casei
• Lactobacillus delbrueckii
• Lactobacillus helveticus
• Streptococcus thermophilus

🧩If your child has ongoing symptoms like congestion, rashes, headaches, or GI issues, histamine may be one piece of the puzzle worth exploring.

✨ Healing starts with understanding the root cause

1️⃣Rashes

They often look dramatic , but most aren’t emergencies.
The key question: Is your child acting well?
If they’re playful, hydrated, and comfortable, that’s reassuring. Always reach out if something feels off.

2️⃣Changes in Baby P**p 💩

Babies don’t have to p**p every day. In early months, immature gut motility means their digestive system is still learning to coordinate , so skipping days can be normal. Green, yellow, or orange stools? Usually fine.
Call if there’s vomiting, belly swelling, blood in stool, hard pellets, or significant discomfort.

3️⃣Bedwetting

Can be normal up to age 9–10.
More concerning: daytime accidents, constipation, or restarting after months of dryness. Most kids outgrow it , no shame, no blame.

4️⃣Picky Eating 🍽️

Toddlers are wildly inconsistent.
Some days they eat everything. Other days they survive on one bite of corn and ✨vibes✨.
If growth is normal, this is usually developmental. If not growing well — that’s different.

5️⃣Big Lymph Nodes

That neck bump after a cold? Often a reactive lymph node doing its job. They can stay enlarged for weeks.
Call if it’s rapidly growing, very painful/red, hard and fixed, or comes with persistent fevers or weight loss.


🧩Bottom line:
In pediatrics, we treat the child , not just the symptom.
If your child is acting well, that’s often the most reassuring sign.
And if your gut says something isn’t right? Call. Always.

✝️Happy Easter. He is Risen✝️

This Easter, we’re reminded that new life, hope, and renewal are at the heart of everything we do.
At our Integrative Pediatrics Clinic, we believe that investing in children is truly investing in God’s Kingdom. Every child is created with purpose, and nurturing their health helps them grow into who they were designed to be.


Just as Easter celebrates resurrection and new beginnings, we are honored to walk alongside families in supporting the wellness and wholeness of each child we serve.
“He is risen!”—and with that truth comes hope for every generation. 💛

Wishing your family a joyful and blessed Easter filled with peace, love, and renewed life.

💛Today we recognize Autism Awareness Day—a time to grow in understanding, compassion, and support for the incredible children and families we serve.


🧩At our clinic, we believe every child is uniquely designed with their own strengths, challenges, and potential. Autism is not something to be “fixed”—it’s something to be understood, supported, and embraced.

🧩Through an integrative approach, we look at the whole child—supporting development, nutrition, sensory needs, and overall well-being—while partnering closely with families every step of the way.


🤍To our autism families: we see you, we support you, and we are honored to walk alongside you.

💙 Let’s continue to listen, learn, and create a world where every child can thrive.
