Integrative medicine combines conventional medical care with evidence-informed lifestyle and complementary approaches — focused on the whole child (sleep, nutrition, stress physiology, environment) rather than isolated symptoms.

Functional medicine is a systems-based approach that looks for patterns and contributors to symptoms (gut function, nutrient status, immune/inflammation load, metabolic stress) and then sequences interventions in a measurable way.

A pediatric neurologist brings specialized training in the developing brain, neurologic pattern recognition (including seizure/spell screening, differentiating between regressive episodes), and neurodevelopment — then integrates whole-body physiology in a structured plan.

Neuravana is a private-pay membership practice, not contracted with private nor public insurances and does not bill them. We can provide receipts you may submit to your plan if applicable, but reimbursement is not guaranteed.

Yes. Your child should remain established with a pediatrician/primary care clinician. Insurance remains important for urgent care, emergency care, conventional care/vaccines, imaging, EEGs, hospital services, and many third-party services.

Yes — however, patients with active neurological conditions (such as seizure disorders, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disorders, or other conditions currently managed by a conventional pediatric neurologist) must continue that care alongside their membership with us. Because our practice is rooted in integrative and lifestyle medicine, we do not manage acute or active neurological conditions.
To ensure your child's safety, maintaining an ongoing relationship with a conventional neurologist is required for all members. Think of us as the "Integrative Layer" of your care team — we provide the in-depth metabolic, nutritional, and lifestyle work that falls outside the typical scope of conventional neurology.
If a new or suspected neurological condition arises while your child is a member of Neuravana, our team will coordinate and facilitate referrals to the appropriate specialist.

No. Neuravana is non-urgent, outpatient, longitudinal care. For urgent symptoms (new seizures, respiratory distress, severe dehydration, severe pain, sudden neurologic changes), seek care with your child’s conventional neurologist, urgent care, or emergency services.

We order labs through Quest, Labcorp, Rupa, and other specialty labs when clinically indicated. Labs are billed separately by the laboratory. We focus on highly targeted testing to keep costs predictable.

If supplements or botanicals are recommended, they are selected conservatively and tailored to your child’s needs and labs. Product costs are separate.

We support collaboration through shared goals and, when appropriate and with signed releases, communication aligned with your child’s plan and progress measures.

Some “quick wins” (sleep comfort, GI regularity, regulation routines) may improve within the first few weeks to months. Deeper, durable change often takes longer and depends on your child’s baseline physiology and consistency of implementation. This is why care at Neuravana is delivered through a systems-based, phased-in, and closely monitored approach over one year. No outcomes can be guaranteed, but what can be guaranteed is compassionate guidance, care grounded in scientific evidence, and a comprehensive, structured care plan that reduces information overload and overwhelm.
