About this event

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 get an understanding of the framework for functional and integrative pediatric medicine, while you expand your ability to test for nutrients and cofactors which may affect pediatric symptoms, learn to use supplements that follow FDA-regulations to safely support pediatric conditions and help your patients with whole foods nutrition as information for their cellular health.

OBJECTIVES

  1. FRAMEWORK: Explain how a functional medicine framework considers complex underlying body processes in heterogeneous individuals which contribute to medical symptoms.
  2. FOOD: Describe a whole foods diet and components in ultra-processed foods and how they provide information to body cells.
  3. SUPPLEMENTS: Interpret the therapeutic use of and safety profile/contraindications of supplements in pediatrics for common clinical issues.
  4. LABORATORY: Identify laboratory tests useful in pediatric functional and integrative approach.
  5. PATIENT EDUCATION: Apply patient education to deliver functional and integrative approaches.

Our history and name

Created in 2003, we have become the largest embedded integrative health care provider in the country. Originally founded by the George Family and the Ted and Roberta Mann Foundations as the Institute for Health and Healing, we changed our name to the Penny George Institute for Health and Healing in 2008 to honor integrative health philanthropist Penny George.

Penny George is an international leader and advocate of integrative medicine. Her passion stems from her own recovery from breast cancer, which utilized integrative medicine as a foundation for her recovery and led her to see the need for a more holistic approach in Western medicine. She believes integrative care has the potential to fundamentally change the face of today’s health care system. This institute is a philosophical and clinical manifestation of that promise.
