We've discussed crawling in a previous episode, so it only makes sense to discuss walking in today's episode! Dr. Chris and Dr. Toxil discuss the importance of standing and walking ON TIME and how the idea of "they will walk when they want to" may lead to delays in other parts of development!
So tune in now to learn when your baby should start standing/walking, signs to look out for to head off further delays, and strategies for parents to encourage their baby's mobility to optimize their brain development!

When we think of vision issues, we often only consider glasses or contact lenses to address them. But what if there was a way to catch potential issues as early as infancy? And if there are issues, do they really only stop at the eyes or is there a disconnect with the brain?
We are honored to have Dr. Derek Tong come speak on the podcast to discuss preventative eye check ups, how he restores the connection between the eyes and the brain, how the brain develops in relation to vision, what activities children do that can cause vision issues, and how he uses vision therapy to help children with autism!
So tune in now to learn about how a baby's developing brain connects with vision!

As a first-time mom, doing research for the best possible products for you and your baby has become more overwhelming than ever with Google at your fingertips plus the amount of well-intentioned input from family and friends!
But are these products truly safe for babies and you to use? We are discovering more and more that the label of "all-natural/green" does NOT guarantee a chemical/toxin free product.
Thankfully there is now a one-stop shop resource for you! We are privileged to have the co-founder and CEO of The Tot, Nasiba Adilova, to come speak with us about ecofriendly baby and family products!
So tune in now to hear about what baby products commonly contain toxins, why the label of natural does not mean toxin free, what toxins do to a baby's development, and what you can do to minimize toxin exposure!

We can experience a lot of challenges with our reproductive systems involving menstruation, hormones, fertility, pregnancy, and post natal bodies. We turn to diet, therapies, pharmaceuticals, surgeries, hormone treatments, even removal of some of these organs in order to alleviate our suffering, but there are other ways of addressing these issues coming to light.
One of these healing modalities is the Maya Abdominal Massage Technique developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo. We are lucky enough to have Dr. Rosita HERSELF come on the show to explain what this amazing technique is, how it can help with some of these health challenges, and how you can find a practitioner today!
Listen in to hear about Dr. Rosita's journey to Belize that led to her learning this ancient healing technique passed down through generations of Mayan Healers and how she combined this healing with anatomical and physiological science to develop the Maya Abdominal Massage protocol!

"You're my last hope", "We've been to so many doctors/specialists and had no answers", " They told me that they would grow out of it", "They told me that there's nothing they can do".
We hear these phrases so many times when parents have come to our pediatric chiropractic practices with their babies. These parents tried chiropractic care based on one last hope and often come out of the experience and called it a "miracle". For chiropractors these changes merely come from how we look at and analyze the nervous system and connection to the body through the spine.
We are fortunate this episode to have Dr. Lora Tanis, a pediatric chiropractor, on to talk about some extraordinary cases she has worked with involving newborns to give new parents another route to explore if there is a health issue with their baby.
We want to present this episode with a message of hope and support to all those parents who thought they had no other options!

Everyone knows their water is safe to drink as long as there is no dirt, bacteria, or bugs in it. While this is true, is the process of removing these products causing health issues in themselves? We bring on Vance of The Water Guys, INC to talk about why fluorine, chlorine and ammonia should be filtered out of your water, effects of these additives on the human body, other harmful substances now found in our water, why specialized filtration systems should be in every home, and how people can access this purified water.
We focus so much on the quality of food for our babies' development, it begs the question why water quality is not given the same attention in these early years of life!
Listen in to learn about how you can make sure you have the best water possible to aid in your baby's development and the overall health of your family!

We connect with a fellow chiropractor colleague, Dr. Kim Norman-Hepworth to discuss childhood brain trauma/ injuries and her personal experiences with her children's health.
Dr. Kim is a mother of three and practices a pretty holistic approach to health including chiropractic for her children. However, she needed to look further into health and neurology after one of her children suffered a severe trauma that changed his entire life.
None of the conventional neurological testing and treatments were giving her any answers, but she refused to stop seeking help for her child.
It was chance that she reconnected with Dr. Christine Anderson, who had just completed a certification in Functional Neurology...
So listen in to hear Dr. Kim's incredible story and how a chiropractic mother's determination to heal her child led her to discovering a new way of looking at neurology!

He has devoted himself to understanding the science behind man-made electomagnetic fields and how they interact with human physiology.
We had so many questions and had such an in-depth conversation that we had to split up this episode into TWO PARTS!
So tune in now to finally learn legitimate, scientifically researched information about EMFs, their effects on the human body, and why we need to pay attention when 5G comes around.

Dr. Chris uses the case of a 6 year old presenting to her office with neck pain to illustrate that issues in older children can be traced back to their neurological development.
"I can't imagine what would have happened if my 6 year old patient hadn't come in to see me for neck pain. The only way he would eat is if his mom spoon fed him and that would take 1 1/2 hours for each meal!"
Would he have grown out of this as he grew up? Would it have gotten worse?
This is why we are compelled to do our podcast on how to help babies with proper brain development in the first few years of life!
We see so many children with so many issues that could have possibly been avoided with chiropractic care.
So tune in now to our new episode series where we explore and discuss cases we have seen in our practices!

We delve into the healing of scar tissue in the pelvic floor with Ellen Heed, PhD! We had first heard of Ellen during our first guest interview with Erin about baby wearing. After hearing about the extraordinary process Erin had experienced with Ellen, we knew we had to get her on the podcast so she could explain exactly how she worked on Erin because of the effects on Erin's second pregnancy and labor!
This area of naturally healing post partum is not talked about enough and in a world where we are striving to give power back to the pregnant and postnatal mother, we believe that Ellen's contributions towards scar tissue remediation from trauma are invaluable!
So listen in to discover another way of looking at healing!
