It’s like clockwork, isn’t it? September ends, October begins, and suddenly everyone in your house is sniffling, coughing, or fighting something.
You’ve probably blamed it on “back-to-school germs” or “weather changes” – but the real reason runs much deeper.
Here’s what’s really happening: Your family’s nervous system is being overwhelmed by the perfect storm of October stressors. New school routines, schedule changes, less sunlight, temperature fluctuations, sugar overload from Halloween prep, and increased indoor time create a cascade of stress on your nervous systems.
When your nervous system is stressed, your immune system suffers. Your body can’t properly regulate immune responses when it’s stuck in survival mode from chronic stress and spinal interference.
The cycle looks like this:
October stressors → Nervous system overwhelm → Weakened immune function → Family gets sick → More stress → Repeat next year
Here’s how to break it: Instead of just boosting immunity with supplements (though that can help), address the root cause by supporting your family’s nervous systems through gentle chiropractic care.
When your nervous system is clear and connected, your immune system can function at its peak – naturally!
Many parents tell us this is their first October in years without the usual round of family illnesses. Coincidence? We don’t think so! 💚
