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.
Welcome to Naturopathic Pediatrics PRO.
What is the function of vitamin B6? Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin known as pyridoxine.

Vitamin B6 performs a wide variety of functions throughout the body in these active coenzyme forms. It is
Introduction Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) in children and adolescents present a complex clinical challenge within the realm of pediatric medicine, characterized by chronic abdominal pain and multifaceted diagnostic criteria. These disorders encompass a spectrum of conditions such as functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, abdominal migraine and FAP-not otherwise specified,
What is Quercetin? Quercetin is a plant pigment found in a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains.

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.

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

Read time: 4 minutes Within pediatric integrative medicine, micronutrient status is increasingly recognized as a determinant of neurodevelopmental stability. Nutrients such as iron, zinc, magnesium, and essential fatty acids are foundational for neurotransmitter synthesis and synaptic modulation. Vitamin D, traditionally viewed through the lens of bone and immune health, has emerged
Read time: 4 minutes Few clinical presentations demand more nuanced intervention than the underweight child with selective eating. These are not simply “picky eaters.” Many exhibit entrenched feeding difficulties—sensory sensitivities, food rigidity, gut dysfunction, or features of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). These children often fail to meet energy requirements

Increasingly, however, it is recognized as a determinant of long-term pediatric health. The intrauterine environment—shaped by maternal diet, lifestyle, and metabolic status—acts as an early regulator of immune system development, metabolic programming,
