PHIL WILSON received an honors degree in mathematics in 1970 and then spent 5 years studying the history and philosophy of mathematics in graduate school. In 1970, he had an out-of-body experience and a kundalini awakening. These two incidents made Phil very sensitive and propelled him from the world of mathematics into the world of Holistic Health. Phil became a pioneer in the 1970s, promoting fasting, herbs, and a pure diet. In 1980, he opened a health food store and health food distribution company, focusing on selling cutting-edge nutritional products and massage tools to over 1,100 health food stores and health professionals monthly. In 2002, Phil was introduced to the Relax Far Infrared Sauna. He has spent the last 22 years educating many about not only the benefits of Far Infrared Light but also the incredible difference between the light emitted from the Relax Sauna and the frequency of light energy emitted by other good infrared saunas. We not only discuss the benefits of the latest in sauna technology, but the concept of living in the now, the parasympathetic nervous system and the importance of connection to the Earth and other people. Phil considers the Relax Sauna the pinnacle of all the products he has ever promoted that promote health and freedom for the individual. He has exhibited the Relax Sauna at over 500 conferences, and out of the 150,000 who have experienced it at conferences, he has seen at least 30,000 – 40,000 minor or significant miracles. Phil's talks and interviews are highly informative, laced with humor and wisdom, and uplifting! Phil Wilson's journey. His dive into holistic health following a transformative experience has shaped his unique outlook. Phil's pioneering work with cutting-edge nutritional products and especially the Relax Far Infrared Sauna stands out. Over 6000 units sold speaks to his impact in the field. His stories of the thousands who've experienced what he calls "miracles" through the sauna are inspiring. phil@relaxsunas.com relaxsaunas.com

This week, Dr. Prather talks about the importance of the Autonomic Nervous System to our health and how to achieve a proper balance between the Parasympathetic and Sympathetic Nervous Systems. In this episode, you'll learn:—How Dr. Prather only finds about 10-15% of patients have a properly-balanced Autonomic Nervous System. And how "basically 100% of patients" were imbalanced during COVID, a trend which has continued. —Why the proper balance is 80% of our time should be in the Parasympathetic (Rest and Digest) mode and 20% of the time in the Sympathetic (Fight or Flight) mode. —The "freeze" mechanism that Dr. Prather has seen in patients where they get so stressed that they can't even function. —Why Dr. Prather says an imbalance in the Autonomic Nervous System can kick off "all" health issues, symptoms, and diseases. And the Autonomic Nervous System test at Holistic Integration that measures the function of the Vagus Nerve and the balance of the spinal cord between the Parasympathetic and Sympathetic systems. —The test Dr. Prather does on the Levator Scapulae to determine a patient's stress levels. —The deep-breathing and eye exercises which help regulate the Vagus Nerve. And the benefits of humming, gargling, cold showers, and exercise for your Vagus Nerve. —The Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Adjustment that is a specialty at Holistic Integration which Dr. Prather says is "the most important thing you can do for your health" and is the most important treatment to balance out the Autonomic Nervous System.—How Acupuncture can "immediately" decrease the Cortisol stress hormone and increase the "feel good" Oxytocin hormone.—The symptoms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). And why Dr. Prather says the Atlas "is the biggest thing we can do to improve that" and that "you are never going to be able to fix POTS without the Atlas being set into its proper position".—Plus, we're joined by Angie Nuttle of the VIP Center for Businesswomen to talk about their upcoming "VIP Week" where our own Lisa Prather will be speaking.

Hey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here, and if you've ever found yourself—or your kiddos—melting down for no obvious reason, this episode is for you. We're joined by our good friend and author Sarah Boyd to talk about something we're all dealing with: overstimulation. Between the screens, the to-do lists, the noise (literal and mental), and everything else life throws our way, it's easy to feel like your nervous system is stuck in overdrive. Sarah's new book, Turn Down the Noise, is all about how to recognize overstimulation—not just in our kids, but in ourselves—and how to regulate our stress and calm the chaos without feeling like we have to run away to the mountains (though that sounds kinda nice too
23-Minute Voice Only Yoga Nidra For those of you suffering through chronic fatigue or exhaustion, know that I deeply empathize with you. I've been there; unable to get out of bed, as much as I wanted to, as much as I tried, my body was simply unable to move. During my healing journey I brought in so many modalities to help my body heal, though few worked. However, one that proved instrumental for me was the daily practice of yoga nidra. Yoga nidra is a practice that can be helpful in recovery as it allows the mind and body to release into a deep, deep state of rest and repair. It is the only practice of its kind and its effects are cumulative, the more you practice the more you benefit. Healing from deep exhaustion or chronic fatigue requires time, patience and a belief that your body can and will heal. Consider this practice to be your healing time. Here on this channel you can find many other yoga nidra offerings from me. Thank you for listening, I appreciate you.

