Transform your child’s health using functional ​and integrative medicine so that they can live

a life of extraordinary health.

Functional and Integrative Medicine

for Children with ADHD or Behavior Issues

We help your child stop thinking

“I’m a bad kid” -- and start saying

“It’s GREAT to be ME!”

Parents of children with ADHD and behavioral ​challenges deserve better answers.

Finally......

You can learn the actual underlying cause

of your child’s behavior and attention issues.

AND......

Once we know the cause, we can use targeted, ​effective treatment that truly helps alleviate ​the symptoms that cause your child to suffer.

As a pediatrician, I’ve spent the past 20+ years connecting ​with families of kids with ADHD and behavioral challenges.

I meet parents every day who share these frustrations:

• “I’ve tried everything – and it’s still not working!”
  

• “I’m embarrassed by my child’s behavior…”
  

• “We tried the pills, and it completely changed his behavior.”
  

• “She’s so moody and not herself every time we switch dosages.”
  

• “I hate seeing how other kids just reject my child. He doesn’t get ​invited to birthday parties. He has zero friends.”
  

• “The smallest things, like getting dressed, brushing teeth, even ​putting on shoes is an all-out war!”
  

• “My partner and I are not in a good place because we can’t agree on ​what my daughter needs.”
  

• “I love my child, but I don’t actually like them right now… Can I even ​say that?!”
  

How much of that sounds familiar?

If so, that feels incredibly lonely, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I see you.

This may be your story, with all of the frustration, tears, and everyday ​battles.

So, you desperately search for answers.

Your doctor tried prescribing a handful of pills, but it completely ​changed your child’s personality. They lost weight, the side effects were ​awful, or it didn’t work.

Your friends and relatives, while well-meaning, hit you with a blur of ​suggestions…

And now, you’re more exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed, and angry ​with yourself, the medical system, and your child.

I hear these stories every single day.

I work with each family to create a personalized program ​that leverages functional and integrative medicine to help ​heal your child’s underlying health issues contributing to ​their ADHD and/or behavior challenges.

With the unique, personalized plan we create, your child ​can feel great every day and ​handle whatever comes their ​way. My child-focused approach prioritizes Brain-Body ​Symbiosis™ and features:

• Detailed Lab Evaluation - We identify nutritional ​​deficiencies, toxicities, gut microbiome health, and ​​other factors that may be affecting your child’s overall ​health so that you will know what their body needs to ​be healthier.
  

• Customized Nutrition Evaluation - We explore ​managing food choices (even for the pickiest of ​eaters) ​- so you can be sure your child is getting the ​right nutrients.
  

• Nutritional Supplement Prescription - What ​supplements do your child’s body and brain need to be ​at their best? We do a thorough analysis of their ​nutritional profile to find deficiencies and recommend ​supplements to fill in any gaps.
  

• Sleep Optimization Analysis - Sleep is the catalyst for ​your child’s long term well-being. With optimal sleep ​arrangements, your child can better manage ​emotions, impulses, and attention throughout the day.
  

• Movement and Fitness - What are the right activities ​and exercises best suited for your child's needs? ​Making movement fun at an early age leads to a ​lifetime of wellness.
  

• On-going Follow-Up - Life happens. Change is ​inevitable. You deserve to know how to make the ​adjustments your child needs as they grow.
  

Finally.....you can watch your child soar, excel in school and ​with friends, express themselves with confidence, and ​enjoy life!

Common Questions

Does your office accept insurance?

Our practice does not work with any insurance companies.

Unfortunately, insurance does not cover the detailed visits that are necessary to ​create the change I know is possible for your child.

Insurance does cover some of the lab tests, but not all of them. Whenever ​possible, I will order labs that your insurance likely covers. However, there are ​some specific tests that are critical to getting to the root cause of a child’s ​ADHD or behavior issues that insurance does not cover.

Where is your office?

We are a 100% virtual office based in Georgia and can see any family living in ​Georgia. I will meet with you using a secure, HIPAA compliant video ​conferencing program.

What if we need to continue seeing you longer than the typical

6 months?

Six months is the average time needed to

• develop and implement your child’s unique plan,
• evaluate and make adjustments as improvements are noted,
• and revise the plan over time as your child’s symptoms resolve.

However, some children have more complex medical findings that take longer ​to resolve. Some issues require monitoring longer than 6 months to make the ​necessary adjustments to their medical plan and evaluate the results of the ​change.

I will work with your child for whatever amount of time is needed to help them ​achieve the extraordinary health that I know is possible. I am here for you and ​your child!

Do you prescribe medication for ADHD or behavior issues?

I do not prescribe medications for ADHD or behavior issues. My goal is to ​optimize your child’s health so that their brain and body function as optimally as ​they can.

However, I do believe that some children, even with optimized mental and ​physical health, require medication. What I have learned by working with ​families is that with the proper functional and integrative medical care and with ​appropriate counseling, most children do not need medication.

What if my child is taking medication for ADHD or behavior issues? ​Can you still be our doctor?

Yes! I would love to be your child’s doctor whether or not he or she is taking ​daily medication. Often, when we optimize your child’s health, their medication ​dose can be decreased or even stopped. If we need to consider changing a ​medication dose or stopping medication, I will work closely with the doctor that ​is prescribing your child’s medication.

What if my child is seeing a counselor, therapist, or other ​specialist? Can you still help us?

Yes! In fact, children who have ADHD or behavior issues (or both) should ​ALWAYS be cared for by a pediatric counselor in addition to any medical ​treatment they are receiving.

Multiple studies show that a pediatric counselor who is specifically trained to ​help parents and their children with ADHD or behavior issues is a critical part of ​your child’s success team.

When we work together, are you now my child’s primary ​pediatrician?

As a pediatrician, I work as a functional and integrative medicine consultant in ​conjunction with your child’s current health care team and am not considered a ​replacement for your primary care pediatrician. I require all new patients to have ​a primary care pediatrician to cover emergencies and routine care and ​screening.

About Me

I am Dr. Ashley O'Shields, M.D., a board certified ​pediatrician.

Over the last 20 years, I have had the privilege of ​helping thousands of families learn how to be ​healthy. I trained in a traditional medical school and ​residency program, but I was always primarily ​interested in preventive care and helping kids and ​families learn how to be healthy, minimizing the use ​of medications whenever possible.

Because I have also been a patient with my own ​complex medical issues, I understand the ​importance of having a doctor who takes the time to ​pay attention and implement a detailed, ​individualized plan of care that is specific to your ​child’s needs.

So that I can provide your child with the same ​detailed, comprehensive, individualized care that I ​would expect, I have completed additional training ​in nutrition and integrative and functional ​psychiatry so that I can be the best medical doctor ​for your family.

I am a doctor who wants to find the cause of a ​medical problem, and first I look for treatment that ​is natural. It is truly amazing what testing and ​natural treatments are available for children.

This kind of care leads to extraordinary ​health.

Kind Words from Parents...

She is the best! Would not trust my children with any other physician.
