About this listen
Your child was making incredible progress in chiropractic care. Their scans were improving, symptoms were fading, you were counting down the visits until wellness. Then suddenly—everything stalled. What happened?
In this revealing episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz share the pattern they keep seeing in their offices: kids who plateau in their healing journey until their parents get under care too. Through real patient stories—including a blood sugar case that finally broke through when parents started getting adjusted, and babies who can't settle because mom's anxiety creates a frequency they're tuned into—the doctors reveal the powerful science of co-regulation.
Discover why your child's nervous system is constantly mirroring yours (even when you think you're hiding your stress well), how tears of joy literally look different under a microscope than tears of sorrow, why entire families often show nearly identical HRV patterns, and the "seventh sense" babies have that makes them more tuned in to your nervous system than you realize.
This isn't about blame or mom guilt—it's about understanding that trying to heal your child's nervous system while yours is stuck in fight-or-flight is like pushing a car uphill with the brakes on. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your child's health is get yourself adjusted first.
