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 Glutathione? Glutathione, often referred to as the “master antioxidant,” is a naturally occurring molecule found in the cells. Glutathione is a tripeptide, meaning it is made of three amino acids (cysteine, glutamine, and glycine). It is produced in the liver and plays a crucial role in maintaining overall
Migraines in pediatric populations present a significant challenge, both for families and healthcare providers. As the search for effective, safe, and well-tolerated preventive treatments continues, Petasites hybridus—commonly known as butterbur—has emerged as a compelling option. In this article, I’ll dive into the clinical application of butterbur for pediatric migraine management, exploring
What is L-theanine? Theanine, an amino acid primarily found in tea leaves, particularly Camellia sinensis, and some mushrooms, has garnered considerable attention in recent years for its potential health benefits. Structurally similar to glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in brain function, theanine is known for its ability to cross the blood-brain
Fish oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA, is gaining recognition for its potential to help manage asthma, especially in children. These healthy fats, found primarily in fish and seafood, have impressive anti-inflammatory properties, making them an excellent option for asthma treatment. When considering fish oil for
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) has a long history of use in traditional medicine for a variety of conditions, notably its application as a sleep aid and treatment for anxiety. Today, its application has expanded to include attention deficit and hyperactivity syndromes, helping to calm and focus the mind.1 Despite its historical and
Why is magnesium so important for children? Magnesium is an important mineral that serves as a cofactor for more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body.1 Magnesium contributes to hundreds of ATP-requiring processes involved in metabolism, energy production, oxidative phosphorylation, and glycolysis. Magnesium is required to break down carbs and fat

A recent study shines light on a potential connection between low serum magnesium levels and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). What does the science say—and what might it mean for the
Read time: 3 minutes Astrocytes—once considered mere support cells in the brain—are now emerging as major players in neurodevelopment and inflammation. A new study uncovers how zinc, an essential trace mineral, helps regulate astrocyte activity via the PAF receptor pathway. Could zinc deficiency during development silently tip the scales toward
