✨ Could a prescription B-vitamin make a difference for your child?
Leucovorin (high-dose folinic acid) has been featured on major news outlets for its role in supporting kids with autism. Here’s why parents and doctors are talking about it:
💡 Some children can’t get folate (B9) into their brain—even if their blood levels look normal.
💡 This is called Cerebral Folate Deficiency (CFD), and it can affect focus, learning, and behavior.
💡 Dairy products can trigger antibodies that block folate from getting into the brain.
💡 Leucovorin helps “flood the brain” with folate where it’s needed most.
👩‍⚕️ Research shows many children benefit—sometimes in profound ways. But it must be prescribed, monitored, and combined with the right supports (and a dairy-free diet).
Parents are asking questions. Doctors are listening. Families are finding hope.
Would you like to know more about how Leucovorin might fit into your child’s care plan? 💭

Parents often ask me how are functional lab tests different that regular lab tests. Here is a visual representation of labs I order on kids, minus the hormones. Most of these markers are covered by insurance, but some, like the OAT or hair mineral test are not. If you would like your child tested from a functional medicine perspective, please schedule a consultation and I am happy to guide you.

Most psychiatrist use the DSMV to diagnose and then prescribe a medication. We dig for underlying root causes of these mental disorders, because they are caused by triggering factors like genetic disorders, nutrient deficiencies, biological or chemical toxins, and hidden infections.

🌞☀️ HELLO, SUNSHINE! 🕶️🧴

Summer = fun, popsicles, sprinklers… and SUNSCREEN!
Let’s keep those tiny noses and cheeks safe while they soak up the season. 😎

👶🧒 Our pediatric-approved sunscreen tips:

🧼 SPF 30+ is your BFF – go broad-spectrum to block those sneaky UV rays!
🧲 Stick to mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide = magic for sensitive skin).
💧 Water-resistant = playground-proof. Reapply every 2 hours or after splashy fun.
👶 Under 6 months? No sunscreen just yet—keep ‘em shaded + covered like the VIPs they are.
🦶 Don’t forget: ears, neck, tops of feet & even lips need love too!

Have questions or want recs? We’ve got your back (and arms, and legs 😉). Drop a comment or give us a call!
