Functional Medicine Nutrition & Lifestyle Support
A Whole-Person Approach to Emotional, Behavioral, and Developmental Wellness
Amy Romero, LPC-S recognizes that mental and emotional well-being are influenced by more than thoughts and feelings alone. Nutrition, sleep, physical activity, stress, environmental factors, and overall health can all play a role in how children and families function each day. She is also a certified 3 X 4 Genetics provider, where we believe that
health = genetics + choices.
Functional Medicine Nutrition and Lifestyle Support services take a whole-person approach, helping families identify lifestyle factors that may be contributing to challenges with attention, mood, behavior, and overall well-being.
Looking Beyond Symptoms
Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, a functional medicine-informed approach explores potential contributors to a child’s difficulties, including:
Nutritional deficiencies
Blood sugar imbalances
Sleep disturbances
Chronic stress
Gut health concerns
Inflammation
Environmental influences
Methylation and other genetic factors
Lifestyle habits that impact brain and body health
By addressing these foundational areas, families can build a stronger framework for overall wellness.
Support for Anxiety
Children and adolescents experiencing anxiety may benefit from lifestyle strategies that support healthy brain and nervous system function.
Areas of focus may include:
Nutrient-dense eating habits
Blood sugar stabilization
Sleep optimization
Stress management techniques
Physical activity recommendations
Mind-body wellness practices
These approaches are designed to complement counseling and other healthcare services as part of a comprehensive plan for emotional wellness.
Support for ADHD
Attention and self-regulation are influenced by multiple factors, including nutrition, sleep, movement, and daily routines.
Functional medicine-informed lifestyle support may help families:
Develop balanced nutrition habits
Create consistent routines
Improve sleep quality
Increase physical activity
Reduce environmental stressors
Support healthy focus and self-regulation
Our goal is to help children build a foundation that supports success at home, school, and in relationships.
Autism Spectrum Support
Every child on the autism spectrum is unique. We work collaboratively with families to explore lifestyle and nutritional factors that may support overall health and quality of life.

Nutrition and feeding concerns
Sleep support strategies
Gut-health considerations
Family wellness routines
Stress reduction and regulation skills
Our approach respects each child’s individual strengths, needs, and developmental profile.

Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy (CBPT)
Child-Centered Play Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Parent support and coaching
Emotional regulation skill development
Family-centered interventions
By addressing both emotional and lifestyle factors, we help families create a comprehensive path toward wellness.

Current eating patterns
Sleep habits
Daily routines

Environmental influences
Family wellness goals
Together, we will develop practical, individualized strategies that fit your family’s needs and values.
