🎃 Keep Your Kids Healthy & Happy This Halloween! 👻

While they’re counting down the days to candy and costumes, here are 5 quick, spine-friendly tips to keep their bodies and brains in balance:

1️⃣ Skip the Red Dyes: Red 40 and Yellow 5 can affect mood and behavior. Choose chocolate or naturally colored treats instead. 🍫
2️⃣ Move Before the Candy: A quick dance party or walk helps burn energy and boost focus. 💃
3️⃣ Wear Supportive Shoes: Save little feet (and backs!) from costume shoes—go for comfy sneakers. 👟
4️⃣ Hydrate First: Water helps prevent sugar crashes and muscle tension. 💧
5️⃣ Stick to Bedtime: Sleep keeps immunity strong and stress low. 🌙
💀 Bonus: After the Halloween fun, a gentle chiropractic check can help reset little spines and calm the nervous system.

Taking time for your health — your spine, your body, your peace — is the real treat. 🍂💆‍♀️
Halloween isn’t just for candy — it’s a reminder that balance matters.
Make this week the one where you put you first.

🎥 TIP TUESDAY with Dr. Bethany Brausen of & Dr. Madeline

Just because something is common doesn’t mean it’s normal. Whether you’re a postpartum mom, a youth athlete, or just noticing new discomfort in your movement or training — pain, heaviness, or leaking are signs your body is asking for help.

👉 Tune into your body. Don’t brush it off. There’s support, there’s recovery, and we’re here to help.

✨ Tip Tuesday: Movement Matters for Babies ✨

As a craniosacral specialist, one of the most important things I focus on is supporting movement — because when babies are free to wiggle, roll, reach, and explore, their bodies are doing so much more than just getting stronger. 💪

Movement helps release fascia tension, promotes neural integration, and allows subtle tightness — especially in the head, neck, jaw, and face — to unwind naturally. This matters because when facial or oral tightness stays restricted, it can affect feeding, latching, comfort, and even rest.

💡 Research supports this connection:
• Studies show that motor development and oral motor function are closely linked — babies with better body movement often have better feeding performance.¹
• Spontaneous facial movements evolve with time and practice, helping facial muscles develop balance and coordination.²
• Self-generated movement supports healthy neural wiring and structural development — movement truly drives growth.³

So, give your little one time and space to move — floor time, gentle rolling, reaching, exploring — and observe how their body unfolds with ease and comfort.

Movement isn’t optional — it’s foundational. 🌿

If you’ve noticed tension, feeding challenges, or restricted motion in your baby, I’d love to help. Reach out with questions or schedule an appointment so we can support your baby’s natural ability to release and thrive. 💛

When a dog toy becomes a life lesson.🐾
This morning, I was walking dishes to the kitchen when one of my dog’s toys came flying across the room — narrowly missing my head. My reflexes kicked in instantly, dishes still intact, heart racing.

And that’s when it hit me — so many of us, especially moms, live in that exact state all the time.
Our nervous systems are wired to react — to dodge, fix, anticipate. We live in a constant hum of fight-or-flight, even when there’s no real danger.

Over time, that constant cortisol spike takes a toll — on our adrenals, our energy, our mood, our sleep, and our ability to recognize what’s truly stressful versus what just feels that way.

✨ Tip Tuesday:
Start practicing tiny moments that shift your body from react to rest.
    •    Take a few slow breaths (in for 4, out for 6).
    •    Remind yourself: “I’m safe right now.”
    •    Try restorative tools like acupuncture, mindful breathing, or gentle movement to help regulate your nervous system and protect your adrenals.

We can’t control every flying toy life throws at us — but we can teach our bodies how to come back to calm. 💛