Embracing Emotional Confidence to Manage Emotions Managing emotions is an essential skill. Whether dealing with fear, anxiety, stress, or the everyday ups and downs, understanding how to navigate your emotions is crucial. Learning to build emotional confidence and manage emotions is essential for mental and emotional well-being. Your Emotions Manifesting Physically in Your Body The brain, the mind, body, and spirit are so interwoven. There are physical manifestations of not taking care of yourself that can lead to both acute and chronic illness. Acknowledge: The First Step to Emotional Confidence The journey to managing emotions begins with acknowledgment. It involves understanding why you feel a certain way and accepting those feelings. This step is leaning into God's compassion and recognizing that emotions are a natural response to life's events. By acknowledging emotions, we create space for self-compassion and begin the process of healing and growth. Discern: Separating Fact from Fiction Once you acknowledge your emotions, the next step towards emotional confidence is to discern. You're saying it's true that… but it's not true that… Ask God for clarity in discerning what is reality and what is not. Decide: Taking Action Toward Emotional Mastery The final step is to decide how to proceed. This decision-making process involves determining what action to take once you have clarity. It's about choosing a path aligned with your values and the truth, rather than being driven by emotional reactivity. This step also includes inviting God's courage to help you stay on the path He has laid out for you while focusing on your mindset and not returning to fear and anxiety. Having a strong identity in Christ and leaning on Him as you work to build emotional confidence and manage emotions. Building a Routine for Emotional Resilience Cultivating emotional confidence is an ongoing practice. It requires patience, regularity, and a willingness to act. You must be willing to take action. Being in the right mindset to take action Your body needs to be in the right state to logically process before you can begin the A, D, and D steps. The nervous system has two different phases: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. When you are in the sympathetic phase, that is, your fight or flight mode, you cannot effectively use your executive functioning or decision-making skills. The Parasympathetic phase is your rest and digest phase, where you want to be to logically process and use the A, D, and D steps. About Alicia Michelle Alicia Michelle is an ICF-Certified Coach (ACC, CPLC) and certified NeuroCoach™, passionate about helping Christian women learn practical, brain-based-and-biblically-accurate tools to confidently manage everyday emotions and overcome toxic patterns like perfectionism, performance, comparison, people-pleasing and more!

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I dive into why your nervous system may hold the key to conception. We all know how stress can impact fertility, but did you know that your nervous system plays a direct role in reproductive function? I'll break down how chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation affect hormone balance, digestion, and overall well-being. In this episode, I'll also explore the yin and yang dynamics of the nervous system through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine and share practical strategies to restore balance, enhance relaxation, and support your fertility naturally. Key Takeaways: Chronic stress can put the body into survival mode, diverting energy away from reproduction. A harmonious balance between action (yang) and rest (yin) is essential for optimal fertility and overall well-being. Stress impacts digestion, which in turn affects fertility. The vagus nerve plays a key role in restoring balance. Proper sleep helps regulate hormones, maintain circadian rhythms, and support menstrual health. Practices like yoga, qigong, breathwork, grounding, and acupuncture help shift the body into a restorative state conducive to conception. The heart-uterus connection in Traditional Chinese Medicine highlights the role of oxytocin in conception and reproductive health. ---- For more information about Michelle, visit www.michelleoravitz.com To learn more about ancient wisdom and fertility, you can get Michelle's book at: https://www.michelleoravitz.com/thewayoffertility The Wholesome Fertility facebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/ Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/ Transcript: [00:00:00] [00:01:00] Michelle Oravitz: Welcome back to the wholesome fertility podcast. I'm your host, Michelle Orobitz. And today I'm going to be talking about something absolutely crucial for fertility. And you may have not guessed this, but it's your nervous system. We all know how stress can impact fertility, but did you know that your nervous system plays a direct role in reproductive function for both men and women? Today, we'll cover how nervous system dysregulation affects fertility, why stress hormones like cortisol disrupt reproductive balance, and how to regulate your nervous system to boost your fertility. And because I love blending Western science and traditional Chinese medicine, we'll [00:02:00] also explore the yin and yang dynamics of the nervous system and how keeping these energies in balance is key for optimal fertility. So let's dive in. So first I'm going to talk about