TORONTO FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE FOR KIDS: TMB'S RAISING ROOTS PROGRAM - Toronto Functional Medicine

Did you know that in addition to our other functional medicine programs, we offer a pediatric focused program for children? After all, the goal of functional medicine is to help each bioindividual thrive to their fullest potential– why should children be the exception?

WHY WE BELIEVE IN
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE FOR KIDS

Usually, we wait until we’re adults to invest in our health. But imagine how transformative it is for children to begin experiencing the benefits of functional medicine from a young age? Imagine, for yourself even, how your life would be different today if somebody taught you about healthy lifestyle decisions while you were busy studying math and spelling?

TMB’s newest FUNC MED addition, Raising Roots, is a functional medicine wellness program designed specifically for children to help set them up for a future filled with VITALITY and VIBRANT WELLNESS.

COMMON CHILDHOOD ISSUES

Here’s the thing: from eczema to asthma and everything-in-between, chronic ailments are on the rise in children — and many of these ailments carry on into adulthood. Aside from sparing kids from unnecessary medication and medical procedures, visiting a functional medicine practitioner from an early age can instill life-changing healthy habits and cultivate self-awareness that they can carry with them into adulthood!

We all WANT to do more for our children as parents, but sometimes we just don’t know what else we CAN be doing. THIS is what our FUNC MED Raising Roots program is all about.

Children don’t always have the self-awareness to make sense of how they’re feeling. This is why investing in a skilled Functional Medicine practitioner to help put the puzzle pieces together is essential. Not only will we take the guesswork out of designing safe and effective protocols for your child’s health, but we’ll work to create lasting, lifelong change.
