Ari Calhoun has further training from the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs, Walsh Research Institute, and the Institute of Functional Medicine.
Dr. Calhoun is passionate about supporting children who are suffering from complex-chronic disease. She has a special clinical focus in neurodevelopment (Autism, ADHD, Developmental Delay), neuroimmune disorders (PANS/PANDAS) and emotional regulation (Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Anxiety, Depression). Additionally, she feels strongly about encouraging conscious preconception practices to reduce toxin load, mitigate immune activation, and optimize nutrient stores in order to promote healthy neurodevelopment from the very beginning.

I use a functional medicine, patient centered approach that incorporates each person's unique biochemical makeup, medical history, and personal health objectives, in order to empower the patient and treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms.
My practice is focused in IV therapy, gastrointestinal disorders, environmental medicine, and genetic interpretations (23andme). I treat a wide variety of conditions such as digestive problems, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, hormonal imbalances, depression, anxiety, healthy aging, skin conditions, and many others.

Functional Medicine Naturopaths
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is an alternative model of healthcare that generally emphasizes a person-centered, rather than disease-centered, approach to health. It integrates conventional Western medical practices with more alternative approaches to health, emphasizing individualized services that take into account each individual's unique lifestyle, genetics, and medical history. The functional medicine model particularly emphasizes managing chronic conditions, especially for patients who haven't responded well to conventional medical treatments.
Practitioners include licensed medical doctors (MDs), osteopathic physicians (DOs), naturopathic doctors (NDs), and registered dietitians (RDs), who treat various conditions including chronic diseases, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, hormonal dysfunction, and metabolic syndromes. However, patients should be aware that not all practitioners who practice functional medicine have licensure, and some modalities practiced by functional medicine providers are not supported by rigorous scientific research. Nevertheless, finding a functional medicine practitioner can be transformative for many clients who seek a more integrated approach to medicine that includes lifestyle modifications, nutrition, and stress management.