the autonomic nervous system, and it is basically what is hidden in the background, taking care of your body at all times, whether you're conscious of it or not. So for short, we can call it ANS. So the ANS controls involuntary functions like heart rate, digestion, and reproductive function. It has two main branches. One is called the sympathetic nervous system, and you may have heard this referred to as the fight or flight. And the other is the parasympathetic nervous system, and that is considered the rest and digest. So if you want to think of this as the yin and yang, the yang is more active and it would be more of the fight or flight. Which isn't a bad thing 'cause you know, everything that we have in our [00:03:00] bodies are there for a reason. And the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the rest and digest, would be considered more of a yin, which is more in its potential and it's more calm and inert. So when these two systems are in balance, everything works really well, and ultimately we need both in order to survive. And that is why it's there in the first place. But when stress takes over and the body shifts into survival mode, then this is considered more chronic stress. It's something that happens all the time. So we're not meant to have this So fight or flight mode happen chronically, we're meant to have it to take us out of danger, but we're not always in danger and we'll still feel it because of our stressful thoughts or stressful situations in our life will cause us to feel like we need to survive. So when this happens chronically, it creates a sympathetic nervous system in overdrive and this can directly [00:04:00] impact fertility. So just to recap on the yin and yang, if you haven't heard about this before, the yin is a more feminine, quiet, calm state. And it's more receptive. It's cooling. It is considered the moon, whereas the yang is the sun. It's more active. It moves a lot. It moves quickly. It is more the fight or flight. It has a yang energy and the yang could be more heating. So like I said, it was, more representative of the sun and mobilizes energy for action. Generally, although fight or flight and rest and digest are just one examples that have yin and yang qualities, we have yin and yang aspects of our bodies really for everything. And in order for our bodies to thrive in general, the yin and yang have to have a harmonious state. So they need to work together as a couple. And when that happens in a harmonious balanced [00:05:00] state, that is when we thrive. And you can think about it as homeostasis. The body likes homeostasis and homeostasis is really vital in order for our bodies to thrive. So we can also look at actions that we're doing. If we're doing things that are too young, too active, like type A personality type of thing, where we have to get everything done, everything on the checklist has to get done, and we're not really taking time out for the rest and digest, or for time to just get more. restorative, restorative sleep, restorative rest, or do things that are less action oriented. When we don't have that balance, then we go into a more overdrive aspect of the young, and that can burn us out. And it's important to know that when we get into a survival mode, our bodies and our minds are not focused on any kind of creativity whatsoever because we have to survive and the body's always going to favor survival over [00:06:00] reproduction. So if reproductive energy needs energy, then it's going to basically tap. It's kind of like our savings account. And the body, if it's really depleted, it's going to tap into the savings account and use that for survival, which means that it's taking energy away from reproduction. And when energy is being taken away from reproduction, then it's not going to reproduce because that is not priority. The priority is survival. So, Having this chronically can really, really wreck havoc on your hormone balance and really impact so many different systems. It can impact how you sleep. When people feel really stressed. Then they're going to have a really hard time falling asleep because their nervous system is constantly wired and ready. You know, when we're in a survival mode, we're not going to want to sleep too deeply because look at our ancestors. If they knew that they were in danger. [00:07:00] They were going to be a lot more awake. You see a lot of cats with their ears open. Their nervous system is very receptive to any kind of noise. So small noises can wake us up and we're not going to be in a state where we can just let go and feel safe. And ultimately being in the rest and digest mode really means feeling more safe. Another thing to consider is the fact that our rest and digest mode, I mean, based on the actual description of that means that it's restorative, the rest, but it also helps digestion. So we know that high stress that is chronic can lead to issues with digestion. So Our digestive health is incredibly important when it comes to fertility health. In Chinese medicine, we look at the spleen and the stomach as a pair. And those organs are actually, even though the spleen in Western medicine is more something that works on our immune system, which the spleen and stomach do to some extent, [00:08:00] because when our digestive health is really healthy, our bodies have enough energy to fight off any outside impacts. any disease, really. So it gives us the energy that we need. So we need our digestive