Empower Your Child with Evidence-based Care, Lifestyle Medicine & Nutrition via Telehealth Services

As a trusted Toronto-based, holistic pediatric lifestyle clinic, we offer a collaborative, evidence-based approach to preventing, treating, and reversing chronic conditions.

Our team combines expert care, modern technology, and personalized health coaching to support your child’s unique journey to lifelong wellness.

Help your child unlock their healthiest future - starting today.

A clinic designed around your child

Our mission is simple: to support lifelong health and wellness for every child. We are a multidisciplinary clinic where medical experts, health coaches, and wellness professionals work together to provide holistic, personalized care that supports the whole child - mind and body.

Our approach goes beyond treating symptoms. We focus on preventing, treating, and even reversing chronic conditions by addressing root causes through nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and social connections. Using the latest medical knowledge, modern technology, and family-centered health coaching, we empower children and families to build sustainable, healthy habits that last.

We make expert pediatric care accessible, convenient, and child-friendly. Our clinic is designed to be a place where children feel safe, understood, and supported as they grow, heal, and thrive.

The 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine

Pediatric lifestyle medicine helps children thrive by focusing on six key areas of health. Each pillar works together to support growth, development, and overall well-being.

Nutrition Counselling

Children learn how to make balanced food choices, enjoy a plant-forward diet, and develop healthy habits that last a lifetime. Guidance is personalized to fit each child’s needs and family routines.

Social Connection and Community

Strong relationships with family, friends, and peers are vital for emotional and social development. Encouraging positive connections help children feel supported and valued.

Restorative Sleep

Adequate sleep is essential for growth, learning, and emotional health. Pediatric lifestyle medicine helps establish consistent routines that ensure children get the restorative sleep they need.

Avoiding Risky Substances

Education about the dangers of ultra-processed foods, excessive screentime, and other vices (alcohol, smoking, etc.) is introduced in an age-appropriate way, helping children make safe choices.

Stress Management and Mental Wellness

Children learn healthy ways to manage stress and build emotional resilience. Simple mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises, and supportive guidance help children feel calm and confident.

Physical Activity and Movement

Regular activity (whether play, sports, or exercise) supports strong muscles and bones, improves mood, and boosts energy. Children are encouraged to move in ways they enjoy, making exercise fun instead of a chore.

Conditions & challenges addressed

Our team supports families through a wide range of health challenges using proven lifestyle medicine principles. Whether your child is facing physical symptoms, emotional struggles, or chronic conditions, our team creates personalized care plans to help them feel better and live healthier lives.

We address the following conditions and concerns:

If your child is struggling in any of these areas, we’re here to help with compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your family’s needs.

Our holistic care process

We follow a compassionate, structured care process designed to give your child the personalized support they need to thrive. Here's what to expect:

Get a referral

To begin, your child will need a referral from your family doctor or pediatrician. Once we receive and accept the referral, your child is ready to start their journey with our holistic pediatric lifestyle clinic.

Complete Medical History

We will ask you to fill out a detailed intake form. This helps us understand your child's full health story—every detail you share helps us build the most effective care plan possible.

Personalized One-on-One Consultation

Once we have all the necessary information, we will schedule a one-on-one virtual consultation with our pediatrician. During this consultation, we will discuss your child's health concerns, answer your questions, and begin working together to create a plan that fits your child's needs and your family's goals.

Custom Care Plan and Implementation

Your child may be referred to members of our multidisciplinary care team, which includes a dietitian, social workers, wellness coach, and other specialists.
The plan may include group sessions, SMART family goals, and helpful tracking tools for meals, sleep, activity, and more. Engaging resources such as nature walks, cooking challenges, and daily meditations make it easier for your child to build healthier habits.

Ongoing Support and Outcomes Tracking

We are committed to your child's long-term success. Your child will receive regular follow-ups, encouragement, and care adjustments based on their progress. Over time, we will collaborate with your primary care provider to ensure continued support as your child grows. Our goal is sustainable, lifelong wellness for your child and your whole family.

What our clients say

My daughter was struggling tremendously with anxiety.

We are so thankful for Dr. Patel's approach to health and healing. It’s been two years now and my daughter has only continued to improve. I highly recommend Reset Pediatrics to anyone who has a child struggling.

