TARGET AUDIENCE
Primary care providers, pediatricians, and clinicians caring for children.
CONFERENCE OVERVIEW/PURPOSE
Functional and Integrative Pediatrics offers a groundbreaking approach to health care, particularly for children dealing with chronic conditions or complex health issues. Pediatric functional and integrative medicine acknowledges that multiple underlying factors contribute to individual health, such as environmental, cellular, nutrition and lifestyle factors.
In this one-day conference you will be introduced to the Functional and Integrative Medicine framework, learn how to test for nutrients and cofactors that may affect pediatric symptoms, become familiar with the use of supplements that follow FDA-regulations to safely support pediatric conditions, and help your patients with whole foods nutrition for cellular health.
OBJECTIVES

NUTRITION: Describe the effects of both whole foods and ultra-processed food components on cellular health.
SUPPLEMENTS: Identify the therapeutic use and safety profile/contraindications of supplements for common pediatric symptoms.
LABORATORY: Interpret laboratory tests used in pediatric functional and integrative approaches.
PATIENT EDUCATION: Apply patient education to deliver functional and integrative approaches.
