What Parents Aren’t Told About Behavior, Reflexes & the Nervous System with Dr. Karla Mehlenbacher
If your child struggles with big emotions, sensory overwhelm, hyperactivity, food aversion or meltdowns, this episode is for you.
We’re joined by Dr. Karla Mehlenbacher, a Board-Certified Chiropractic Neurologist and founder of Take Root Brain & Body, to explore what’s really behind so many of the behavioral challenges today’s parents are facing. Spoiler: it’s not always ADHD.
Work with Dr. Karla LINK
From primitive reflexes to nervous system dysregulation, Dr. Karla breaks down how a child’s brain and body adapt to stress and what signs we’re missing when we rely only on behavior labels. You’ll learn why some kids are stuck in fight, flight, or freeze… and how small, supportive changes at home can create safety, connection, and real growth.
This holistic, science-backed conversation is essential for moms, dads, teachers, and caregivers navigating parenting in a modern world. We also talk about what it looks like for adults to heal their own nervous system and why that’s the first step toward parenting with clarity and compassion.
Topics include:
What primitive reflexes reveal about brain development
The truth about behavior vs. biology
Movement, meltdowns, and misdiagnosis
How to support sensory-sensitive or emotionally overwhelmed kids
Tools that help parents and children co-regulate
