Welcome to Neuronutrition Associates
We focus on systems, not symptoms

Our mission at Neuronutrition Associates is to deliver outstanding functional and integrative pediatric medical care and provide support to families in raising healthy, happy children. From prevention to treatment, we use both traditional and holistic systems of medicine, a variety of services and unique vantage points to create comprehensive individualized treatment plans for each patient. We have extensive experience solving complex pediatric cases using the most current laboratory testing and nutraceutical treatments. Our practitioners are also trained in traditional medicine, so our patients get the best of both worlds.

We believe an integrative approach is the key to wellness. In other words, many symptoms seen in children are caused by a combination of factors. These can include a variety of genetic and environment factors, certain food products and chemicals, weak or dysfunctional immune, nervous and digestive systems, and abnormal detoxification. We look for underlying causes of a child’s symptoms and merge traditional medical knowledge with natural remedies to treat them. We integrate nutrition, supplementation, detoxification and other functional methods to support our patients.

Neuronutrition Associates is committed to helping heal children and prevent disease by focusing on the whole child instead of just the symptoms. We will listen, guide, and assist the parents and patient throughout this process. The path to healing can take time, and we will be here to support the challenges and improvements of each child along their healing journey. We address the root cause of symptoms and treat organically in order to fully restore children to their most healthy being. Our approach includes creating an environment of caring and compassion involving both parents and the child in the treatment plan, and using evidenced-based practice to promote individual health and wellness.

Hi there! I am Alexis Maple and I have been a member of the Neuronutrition Associates team for over 5 years now. In that time, seeing the incredible effort Dr. Emily Gutierrez has put into her patients and the tremendous outcomes, I developed a deep passion for true health and wellness. I have studied with Oh Baby Holistic Nutrition to achieve my Nutrition Consultant Certification and am studying with Functional Medicine Coaching Academy to become board certified for Health Coaching. When I am not learning all things nutrition and health, I enjoy cooking, reading, gardening with the family, and tending to my chickens! Areas of wellness I am particularly passionate about are preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, and children! I am thrilled to be mentored by Dr. Gutierrez and to help my community and beyond be the best versions of themselves.
