What We Treat
Pediatric Health
A Natural, Personalized Approach to Your Child's Wellness
At KALE Functional Medicine in Houston, we understand that children deserve healthcare that addresses their unique needs with both compassion and comprehensive support. As a board-certified physician and parent, Dr. Miiko Rowley offers an alternative to traditional pediatric care by combining conventional medical expertise with functional medicine principles that identify and address the root causes of health concerns.
Our pediatric services provide families with options that go beyond symptom management, incorporating natural remedies, nutritional support, and personalized care plans that consider your child’s individual biochemistry and health history.
Our Pediatric Health Philosophy
We believe that truly effective pediatric care requires looking at the whole child—not just isolated symptoms. Our approach considers the complex interplay between genetics, environment, nutrition, gut health, and immune function to create personalized treatment plans that support your child’s long-term health and development.
Our holistic child health approach includes:
- Root Cause Investigation: We dig deep to identify what’s causing your child’s symptoms rather than simply treating them
- Personalized Treatment Plans: Each child receives a customized protocol based on their unique needs, genetics, and health history
- Family-Centered Care: We partner with parents as the experts on their children, respecting your knowledge and concerns
- Integrative Methods: Combining the best of conventional medicine with natural, evidence-based therapies
- Prevention Focus: Emphasizing optimal nutrition, lifestyle factors, and environmental health to prevent future health issues