system to work properly in order to nourish our bodies so that our bodies are able to get energy. Plus it also, with a healthy digestive system, you have less inflammation and a lot of imbalances with the digestive system or even our gut microbiome can impact. autoimmune conditions or our immunity and have it a little more hyperactive because there's chronic low grade inflammation at all times. So those are things that are actually really, really important. And as we know, chronic stress can impact our digestive system. So we have a relationship really between the brain and the gut is absolutely real And it is mediated by something called the vagus nerve. And that is a cranial nerve that is in [00:09:00] charge and actually having it stimulated can impact your heart rate and it can impact your digestive system. SoSo it has a direct communication between the brain and it has a direct communication to the enteric nervous system. Michelle Oravitz: So the enteric nervous system is basically our digestive nervous system. it runs from your mouth all the way down to your anus. So it's basically your whole digestive system has its own nervous system. And this is called the enteric nervous system. So your thoughts and your emotions and your emotional state can indirectly impact your nervous system of your gut through the vagus nerve. So your thoughts and emotional state and stress levels can impact your gut health through the nervous system. And of course, if your sleep is impacted, this is going to cause your hormones to get impacted because sleep helps restoration. It also helps deplete excess hormones and balance [00:10:00] hormones altogether. It also impacts our circadian rhythm. And for women, this is really important when it comes to their menstrual cycle, because our circadian rhythm, which is our 24 hour clock also impacts our infradian rhythm, which is the 28 to 29 day cycle, which is our menstrual cycle. And when it comes to Chinese medicine, our heart health or heart state is really, really important when it comes to fertility health, it has a direct line of communication. And a really,a direct vessel to the uterus, which through something called the bow my channel. And this is really important for conception. So many times when our hearts are not in the right place, then it can impact really how our uterus and our womb reacts. So it is one of the really most important things is really connecting to that heart center. And also we know that the love hormone oxytocin increases around ovulation and it increases [00:11:00] after intercourse. So we know that there is something to that. It has to be there for a reason if it has a role to play in conception. Although this aspect has not really been studied as much in depth. We know that it wouldn't be there unless it had played a role. And Most of the studies done on oxytocin really are geared towards labor and the body going into labor. So we know that if that's the case, and in Chinese medicine, the heart opens the uterus, that's its role. Then perhaps the heart opening the uterus opens it in labor, but perhaps it also opens it in receiving new life. Because as we can see, the levels increase around time. which is optimal time of conception around ovulation. And after a woman has an orgasm, it also increases for men as well. But in this case, I'm talking more about women because it has a role on the womb. So in cases of men, [00:12:00] their sperm health can get impacted by a dysregulated nervous system. So it's important for men to also have The proper rest and proper nervous system balance. So we also know that with men it is important to have the Yin and Yang balance as well. When it comes to overall, you know, Yang is more of a male energy and they do have a lot of that heat. But also the sperm is really surrounded by Yin fluids. So it is very Yin also in nature, even though it's very quick swimming. So it's important for both to be in balance for men as well. So again, going back to the nervous system, we're thinking about something that's active, but something that is also restorative and having those two opposites in balance. So a couple of things that you can do to balance the nervous system, and this can be done for both the men and the women, is to do things like yoga or qigong, because [00:13:00] with moving the body, you're able to really restore a state of balance. safety in the body and where the body feels safe, it has more energy for its creativity. So the body's creativity is fertility, but the same thing happens with the mind. When the mind is in chronic stress, the last thing it thinks about is creating and innovating. And usually when the mind feels safe, it will be more open we'll have more energy to create. So another thing that can be done is grounding. Grounding is incredibly calming and it also calms the nervous system because most of the time it's done outside. Although you can get a grounding mat if need be, which is something that you can purchase online, and you can use indoors. Grounding has an impact to regulate your circadian rhythm. It also helps you sleep really well at night. And it also has an impact on lowering inflammation on the body. This is scientifically proven and there's research on [00:14:00] this and there's studies about this and it's pretty amazing. It also decreases the time for wound healing, which means that it heals the body really quickly. Native Americans have always talked about why it is so