Dr. Kruppstadt has earned Certification in Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP).About Her Practice

Dr. Kruppstadt’s pediatrics and functional medicine practice focuses on genetics, nutrition, and wellness. Functional medicine seeks to uncover the underlying causes and triggers of chronic illness (such as recurrent ear infections, asthma, allergies, eczema, autoimmune problems, autism spectrum, ADD/ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety, insomnia, obesity, etc.), utilizing genetic and other specialized lab testing. A personalized treatment plan, based on nutritional and biochemical imbalances and the unique genetic fingerprint of each patient, is generated.

Our goal is vibrant health, not just the absence of disease. Nutrition, lifestyle modification (quality sleep, relaxation, exercise, proper hydration), and supplementation may all be part of the recommended treatment plan.
