Pediatric Holistic Health
Anxiety and Depression
Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Depression are influenced by many biological, societal, and psychological factors. Dr. Love supports teens and kids in establishing brain-healthy practices, and can perform functional medicine testing to analyze deeper contributing factors to mental health. She carefully considers the needs of her patients, and works within your child's circle of care, including directly communicating with any prescribing doctors & therapists to ensure transparency and safety.
Th2 Mediated Allergies
Asthma, Eczema, food allergies and intolerances, and hay fever are all mediated by the body's advanced immune system. After sensitization, mast cells release histamine in response to learned allergies. Dr. Love helps families identify allergies, reduce inflammation, support the immune system, and offers natural alternatives for immediate symptomatic relief.
PANS/PANDAS
Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Syndrome / Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Strep Infection is a rare condition that causes symptoms in children like anxiety, mood changes, sleep difficulties, disinterest in food, fidgeting and ADHD-like behaviour, difficulty concentrating, and increased sensitivity to noise and light. Even after a round of antibiotics to eliminate strep infection, many symptoms of PANDAS can continue post-infection clearance. There is a clear link between gut and auto-immune health that impacts behavior in children.
Autism Spectrum
Children and teens on the autism spectrum deserve focused and individualized care. Dr. Love educates families on the evidence-based nutritional needs that many kids with autism require for mood and behavior support. She can help your family find the right diet and nutritional plan to support your child, and order functional tests that may influence treatment protocols related to mood and behavior.
ADHD
There is an increasing amount of health factors being linked to hyperactivity and inattention, including identifiable and treatable gut bacterias, micronutrient deficiencies, and heavy metal toxicity. Knowing where to look and what to look for has been one of the biggest barriers to finding root-cause solutions for ADHD. Dr. Love investigates all aspects of health that could be related to your child's nervous system.
Mental Health
Anxiety
Anxiety is more than just stress. Factors such as hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar fluctuations, chronic inflammation, gut health issues, poor sleep, and nervous system dysregulation can all contribute to feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. Dr. Love uses evidence-based therapies to create individualized treatment plans designed to support a calmer mind, improved emotional balance, and long-term wellness. Our goal is to help you understand the "why" behind your symptoms and provide the tools needed to restore optimal health and vitality.
Depression
Depression is a complex condition that can affect every aspect of daily life, from mood and motivation to energy, sleep, and overall well-being. Dr. Love supports patients taking medications for depression and patients who are interested in trying evidence-based alternative therapies as a first-line treatment for mild to moderate depression. Through personalized treatment plans that may include targeted nutrition, lifestyle modifications, stress-reduction techniques, and evidence-based supplements, we work to support optimal mental health and resilience.
Hormone Balancing
Perimenopause, Menopause
Perimenopause can look like anxiety, brain fog, heavier periods, acne, and fatigue. HRT uses hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body, helping restore balance safely and effectively. From accurate diagnostics to ongoing treatment and monitoring, our goal is to help you regain hormonal balance and feel your best at every stage of life.
PMDD
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is a complex condition that can impact mood, energy, relationships, and quality of life. We analyze hormone panels, blood sugar regulation, mood and energy, sleep, and inflammation to uncover underlying factors of PMDD. Our goal is to empower you with evidence-informed and individualized care so you can feel more balanced and in control of your mental health throughout your cycle.
PMOS
Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome involves multiple health systems, including metabolic, endocrine (hormones), blood sugar balancing, and cycle-regulating. Dr. Love creates tailored treatment plans that include diet and lifestyle guidance, nutritional and supplement support.
Dysmenorrhea
Over the counter medications and birth control aren't the only options for treating painful periods. Understanding how you metabolize and store hormones can uncover the root cause of why your period is painful, heavy, or irregular.
Digestive Health
IBS, SIBO, and Dysbiosis
Bloating, GERD, indigestion, and bowel complaints like diarrhea or constipation are not symptoms to ignore, and may be real signs of a deeper imbalance. Treating these symptoms at the source (the gut) not only improves digestion, but also prevents other gastrointestinal diseases. Let's get together and discuss the gut-brain axis, and how these conditions may be impacting your mental health!
Metabolic Health
Weight gain doesn't just "happen", but is usually a side-effect of something deeper going on. Blood sugar regulation, cholesterol management, and weight loss support through dietary, lifestyle, and supplement interventions.
