January is the perfect time for your family's first adjustment. Here's why. 💚

The holidays are over. The chaos has settled (mostly). Your family is trying to get back into routines.

And right now before the year picks up speed again is the ideal time to set the foundation for your family's health in 2026.

Here's what your family's nervous systems just went through:
Holiday stress aftermath.
Late nights.
Sugar overload.
Travel.
Schedule disruptions.
Overstimulation.
Family dynamics.
Less sleep.
More screen time.
Different food.
Changed routines.

For adults, this shows up as exhaustion, brain fog, digestive issues, tension headaches, and feeling completely depleted.

For kids, this shows up as meltdowns, sleep regression, behavioral challenges, getting sick constantly, and difficulty transitioning back to school.

None of this is "just the holidays." It's nervous system dysregulation.

And January is when we get to reset.

Why your family needs adjustments right now:
✨ Release holiday tension - Physically stored stress in the spine and nervous system needs to be addressed so your body can shift out of survival mode

✨ Get kids regulated - After weeks of disrupted schedules, their nervous systems need support to handle school routines, focus, emotional regulation, and sleep again

✨ Set the foundation - Starting the year with regulated nervous systems means your family has capacity for whatever 2025 brings - instead of starting already depleted

✨ Family wellness goals - If you're setting health goals for your family this year, start with the foundation: nervous system support for everyone.

This isn't just "getting adjusted because it's a new year." This is strategically supporting your family's nervous systems at a critical transition point - so you can all thrive instead of just survive 2026.

We help whole families - from newborns to grandparents - find regulation, ease, and sustainable health through nervous system-focused chiropractic care.

Let's make 2026 your family's healthiest year yet - starting with the nervous system.

Your resolutions aren't failing because of willpower. It's your nervous system. 🎯

We've been sold a lie: that if you just try harder, have more discipline, and push through - you'll finally hit your health goals.

When your nervous system is dysregulated, you have:
Poor impulse control → You know you shouldn't eat the entire bag of chips, but your dysregulated nervous system is seeking quick dopamine hits to cope with chronic stress.

Low motivation → It's not laziness. When your body is stuck in survival mode, it doesn't have energy to spare for "extra" activities like the gym. It's conserving energy to deal with the perceived threat.

Decision fatigue → Every choice feels impossible because your brain is already working overtime just trying to regulate your stress response. By 3pm, willpower is gone.

Inability to stick to routines → Your dysregulated nervous system craves unpredictability and chaos because that's what it's adapted to. Consistency feels boring or uncomfortable.
This is science, not a character flaw.

When your nervous system is regulated:

Impulse control improves (your prefrontal cortex can actually function)

Motivation returns (your body has energy to invest in growth, not just survival)

Decision-making gets easier (your brain isn't in constant threat-detection mode)

Healthy habits feel natural instead of forced

It's time to stop living a dysregulated life in a dysregulated world.

Want better sleep in 2026? Start with your nervous system. 😴

If you're lying awake at 2 am with a racing mind, struggling to fall asleep, or waking up exhausted no matter how many hours you get - that's not a sleep problem. That's a nervous system problem.

Your ability to sleep isn't about how dark your room is or what supplements you take (though those can help). It's about whether your nervous system can shift from sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) mode.

When your nervous system is stuck in survival mode - which happens with chronic stress, spinal misalignments, and accumulated tension - your body literally can't access the deep, restorative sleep it needs.

Here's what actually happens: Your brain keeps scanning for threats.
Your muscles stay tense.
Your stress hormones remain elevated.
Your heart rate stays high.
And no amount of melatonin can override a dysregulated nervous system.

Chiropractic adjustments remove interference in your spine that's keeping your nervous system in high alert.

When those pathways are clear, your body can finally do what it's designed to do: shift into rest mode when it's time to sleep.

We see it constantly in practice - people who've struggled with sleep for years finally sleeping through the night after consistent adjustments. Not because we "fixed their sleep." Because we supported their nervous system so their body could regulate naturally.

Pair that with good sleep hygiene (cool room, dark space, consistent schedule, no screens before bed) and you have real rest - not just unconsciousness.

You can't avoid stress in 2026. But you CAN build resilience. 💪

Let's be real - no amount of meditation, boundary-setting, or "self-care Sundays" is going to eliminate stress from your life. Work deadlines, parenting challenges, financial pressure, relationship dynamics - they're not going anywhere.

So the question isn't "how do I avoid stress?" The question is "how do I build a nervous system that can handle it?"

Because resilience isn't a mindset. It's a nervous system function.

When your nervous system is regulated, stress looks different. The same situation that would've sent you spiraling last year feels manageable. You bounce back faster. You don't carry tension for days. Your body knows how to return to baseline after a stressful event.

That's resilience. And it's trainable.

Chiropractic care builds stress tolerance by removing interference in your nervous system, improving your vagal tone (your body's ability to calm down), and literally increasing your capacity to handle life's inevitable challenges.

Think of it like building muscle - except you're building nervous system resilience. The more consistently you support it, the stronger it gets.
You can't control what 2026 throws at you. But you can control how equipped your nervous system is to handle it.

