A FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE SERVICE
Children’s Brain, Behavior & Health Support
Uncovering hidden infections, toxins, and deficiencies through advanced functional medicine testing — and building a personalized protocol to support your child’s healing from the inside out.
Led by Allison McWhorter, ND · Heights of Health
ABOUT THIS SERVICE
When something feels off and no one has answers
Many children struggle with symptoms that conventional medicine labels as behavioral, psychiatric, or “just how they are” — but often there’s an underlying physiological reason that hasn’t been investigated.
This service uses functional medicine lab testing to look beneath the surface: identifying infections, toxin burdens, gut imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies that may be driving your child’s symptoms.
Once we have a clear picture, we build a targeted, personalized supplement and lifestyle protocol to support true healing.

PATIENT STORY
“For years, I struggled with waking up in the middle of the night, unable to take a full breath. It was a frightening and strange sensation — not asthma, but a feeling that no matter how deeply I inhaled, I just couldn’t get enough oxygen. Eventually, I discovered I had a Lyme coinfection called Babesia. After addressing it through a detox protocol at Heights of Health, the breathing difficulties completely disappeared and haven’t returned. I later learned that what I was experiencing is known as ‘air hunger,’ a common symptom of this infection. No doctor had ever tested for it and dismissed my symptoms as panic attacks — which they clearly weren’t. I’m incredibly grateful to have my normal breathing and restful sleep back!”