important and actually that the body can become sick if it doesn't ground. So grounding is incredibly important and one of the things that is often missed these days because we have rubber soles and our feet don't really have many opportunities to ground into the earth. And what grounding really means is having your feet touch the earth, whether it's sand, dirt, or grass. An opportunity where it's able to touch the earth directly. And by doing so, It actually impacts your body's electromagnetic frequency. Another thing that can be done besides yoga and qigong is also breath work. Breath work also has a direct impact on the mind. When your mind is nervous or stressed out, you typically will have that [00:15:00] reflect in your breath by being short what happens is when we're more relaxed, we actually breathe slower and deeper. So by breathing slower and deeper, you're actually able to impact the body. and create and induce a more calming effect immediately. And also by using belly breath, you can use the diaphragm. So it's diaphragmatic breathing, which can also impact your nervous system and calm it down. Something else you can do is humming. And by humming, you're creating a certain vibration that can impact your vagus nerve. So it basically stimulates the vagus nerve which can also have a very calming effect on your nervous system. You can also listen to music. So the sound vibration in certain types of music, not all music can have a very calming effect on your nervous system. And examples for that are solfeggio frequencies [00:16:00] and even sound bowls and even classical music. So those are sounds that can create more coherence and order in your mind and your body. Something else that you can do is also do some heart math exercises. Heart math institute is something that I would definitely suggest looking into. And what they study is the connection between the heart and the brain. And when your nervous system is more calm, it shows. And when your heart brain coherence has increased, there's more coherence and order and that induces a state of more calm and a more restorative state in your body. And of course I am very biased, but, I am very big on acupuncture, which is really how I got into it. I started out as a patient myself and acupuncture, the practice of acupuncture and getting treatments for acupuncture can be incredibly beneficial for your nervous system. It is so powerful isbecause it gets you into a state of deep relaxation. [00:17:00] And when you're able to deeply relax, your body is able to restore itself and regenerate and repair. So on that topic, one of the ways that it does that is using ear points, but you can actually use your fingers and massage your own ears because your whole body is reflected in your ears. You could do the same thing for your feet as well. And I would suggest also starting out a really nice sleep hygiene routine, which means lowering lights about an hour to two hours before you go to sleep. That is going to help restore your sleep. The more sleep you get, the more calm and at ease your nervous system is going to be. So those are my tips for calming and restoring your nervous system. So that concludes my tips on balancing your nervous system. and I hope that this episode shed some light on how intertwined our nervous system is with our fertility health And why it's so important to [00:18:00] nurture a balanced nervous system state. If you have any questions and have any ideas for future episodes. Feel free to reach out to me on instagram and my handle is at the wholesome lotus fertility I'm very active on instagram. So that is the best way to find me so thank you so much for tuning in today. Have a beautiful day. [00:19:00]

We also examine how autonomic nervous system dysfunction can contribute to conditions such as Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Topics: 1. Introduction to the Nervous System and Its Role in Digestion - Overview of the enteric nervous system (ENS) and vagus nerve - Focus on location, function, and associated dysfunctions 2. Overview of the Enteric Nervous System (ENS) - ENS as one of the three divisions (Sympathetic, Parasympathetic, Enteric) - Location and function overview 3. The Mucosa - Structure and Function of the Mucosa - Epithelium (cells such as enterocytes, goblet cells, enteroendocrine cells) - Lamina propria (loose connective tissue, immune cells) - Smooth muscle layer 4. The Submucosa - Structure and Function of the Submucosa - Thicker connective tissue providing support for blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves 5. The Submucosal Plexus (Part of the ENS) - Location and Functions of the Submucosal Plexus - Regulation of digestive enzyme secretion, mucin production, and electrolyte balance - Role in creating protective mucus barriers and controlling local blood flow 6. Mucus Secretion and Protection - Role of Goblet Cells - Secretion of mucins and formation of the protective mucus layer 7. Blood Flow Regulation by the Submucosal Plexus - Role in adjusting blood supply during digestion 8. Neuronal Cells of the Submucosal Plexus - Sensory Neurons: Detecting changes in the gut - Interneurons: Processing and integrating sensory input - Secretomotor Neurons 9. Communication Between Neurons and Epithelial Cells - Chemical Signaling and Neurotransmitters - ACh and Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) - Serotonin's role in activating sensory neurons and regulating secretion 10.

