Memorable Moments:
“What if your child’s meltdowns aren’t about behavior—but about how their brain and body are communicating behind the scenes?”
“The vagus nerve is the ‘unsung hero’ of the nervous system—it regulates emotions, digestion, focus, and even inflammation.”
“When the vagus nerve is weak, kids with ADHD struggle with impulsivity, anxiety, sensory overload, and chronic gut issues.”
“Constipation, reflux, and stomach pains? That’s vagus nerve dysfunction at work—not just a diet issue.”
“The vagus nerve controls relaxation and recovery—if your child stays in fight-or-flight mode, they may struggle to calm down after a meltdown.”
“Most parents have never been told that birth trauma, stress, and even antibiotics can impact their child’s vagus nerve.”
“An overstressed nervous system shuts down digestion, disrupts sleep, and keeps kids stuck in hyperactivity.”
“Chiropractic care isn’t about popping bones—it’s about resetting the nervous system and helping kids regulate naturally.”
“Parents—your nervous system impacts your child’s. When you regulate your own stress, you help them regulate theirs.”
“ADHD healing doesn’t happen overnight—but when the nervous system is reset, the transformation is life-changing.”
