The Grove Wellness Approach
Greetings!
I'm Jackie Machado, MD, FAAP

My approach blends the rigor of conventional medicine with the depth of functional and integrative care, addressing root causes rather than isolated complaints, and supporting the whole child from infancy through adolescence. Every family who walks through our doors receives personalized, evidence-based care designed to optimize wellness and create lasting change.
This work is also deeply personal. As a Miami native, a mother, and a sibling to someone with autism and ADHD, I understand firsthand what it means to navigate a healthcare system that doesn't always have the answers families are looking for. My son was born prematurely — an experience that quietly shaped everything about how I practice medicine, and deepened my belief in the body's innate capacity for healing when given the right support.
Grove Wellness Kids is dedicated to my sister, and to every child who deserves a thoughtful, individualized approach to their health. My commitment is simple: to give your family the knowledge, the clarity, and the care that changes things.


Rooted in science. Guided by heart. Designed for results.
Here’s what makes our approach different:
Healing doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
Let us show you what’s possible when care is intentional, personalized, and focused on your whole child.
Your child's care journey, step by step.
A deliberate path from your first conversation to lasting resilience, guided by Dr. Jackie at every stage.
Every journey begins here. In an unhurried, in-depth intake we review your child’s health history, symptoms, triggers and goals through a root-cause lens — listening for what has been missed and looking deeper than a single visit ever allows.
You leave with clarity on whether this is the right next step, what we would measure, and how care would be structured. You can book online at our scheduling portal or call our office to speak with our team.
When the history points to deeper work, we measure what conventional care often skips. We use targeted functional labs to show what is driving the symptoms — gut function, nutrient status, immune activity, inflammation, metabolic patterns, and other root-level imbalances that a standard pediatric workup often leaves untouched.
Findings are reviewed in context and used to build the protocol that launches inside The Whole Child Reset™. Testing is how we get precise.
Our signature twelve-week, physician-guided program. Three visits. A protocol built from your child’s own data — addressing nutrition, gut, immunity, nervous system and sleep, and environment in deliberate order. We use nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and targeted therapies — designed to support your child's unique needs and goals.
This is where lab findings become care, and where the plan is adjusted as your child responds.
Wellness is a relationship, not a finish line. After the Reset, ongoing care keeps your child supported, monitored, and thriving.
Most families who still need a physician on the plan continue in Rooted Care™ — the single ongoing membership. Rooted Care is active functional partnership: protocol and prescription management, lab strategy, portal messaging, and visits at the cadence the child’s plan actually requires.