Polyvagal Theory is an intriguing sounding term that holds a lot of answers to how the body perceives threats and gives a surprising amount of actionable take homes that we can use in our everyday lives. Join Sam Webster in this episode of the Growth Mindset Psychology Podcast as he dives deep into the fascinating world of fear, security, emotional intelligence and neuroscience. There are three main states in which our nervous system operates: Sympathetic (fight or flight) Parasympathetic (rest and digest) Dorsal vagal (shutdown) They impact our reactions, mental health, and ability to engage with the world.

The course of her career and her life took a sudden turn when she developed myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and environmental sensitivities in 1989 during her psychiatry residency. She experienced the same lack of informed care that everyone else faces and as a result made the decision to focus her practice on chronic complex diseases. Since then, she has worked closely with thousands of patients integrating conventional and integrative approaches to help them improve their health and function. In 2017 Ellie had a significant improvement in health. She has spent a lot of time considering what led to this and how to teach it to others. Since retirement from medical practice at the end of 2022, Dr. Stein devotes her time to providing online education -- teaching actionable, no-to-low-cost strategies to people worldwide who are seeking guidance and support for chronic, complex diseases. Knowledge puts power in the hands of the people who need them. She finds it so rewarding to get messages from people who are improving their health and are regaining hope that improvement is possible with knowledge that already exists.

In today's episode of the Balancing Chaos Podcast, Chad and Kelley sit down with Dr. Christian Gonzalez to discuss the importance of the mind body connection in healing chronic disease. Dr. Christian Gonzalez, aka Dr. G, began his career as a naturopathic doctor in 2014, but it wasn't until his mother passed of cancer that he decided to shift his focus to oncology. Through his work Dr. G has made it his mission for people to understand that the relationships we have with our homes, the environment, and the people in our lives all play a role in the development of chronic disease. As he studied this concept more, Dr. G has become extremely passionate about environmental medicine as well as the mind, body, spirit connection.Throughout the episode today, Kelley, Chad and Dr. G explore the concept of separating oneself from their ego to find inner peace and balance within the physical body. Dr. G shares insights on the mind-body connection and the importance of creating space within the physical body to alleviate stress and thereby help to prevent the onset of chronic disease from hormonal imbalances to cancer. The conversation details everything from what types of symptoms and conditions arise (from cancer to cortisol imbalances and everything in between) when we're not deeply connected to our physical bodies and when we're repressing emotions, how to begin to feel tension within your body and how to process it rather than store it, how to help our children navigate their emotions rather than getting them caught in a generational trauma cycle, the TRUTH about the impact of alcohol on your physical health and what to prioritize if you want to heal a chronic condition. Get ready for an insightful episode that will empower you to explore your emotional and mental health in order to heal your physical body.

Dr. Tony Ebel discusses the surge in neurodevelopmental disorders like autism and ADHD, stressing the need to address both genetic and environmental factors. He outlines a healing approach, focusing on restoring the nervous system and addressing gut health. Dr. Ebel advocates for a comprehensive care plan including chiropractic adjustments, progress tracking scans, and goal-setting. He warns about the impact of excessive screen time on children's nervous systems, emphasizing the importance of creative play and parental self-care. Dr. Ebel mentions his podcast, Experience Miracles, as a resource for parents seeking support and solutions. Takeaways The prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and ADHD has been skyrocketing in recent years. Addressing the underlying causes of these disorders, which involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors, is crucial for effective treatment. The sequence of healing involves restoring the nervous system, addressing the gut and microbiome, and layering on additional healing modalities. Regular chiropractic adjustments, scans to track progress, and milestones to indicate improvements are important components of a comprehensive care plan. Parents should set big goals for their child's recovery and find a practitioner who understands the importance of the sequence of healing. Excessive screen time, particularly with iPads, can lead to sympathetic nervous system dominance and hinder proper neurodevelopment in children. Parasympathetic activation, creative play, and investigation are essential for optimal neurodevelopment. Parents should take care of their own nervous systems and seek chiropractic care for themselves and their children. The Experiencxe Miracles podcast provides valuable resources and support for parents seeking solutions for their children's health challenges.

She offers concrete tips that she has successfully used with her own patients to get them into the parasympathetic healing state, like scanning the horizon and eating meals at the same time everyday.