Let's build your resilience this year. Link in bio to get started. 🔥

Hot take: You don't need a new you. You need to just optimize your current health status. 🔥

Everyone's screaming "NEW YEAR NEW YOU" like you're broken and need fixing.

You're not broken.

Your nervous system is just stuck in overdrive from years of stress, trauma, poor sleep, inflammatory food, and chronic sympathetic dominance.

So here's your permission slip for 2026:
You don't have to become someone else.
You don't have to overhaul your entire life on January 1st.
You don't have to punish your body into doing things you don't want to mentally.

You just need to support your nervous system so it can do what it's designed to do.

When your nervous system is regulated:
✨ Sleep improves naturally
✨ Energy returns without forcing it
✨ Stress feels manageable
✨ Your body can actually heal
✨ Goals become achievable instead of exhausting

Stop the self-improvement hamster wheel.
Start regulating your nervous system.
New year, healthier YOU - not a different you.

Not all health goals are created equal. Some your nervous system will support - others will sabotage. 🌿

Here's the truth about 2026 goal-setting: you can set any goal you want, but if your nervous system can't support it, you're setting yourself up for frustration.

The goals that actually work? The ones that support nervous system regulation.

5 Health Goals Your Nervous System Will Actually Support:
1. Better Sleep
When you prioritize sleep, your nervous system gets the rest and repair time it desperately needs. Quality sleep = better stress resilience, clearer thinking, improved mood, sustainable energy.

2. Consistent Movement
Not punishing workouts - movement that feels good. Walking, stretching, dancing, playing with your kids. Movement helps discharge stress and regulate your nervous system naturally.

3. Stress Management
This isn't "avoid all stress" (impossible). It's building tools to manage and recover from stress - breathwork, boundaries, nervous system resets, asking for help.

4. Nourishing Food
Not restrictive diets. Real food that supports your body's ability to regulate inflammation, blood sugar, and energy. Food as fuel, not punishment or reward.

5. Regular Chiropractic Care
Consistent nervous system support that removes interference, improves communication between brain and body, and gives you the foundation to actually achieve goals 1-4.

Notice what's NOT on this list? Extreme diets. Intense workout programs you'll hate. Expensive biohacks.
Unsustainable routines.

Because sustainable health isn't about doing MORE. It's about supporting your nervous system so your body can function the way it's designed to.

Your body keeps score whether you're aware of it or not.

Every stressor, unprocessed emotion, or trauma your body has experienced gets stored in your nervous system. And those experiences aren't released, your body adapts by staying in survival mode, stuck in fight/flight, unable to shift into rest/digest state where true healing happens.

Chronic stress doesn't just live in your mind—it lives in your nervous system.

When your nervous system is stuck in sympathetic overdrive, your body floods with stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Your muscles tighten to protect you and your body compensates. Chronic stress patterns start to take shape and suddenly, your body is physically holding onto stress, trauma, and tension that your mind might not even remember.

The result? Your immune system weakens, leaving you vulnerable to illness, inflammation builds, digestion shuts down, sleep becomes impossible and your body forgets what safety even feels like—even when there's no actual danger present.

Suppressed emotions don't just disappear—they get stored as tension patterns in your body.

Your nervous system is designed to process stress and return to baseline. But when stress becomes chronic or trauma goes unhealed, your body gets STUCK. Deep-rooted nervous system dysregulation sets in, and suddenly "safety" feels foreign—even when you're not in danger.

Chiropractic care goes far beyond physical pain—it works on healing from the inside out.

Here we don't just adjust your spine—we remove interference from your nervous system so your body can finally RELEASE what it's been holding onto. When we address subluxations through gentle, specific adjustments, we're not just relieving back pain or neck tension, we're giving your nervous system permission to let go of those stored stress patterns and shift out of survival mode.

We're restoring the communication pathway between your brain and body so that healing can happen naturally—the way it was always designed to.

True healing isn't about adding something to your body from the outside.
It's about removing the interference so your body's innate intelligence can do what it does best: adapt, regulate, and HEAL.

If my child had an ear infection, here's exactly what I'd do first:
👂 Step 1: Get them adjusted
We check the upper neck and ears for any tension that could be blocking circulation and drainage. Misalignments here can literally prevent the ear from draining properly—which means the fluid just sits there creating the perfect breeding ground for infection.
👂 Step 2: Garlic mullein oil in and around the ear
Natural, gentle, and so effective.
👂 Step 3: Red light therapy
Supports the body's natural healing process and lowers inflammation.
👂 Step 4: Warm compress
Helps with drainage and comfort.
👂 Step 5: Follow-up adjustment the next day
We want to make sure everything is draining well and the body is responding.

Ear infections are often a drainage issue, not just an infection issue. When the upper cervical spine (neck) is misaligned, it can impact the lymphatic drainage from the ears—which means fluid gets stuck and creates the perfect environment for infection.

Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper nerve function and drainage so the body can actually clear the infection naturally.
Combined with gentle, natural support at home, this protocol has been a game-changer for many of our office families!
