As the new year begins, it’s natural to feel hopeful about change. We set resolutions, organize planners, join gyms, and promise ourselves that this will be the year we finally feel our best. But before long, old patterns sneak back in…

Every parent knows the sound — that first sniffle, the deep cough that lingers, the sleepless nights that follow. Winter viruses like RSV, colds, and the flu can turn a cozy season into weeks of stress and worry.

If your child seems “off” but no one can quite explain why — they’re tired but can’t sleep, anxious but can’t calm down, or complain of stomach pain with no clear cause — dysautonomia may be part of the picture.

Overuse of antibiotics is a growing concern for kids’ health. While life-saving in the right moments, frequent use disrupts the gut microbiome, weakens immune strength, and creates stress patterns in the nervous system.

Thanksgiving is meant to be a time of gratitude, connection, and slowing down to enjoy the company of family and friends. But let’s be honest—more often than not, it comes with a fair share of stress.

When most people hear ADHD, they think of hyperactivity, poor focus, or impulsive behavior. But beneath those behaviors, what we often see is a sensitive, overwhelmed nervous system.

When most parents hear the phrase birth trauma, they think of the “big” events—an emergency C-section, forceps, or vacuum extraction. And while those are certainly significant, the truth is that nearly every birth exerts some level of stress on a newborn’s nervous system.

Feeling better is just the start. The real transformation happens in years 2 and 3—when your nervous system is rewired and hardwired for resilience.

When parents hear the term ADHD, they often think of restless behavior, poor focus, or emotional outbursts. It’s one of the most common childhood diagnoses, with nearly 10% of school-aged children receiving the label.

If your child melts down over loud noises, can’t stand tags in their clothing, or struggles with everyday transitions—it’s not just behavior. It’s not just “sensitivity.” It’s a sign that their nervous system may be overwhelmed.

When most people start chiropractic care, it’s because something in their health isn’t working the way it should. Headaches, poor sleep, digestive struggles, focus issues, constant stress—the list goes on.

One of the most common questions I hear from parents is, “How long will it take for my child to get better?” And while I wish I could say there’s a magic adjustment that fixes everything instantly — that’s not how the nervous system works. The truth is, healing happens in phases.

When a child struggles with focus, behavior, sleep, digestion, or emotional regulation, most parents understandably want relief as quickly as possible. But when it comes to neurological health, there’s no “instant fix.”

Why do we start every care journey with INSiGHT scans? Because healing doesn’t happen by chance—it happens by design. These safe, non-invasive scans give us the full picture of how your nervous system is functioning beneath the surface.

You may have heard of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) from a teacher, therapist, or concerned family member—or maybe you’ve simply Googled “why does my child hate tags and loud noises?” Sensory Processing Disorder isn’t a buzzword or a trend. It’s a neurological challenge that affects how the brain receives, organizes, and responds to sensory input.

Fall is a beautiful season—but it’s also one of the most stressful for your child’s nervous system. Shifting routines, less sunshine, more screen time, and immune stress can quickly lead to emotional dysregulation, frequent illness, and poor sleep.

When it comes to your child’s health (or your own), symptoms are only the tip of the iceberg. Whether it’s anxiety, poor sleep, digestion issues, emotional outbursts, or developmental delays—these outward signs are often indicators of a deeper problem: nervous system dysregulation.

More teens than ever are facing anxiety, sleep disruption, and emotional overload — and tech overuse is playing a major role. In this video, Dr. Drake unpacks how screen time impacts the teen nervous system, why symptoms linger even when screens are off, and how INSiGHT scanning and chiropractic care help restore calm, sleep, and emotional regulation.

When the air turns crisp and the leaves start to change, so do our family rhythms. Fall is a season of transitions—new school routines, shifting sleep patterns, busy weekends, and more time indoors. While it’s one of the coziest times of year, it also brings fresh challenges to our health: immune stress, increased screen time, emotional dysregulation, and nervous system overload.

Wondering why your chiropractor recommends a specific number of visits? In this video, Dr. Drake explains the why behind neurologically focused care planning and how we use INSiGHT scans to build personalized strategies that create lasting change—especially for kids with stress, sensory, sleep, or emotional regulation challenges.
