Stimming. The classic example is flapping of the hands/arms. I would tell you that anything repetitive, including motions and vocal repetition, should be considered. Many kids stim when they are nervous and anxious because it is a way to calm themselves. I would report anything you suspect to your doctor and occupational therapist.

Hello Emma! Emma is 12 months and experiencing some development delays. At 12 months, Emma is not crawling, can’t get into sitting position by herself even after months of PT. Her hands are balled up all the time. She was born breech and with hip dysplasia. I am excited to help her and her family start down this path towards wellness.

Social skills. This is all over the map, from avoidance to not knowing how to interact. I always tell parents the kids can learn anything and social skills will take learning and
practice.

Help us welcome our last patient of 2022, Ethan!

Ethan needs help navigating his emotions. He is very defiant and doesn't listen to his Mom or teachers. Ethan's mom noticed these behaviors around 18 months. He seems to be struggling most in school by running out of the class and behaviors outbursts. We're looking forward to helping Ethan reduce those sugar cravings, eat better and once those happen, I feel confident his mom and teachers will see an improvement in his behavior.

The future of pediatrics is functional medicine.

Parenting is no easy task and adding in a child with medical needs only exasperates the situation. We all want our children to be happy and healthy, but sometimes they experience symptoms that make them miserable.

The question becomes what do we do when our children's symptoms are being covered up. Would you rather repair your child's symptoms (i.e. find what is causing them) or cover them up with medication?

I am excited to see 7-month-old Alexander, who has developed eczema. Alexander's had a lot of swelling post birth, c-section, poor eye contact, His mom is worried vitamin K may have caused autism. This little man is currently formula fed with no issue with reflux, latching or colic.

Eczema = Gut health. I'm looking forward to helping this little guy get his gut health back.

Faith's Story

Faith was a lively, spunky little girl who had trouble with self-control. School was a challenge. Every day was a battle. After trying other therapies and seeing pediatricians, her mother brought her to see us. After working with Dr. Brooks, and identifying the major underlying causes, Faith is a changed child.

Welcome, Benjamin! We're excited to help this dinosaur loving kiddo! Believe it or not, his mom describes him as aggressive, hard to punish, and mean to siblings. He often hits/kicks/bites, he breaks things where he goes, he can’t tolerate loud noises, and
lines things up. She thinks that he may be on the spectrum and could use some help. When YOU don't feel good, but can't explain why, and you are 4, sometimes our behavior comes out just like Benjamin. I'm looking forward to helping Benjamin feel better and watching the aggression disappear.

Histamine in the gut can affect histamine in the brain. In excess amounts, histamine in the brain can cause feelings of anxiety and even panic. In very high amounts it can also cause brain fog, difficulty concentrating and problems retaining information.

Many people know the symptoms of histamine associated with hay fever – itchy nose, runny eyes and general feeling of irritability are all symptoms of histamine release. What most people do not realize is that we (a) also produce a lot of histamine in our gut, and (b) that histamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain. Many bacteria in the gut produce histamine as a by-product of their metabolism.

Did you know that there are over 3 pounds of bacteria in your body right now?
That means they weigh as much as your brain and make up 2% of your total weight.

Help us welcome Luke to the practice! Luke has been experiencing developmental delays and is sensory seeking. His mom has been unable to get a diagnosis from a pediatrician, as they would prefer to "wait and see". I'm looking forward to guiding Luke on this wellness journey.

How will you shake things up?

Our beautiful daughter is 4 years old. I started asking our now former primary doctor about some concerns at her 2 year old checkup and they were not validated. Although she is a happy and loving child, some things concerned me. For example, she had lip/tongue tie (her previous doctor denied this constantly) speech delay and scripting certain times a day. By the time we found Dr. Brooks, we were at a point of thinking we were out of answers and we were simply overthinking things. With Dr. Brook’s guidance, we didn’t only find answers, but were given every possible tool for our daughter to improve and guide her where she needed to be. Not even a month into the treatment, we started noticing improvement. Dr. Brook’s plan targeted every area in need of reinforcement that would enable us to highlight these improvements.

Six months into treatment, her speech has blossomed drastically. She’s able to speak in full sentences, potty trained and has a calmer demeanor. Arwen now asks questions and can follow 2-3 step directions. Seeing from where Arwen started to where she is now is not short of a miracle thanks to Dr. Brooks’ guidance. She’s the best ally you can find in this field.

Sloan's Story

Sloan has seen Dr. Brooks since she was two months old. She came because she had acid reflux and her pediatrician had prescribed a compound drug that was inhibiting the absorption of iron and zinc and various other things that were really red flags
for her mom. Sloan's Mom didn't want her two-month-old, whose brain is developing at a rapid rate, to be suppressed by a drug and also wanted her to be able to keep her food down!

> Insert Dr. Amber Brooks <

Now, Sloan is THRIVING. She's eating and keeping her food down and sleeping well! That's what every mom wants for their kiddos!
