Indianapolis Pediatric Care - Functional Medicine

What is pediatric functional medicine?

Pediatric functional medicine looks for the root cause of a child’s symptoms instead of only treating them as they appear. At Holistic Family Wellness in Indianapolis, we combine modern medicine with evidence-informed functional care. Together with parents, we support nutrition, gut health, immune resilience, healthy development, and informed healthcare decisions.

You know your child best. You deserve a provider who listens.

Maybe your child keeps getting sick. Maybe it’s the tummy aches that never go away, the eczema that keeps coming back, or the big emotions no one can explain. You’ve been told “it’s normal” or “they’ll grow out of it.” But your gut says something more is going on.

Rushed visits and one-size-fits-all answers leave parents feeling unheard. We believe your family deserves time, honest conversation, and care that matches your values.

Treating the Whole Child

The Healthy Gut

A healthy gut is the foundation for a healthy child. We help uncover the root causes of digestive concerns while supporting growth, immune function, energy, and well-being. Our goal is to help your child feel better for the long term, not just for now.

Symptoms We See: Constipation, reflux, food sensitivities, belly pain, diarrhea, gas and bloating, eczema, psoriasis, hives and rashes, picky eating, poor appetite, leaky gut, candida, parasites, teen PCOS, irregular periods

Brain and Behavior

Helping your child thrive at home, at school, and in life. Every child deserves to feel confident, focused, balanced, and understood. We look for the factors behind behavior, attention, mood, sleep, and learning, then build a personalized plan for healthy development.
Symptoms We See: ADHD, anxiety, focus struggles, autism support, behavior concerns, poor sleep, big emotions, mood swings, irritability, brain fog, low energy, chronic fatigue

Immune Resilience

Kids get sick as their immune systems grow. But when illness is frequent, recovery is slow, or the same problems keep coming back, it’s time to look closer. We support healthy immune function through nutrition, sleep, gut health, and lifestyle. Strong kids from the inside out.
Symptoms We See: Frequent colds, recurrent ear infections, sinus infections, frequent strep, lingering coughs, seasonal allergies, eczema, acne, slow recovery, low energy after illness

Informed Vaccine Conversations

Your questions are welcome here

We believe parents deserve time, education, and respectful conversations to make informed healthcare decisions for their children. We provide evidence-based guidance and support families without judgment.

We respect your family’s vaccine decisions. We discuss the standard schedule and alternatives openly. We explain what Indiana law requires for school.

Whether you follow the standard schedule, are considering a delayed schedule, simply have questions, or are a family that chooses not to vaccinate, you’ll get an honest conversation, not a lecture. See our FAQs below for how Indiana school requirements work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Functional Medicine

What ages do you see for pediatric care?

We care for children from infancy through their teen years, and we care for parents and adults too, so your whole family can be seen at one practice.

How is functional medicine different from a regular pediatrician visit?

A typical visit focuses on treating the symptom in front of you. Functional medicine asks why the symptom is happening in the first place. We spend more time listening, use evidence-informed testing when appropriate, and build a personalized plan that supports lasting health, not just quick fixes. We combine this approach with modern medicine, so you get both.

Do you offer sick visits, sports physicals, and well-child exams?

Yes. Along with our functional medicine care, we provide everyday pediatric services, including sick visits, sports physicals, annual wellness visits, and well-child exams.

Do you support delayed or alternative vaccine schedules, or choosing not to vaccinate?

We believe parents deserve time, education, and respectful conversations to make informed decisions for their children. We’ll walk you through the evidence on the standard schedule and openly and without judgment discuss your questions about timing. Every family’s plan is decided together, between you and your provider.

What does Indiana law say about school vaccine requirements?

Indiana requires certain immunizations for school attendance, and the law allows two types of exemptions: a religious objection and a medical exemption. A religious objection must be in writing, signed by the parent, and given to the school. A medical exemption must come from a licensed provider. We’re happy to explain how these rules apply to your child during a visit.

What kinds of testing might my child need?

It depends on your child’s symptoms and history. After a thorough evaluation, we may recommend comprehensive blood work, stool testing, nutritional and vitamin assessments, thyroid testing, iron studies, food allergy evaluation, or specialty functional lab testing. Testing is always chosen for your child, never one-size-fits-all.

Can our whole family become patients at Holistic Family Wellness?

Yes, and many families do. We offer complete family care, functional medicine, hormone health, weight loss support, IV therapy, and aesthetics, all in one Indianapolis practice. Starting care for your child is a great first step for the whole family.
