The Meehan MINDSET™
Dr. Meehan created the
MINDSET protocol years ago to help patients focus on 7 key
elements to promote health and wellness. These same key
elements are also critically important to children’s well-being. MINDSET stands for Microbiome, Inflammation, Nutrition,
Detoxification, Sleep, Exercise, and Total Hormone Balance.
At MINDSETkids, we apply these same key elements which help shape your child's
foundation for a healthy, happy life.
