I am Erika Krumbeck – pediatric naturopathic physician, Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Pediatrics, and founder of Naturopathic Pediatrics PRO. Since 2013 I have served families in Missoula, Montana, practicing integrative primary care grounded in both compassion and scientific rigor. I have walked alongside parents, collaborated with a broad spectrum of healthcare professionals, and asked the questions that modern medicine too often forgets to ask: how do we truly support the health of a child – body, mind and spirit?
I built this platform for providers like you – those who want to offer natural, evidence-based therapies with the same confidence and precision as any conventional protocol. Inside you will find clinical tools, treatment guides, and pediatric protocols that are designed not just to educate, but to equip you in real-world practice.
Every resource here is grounded in research. Every guide is made to be used – not just read. This is pediatric integrative medicine, streamlined and strengthened for integrative clinicians who want to do more than keep up – they want to lead.

What is Tyrosine and what is it used for? L-Tyrosine, commonly referred to as just tyrosine, is a conditionally essential amino acid that the body makes from another amino acid, phenylalanine. Tyrosine is essential for the production of a family of neurotransmitters called catecholamines that includes epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine.1
What is thiamine? Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is a water soluble vitamin found naturally in some foods and added to others. All of the B vitamins are essential for energy production because they help convert carbohydrates to glucose, the body’s primary fuel source. Thiamine is important for nutrient metabolism, a
What is Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and what does it do? Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat soluble compound synthesized in the body. It is commonly referred to as ubiquinone because it is found in almost every cell in all living organisms, making it ubiquitous in nature. CoQ10 is found in
Copper is a mineral found in all body tissues and most secretions. It serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in energy production, iron metabolism, and neurotransmitter synthesis.1 Additionally, copper is a cofactor for superoxide dismutase, an important part of the body’s antioxidant defense against oxidative stress. Copper is necessary
What is 5-HTP? 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a chemical the body makes from tryptophan, an amino acid found in food. After tryptophan is converted to 5-HTP it is converted again, but this time to serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that carries messages from the brain to various parts of the body
As a pediatric naturopathic doctor I have over ten years of experience using therapeutic elimination diets in children. I have seen many cases of dramatic reversal of chronic disease or behavior concerns. That said, in the last few years I have found myself increasingly hesitant to recommend restrictive diets, especially
