Nutrition plays a key role in a child's health, development, and behavior. The nutrients a child gets from their diet help their body and brain function properly — but several factors can affect nutritional status. Digestive or absorption issues can prevent a child's body from using nutrients effectively. Certain conditions, including ADHD and autism, can make children more susceptible to nutrient deficiencies, and genetic and environmental factors play a role as well.

Is my child getting the nutrients they need? Could dietary changes or supplements make a difference in their focus, mood, or behavior?

Nutritional testing offers a way to evaluate a child's individual nutritional status, allowing for a more individualized approach and better outcomes. Testing evaluates five major areas of core nutrients: amino acids, organic acids, fatty acids, dietary minerals, and antioxidants. Results can provide insight into malabsorption, bacterial imbalance, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, cellular energy, neurotransmitter metabolism, toxin exposure, and oxidative stress — all factors that can influence a child's focus, mood, and behavior.
