I love seeing kids they make my day!!

Pediatric Functional Medicine We believe that a healthy baby begins even before conception. For this reason, we also work with moms to establish their optimal health goals preconception as they plan for pregnancy. We then follow both mom and baby throughout pregnancy and post-delivery, extending through the many stages of childhood development. Following the child through their early years of rapid development is critical. In the first few years of life, a child goes throug...h rapid changes in brain development, assimilation of their microbiome (which aids in creating the health of his/her immune system), as well as physical, psychological and emotional growth. The emphasis of pediatric functional medicine is early recognition of health issues with early interventions to correct imbalances that can lead to chronic illness. For this reason, we focus on preventive medicine for every patient. We integrate principles of both traditional family medicine and functional medicine to provide the best means we can offer to address the needs of all our patients on many levels. To schedule your pediatric appointment, call our office at (573) 803-1884

Hormones are like the bossy older sibling to your body. They’re the loudest chemical signals you’ve got and ensure everything is going down the way it’s supposed to. They run from your endocrine glands (adrenals, thyroid, pancreas, ovaries or testes) telling the rest of your body how to keep it together. Imagine one of those glands gets out of whack: so does the communication in your body, which can result in a bunch of different symptoms.... Learn how to read those signals and what you can do about them by contacting our office. #hormones #hormonehealth #metabolism #endocrinology #ibs #insomnia #anxiety

From digestive issues to autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances to cardio metabolic issues - our approach to medicine gets to the root cause of what you are dealing with so you can achieve long-term, sustainable results. Some patients come to us just feeling off and not sure what is wrong, while others come to us with a recent diagnosis and little hope. In both situations, our team works to really understand where the patient is at. The more we learn about health history, li...festyle, genetics, & symptoms, the better the team understands how we can help. From there, comprehensive lab work and specialty testing is used to take a deeper look at different aspects of your health, and uncover the cause of your symptoms. Based on these learnings, your nurse will create a tailored health plan for you. #kingdomhealth #functionalmedicine #integrativehealth #holistichealing #capegirardeau #southeastmissouri

It is often falsely assumed that the way one woman experiences PCOS is how all women experience it. For example, it is commonly believed that having PCOS means you have cysts on your ovaries and won’t have a regular period. In fact, only three of the four types of PCOS are associated with ovarian cysts and while menstruation can be affected by the condition, it is also heavily dependent on inflammation, body fat percentage, and one’s cortisol and insulin levels. Similarly, so...me, but not all, women with the condition will experience acne, facial hair growth, or both. How to treat PCOS and if it can be treated at all are also widely misunderstood. Women who come to Kingdom Health with a PCOS diagnosis are often on a birth control pill and believe that their diagnosis means they are infertile. In reality, the birth control pill does nothing to cure, prevent, or fix PCOS or any other hormone disorder. It can be helpful as a management tool for symptoms, but ultimately it just masks the problem. Although PCOS causes remain unknown, research indicates that imbalances in hormone levels, body fat percentage, and metabolism are to blame. At the root of these imbalances are stress and diet, which often go hand in hand as high stress can lead to poor dietary and lifestyle choices. By following our protocols, patients have been able to rebalance their bodies, reverse PCOS, and oftentimes conceive. If you have been given a PCOS diagnosis, the best thing you can do is educate yourself and find a physician who will take the time to explain the syndrome and work with you to heal. Just because a friend has PCOS or you have heard that women with it always have a particular symptom, does not mean that you will have the same experience. At Kingdom Health, we believe in a personalized approach to medicine because no two people are the same. Between our comprehensive hormonal testing and in depth doctor visits, we will get to the root cause of your symptoms and design the best possible treatment plan to meet your needs. #PCOSAwareness #KingdomHealth #FunctionalMedicine #CapeGirardeau

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Of the women we see, it is one of the most common diagnoses we treat and It is the leading cause of female infertility in the United States. Despite being the most common hormone disorder in reproductive-age women, it is underdiagnosed. PCOS is a complex endocrine and metabolic condition as well as an inflammatory condition. In order to effectively treat PCOS, it is essential to treat the root cause of the condition and work to reduce syst...em-wide inflammation using a personalized approach. Hormonal birth control is often used as a treatment in traditional medicine, but this is more of a band-aid approach and isn’t truly getting to the root of the problem. It’s also important to note that the bleeding you get when you take the sugar pills in your monthly pack of pills is not truly a period. This bleeding is called withdrawal bleeding, meaning withdrawal from the synthetic hormones. Other traditional treatments include drugs such as Metformin, but these come with there own side-effects and, again, do not fix the root of the problem. If you are feeling frustrated with your current PCOS treatment or if you think you may have undiagnosed PCOS, let us walk alongside you and help you! #PCOS #InfertilityAwareness #FunctionalMedicine #KingdomHealth #KingdomHealthandWellness #CapeGirardeau #SoutheastMissouri #WomensHealth