JP
Parent of a child with anxiety

We began working with Dr. Rikin Patel about a year ago, during a particularly challenging time for my 6 year old son who has autism.

I’ve recommended Dr. Patel to many other parents. My advice is: trust the process, ask questions, and commit to trying his suggestions for at least a few weeks. If you do, you’ll start to see real changes.

Get a Referral

First, your child will need a referral to see the pediatrician at RESET. You can either get referred to our practice by your family doctor or pediatrician.

Complete Medical History

Once your child’s referral is accepted into the RESET program, we will send you an intake form to fill out. Please take your time to complete the form thoroughly.

Depending on the reason your child is coming to RESET, you may be asked to take them for blood work to help us to better understand their needs. This is an important first step in your child’s care.

One-on-One Consult

Once we have all of your child’s information, we will set up an appointment for your child to meet the RESET pediatrician. This can be virtually or in person.

At this one-on-one consult, the pediatrician will meet with you and your child to discuss your child’s health and work together to build a care plan.

Care Plan

Based on your child’s condition and circumstance, they may:

  • Be enrolled in a Health Optimization program where they may receive support from their Care Team to optimize their meal-planning, sleep, physical activity plan, mental health and social connections
  • The Care Team may include: pediatrician, plant-based dieticians, social workers, exercise therapists, physiotherapists, wellness coaches, alternative healthcare providers, and others, where applicable
  • Join group counselling sessions to learn alongside other families with similar circumstances
  • Be asked to set SMART family goals and keep a record of their meals, exercise, sleep, screen time, mood, stress, and other lifestyle measures to review during follow-up appointments
  • Receive a Family Activity checklist, which could include viewing educational content, going for nature walks, completing cooking challenges, daily meditations, and more

Follow Up

Partnership with your child’s Care Team–expect to see progress over time. How often and how long your child will participate in the RESET program will depend on their reason for joining the program.

Over time, your child will return to their primary care provider for continual assessment.

Frequently asked questions

What is lifestyle medicine?

Lifestyle medicine is an approach to healthcare that uses evidence-based lifestyle interventions to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic diseases. Chronic conditions in the pediatric population are growing. Lifestyle medicine recognizes that many of these conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and cholesterol, digital addictions, and headaches (to name a few) are strongly impacted by lifestyle factors, including diet, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and social support.The core principles of lifestyle medicine work to empower parents and children to make healthy choices and adopt behaviours that promote overall well-being. Rather than relying only on medications, lifestyle medicine practitioners focus on addressing the underlying root causes of disease through lifestyle changes.

What can I expect when I get started with Reset?

You can expect quality time and dedicated attention to address your child's health concerns. Once we receive a referral from your physician, you will complete a lifestyle-focused questionnaire sent through our secure online portal. This questionnaire provides important data that helps our team better address your child's specific health concerns before the first visit. Depending on the nature of your child's concern, you will typically be seen by our pediatrician for an initial assessment. Lab tests may be ordered as needed, and we will determine if other Care Team members should be involved. By the end of your first visit, we will develop a complete care and follow-up plan for your child. Because we focus on lifestyle interventions, your child will likely benefit from seeing multiple members of our Care Team.

Where are you located? Are the appointments virtual or in person?

To maximize accessibility and convenience, we conduct all visits through our telemedicine platform. This means appointments are entirely virtual. If any team member determines that an in-person meeting is necessary, we will collaborate with you to schedule an in-person appointment for your child.

How should I prepare for an initial appointment?

Before coming to the appointment, it is important that all forms and questionnaires are filled out and returned by the due date requested. This allows the Care Team the necessary time to review your child’s medical history before the appointment. The information gathered prior also then facilitates a more effective and efficient appointment to maxmize the time spent together. If the pre-appointment forms are not completed in time, your child’s appointment will be rescheduled.

Should my child be present at individual appointments?

Yes, your child should be present at individual appointments

How do I get my child booked into the clinic?

All children must have a referral sent by their family doctor, pediatrician or nurse practitioner to Reset. Families will be contacted by the clinic to start the intake process.

Will there be a fee if I don’t cancel my appointment in time?

If an appointment is not cancelled or rescheduled more than 48 hours before the appointment a fee of $100 will be charged.
