Pediatric Functional Medicine

Pediatric Functional Medicine near me Missouri

We Are Your Partner in Your Child's Health

We believe in the importance of a therapeutic relationship and view our families as partners in the creation of health and well-being of their child.  We desire to be part of a community of like-minded families interested in raising their children in a more natural, holistic manner. 

We Get to Know You

Our consultations are individualized depending on the needs of your child and the most likely causes of their symptoms.  There may be overlaps but there is no “one size fits all” way to do this. We often implement different lifestyle changes and may perform a variety of conventional and functional diagnostic testing to help determine the underlying cause of symptoms.

We Are Different

Many practitioners may state they practice functional medicine or provide integrative care. Unfortunately many of these practitioners have not undergone the formal training that teaches best practices and the cutting-edge research for treating both adults and children appropriately. 

Micah has received training through the "gold-standard" in functional medicine, The Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM) and her pediatric functional medicine training through the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS).  Micah will soon be completed with her MAPS certification, and is the only MAPS provider in the Southwest Missouri area.

Asthma & Allergies

MAPS Doctor Missouri

   We strive to look at attention difficulties as a symptom of something else occurring in the body. Which could include:


  • Poor nutrition leading to vitamin and mineral deficiencies 
  • Neuroinflammation resulting from eating foods that are heavily processed 
  • Genetic Influences making it more difficult for the child’s brain to make essential neurotransmitters
  • Possible toxins from the environment that can negatively impacting your child’s brain

Asthma & Allergies

Licensed Functional Medicine Practitioner Micah Hubbard

Allergies and Eczema affect as many as 40% of children, and are the 3rd most common chronic disease among children. Unfortunately, the vast majority of kids that are treated for one of these conditions using the conventional medical model are only being treated at the symptom level, and no attempts are being made to discover and address the underlying cause of the illness.


We look at a number of factors influencing imbalanced immunity:

  • Gut health 
  • The use of recurrent antibiotics
  • Diet and Environment

Autism

GI Concerns

Natural Holistic Pediatrician Micah Hubbard Branson Missouri

We refuse to accept the answer there is nothing that can be done for a child with an autism spectrum diagnosis except external therapies.  While there is no doubt these therapies are crucial to help kids on the spectrum, there is a growing body of research into multiple potential underlying contributors that are driving the autism epidemic:


  • Neuroinflammation
  • Mitochondrial dysfunction
  • Immune dysregulation
  • Gut issues
  • Environmental toxins
  • Genetic susceptibilities

GI Concerns

Does your child have regular bowel movements? Complain often of belly pain?

Often an unhealthy gut goes unnoticed because the symptoms seem completely unrelated such as a skin condition, neurologic symptoms, immune dysfunction, etc., however, sometimes the symptoms are undeniably due to an issue within the GI tract and may result in constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain. We look at a number of factors that influence gut health including: Medications, Antibiotic and Steroid Use, Environmental and Dietary Factors.


Common GI related conditions we treat: 

  • Intestinal Permeability (leaky gut)
  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
  • Yeast Overgrowth 
  • Autoimmune Disorders
  • GI infections
  • Reflux, and others.

Headaches should not be common. If your child is consistently experiencing headaches or headache pains we will help to determine the triggers and cause. This may be addressed with: 

  • Nutrition 
  • Eliminate food and allergy triggers
  • Environmental triggers such as allergies or toxins
  • Vitamin or mineral deficiencies
  • Stress factors
  • Social and Family Life
  • Sleep Routines

PANS/PANDAS

GI Concerns

PANS/PANDAS

Natural doctor west plains missouri

Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal infections (PANDAS), is a disorder seen in children after they experience a Group A Strep infection. PANS shares many of the same symptoms and markers as PANDAS — the key difference is that PANS doesn’t come from a prior strep infection. Common symptoms of PANS/PANDAS may include:

  • Abrupt onset of OCD-like behaviors
  • Anxiety
  • Behavioral Regression
  • Emotional Lability
  • Handwriting Changes
  • Irritability/Aggression
  • Motor or Sensory Abnormalities
  • Sleep Disturbance/Bedwetting
  • Tics


We will help you determine what triggers may be occurring and reduce symptoms for your child.
