Did you know that many early challenges in the first 12-18 months of life can be early indicators of a speech delay?

🆘 Difficulty latching or nursing

🆘 Digestive struggles (reflux, constipation, eczema)

🆘 Colic + fussiness

🆘 Torticollis + flat spots (plagiocephaly)

🆘 Recurring ear + respiratory infections

🆘 Missed or delayed milestones

Each of these signs shows extra stress on your child’s nervous system. This stress can make it harder for their brain to work the right way—like how it processes, coordinates, and communicates. That can set the stage for speech or developmental delays later on. These signs are early warning flags that your child’s nervous system needs support.

The sooner these signs are noticed and cared for, the better your child’s speech, growth, and overall health can be. 💙 You can find details on what to do if your child is showing any of these signs at the link below. Here for you! 🫶

Before finding their local PX Docs, Leo’s family was facing some tough challenges. He struggled with major sensory issues that made every day unpredictable, and his speech was delayed, which only added to their concerns. He also struggled with eating, and there were days when it felt like he just wouldn’t eat anything at all. ❌

His mom shared, “We felt helpless. We were constantly worried about his eating and his speech delays. Our pediatrician kept telling us he’d grow out of it, but deep down we knew we couldn’t just brush it off.”

They tried speech and feeding therapy, but progress was slow. That’s when they found their PX Doc. At first, the results of Leo’s neurological scans were confusing—but the doctors took time to walk his parents through them. Suddenly, everything clicked. His struggles made sense, and for the first time, they felt like they were on the right track.

The real turning point came once care began. Leo’s sensory challenges started to ease, and he began trying to use more words. His meltdowns became less intense, and he seemed less tense and overwhelmed throughout the day. And while eating is still a work in progress, he’s now eating at least 1–2 meals a day—a huge step forward! 🙌

Today, Leo is thriving. He’s learning his ABCs, numbers, and animals, and most importantly, he’s a happy, active toddler.

Way to go, Leo—we are so proud of you! 💙

Xander's journey was filled with struggles—regulation, sensory challenges, sleep issues, and accidents—all affecting his daily life. 😔

For his mom, it was an exhausting and defeating battle. As a social worker and behavior coach turned school administrator, she had tried every strategy imaginable. Yet, nothing seemed to alleviate his struggles, leaving them feeling helpless and questioning their parenting abilities. But they knew in their gut there was something deeper going on.

Then came some long-sought-after HOPE: Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care. When they saw his neurological scans and the way his body was operating internally, it provided validation and an understanding of why he was behaving this way. 💡

As care began, the wins started with small moments, like a calm reaction to spilled water. Mom said, “The first 'ah ha' moment was when Xander spilled his water on himself. 3 months ago, he would have been kicking, screaming, crying that his clothes felt weird, taken his clothes off, and refused to go into the chiro, paired with hurtful statements, etc. Instead, he said, “Momma, I spilled my water, but I’m just a little wet, and it’s a small problem”. I cried, driving the rest of the way to our PX Doc’s office because my life did not turn into chaos over spilled water.” 🎉
Now with continued care, Mom says, "I see joy on my son’s face that I haven’t seen before. I believe much of it has come from physically feeling better, but also a sense of pride he’s never had before. Xander used to carry so much shame and embarrassment after he’d have big emotions. Now, Xander, for a 5-year-old, is managing his emotions just like any other 5-year-old. Xander is coming home from school and actually telling me what he’s learned and what he’s doing, when previously he would refuse to talk about school because he didn’t want to share when he got in “trouble”. Xander’s teacher has sent home positive notes more in the last 2 months than she has all year, and we celebrated two perfect weeks at school. We are so proud of his growth; he’s quicker to calm down, quicker to apologize, quicker to self-correct after a mistake." 💙

Xander– way to go, buddy!!

Penelope’s birth was anything but easy. 😩 After a traumatic delivery due to preeclampsia and complications with medication, she entered the world with a broken clavicle, abnormal breathing, and a positive Coombs test, which led to spending 6 days in the NICU.

Her mom wasn’t even able to hold her until 16 hours after birth. From the beginning, Penelope was tense, fussy, struggling with latching and sleep… and mom was doing everything she could just to keep up. 😭

They tried everything… formula changes, diet shifts, nonstop pumping, but nothing truly helped. The pediatrician kept saying it would work itself out, but mom knew better.

When they finally found their local PX Docs, she described it as a weight lifted off her shoulders. The neurological scans gave them answers they hadn’t received anywhere else. Penelope’s nervous system was stuck in stress mode from her traumatic birth. For the first time, they understood that her tension, feeding issues, and sleep struggles were all connected. With a clear care plan and real answers, they finally had a path forward. 🙌🏻

Within just two weeks, Penelope was sleeping better, feeding better, and finally relaxing. 🎉

Now, mom says she sleeps 11–12 hours a night, latches beautifully, and is a super happy baby. Mom’s milk supply came back, stress dropped, and both are finally thriving.

Sometimes healing starts with finally being heard— and finally getting answers that make sense. 💛

Does this sound familiar? You've eliminated gluten, dairy, and artificial colors. You're giving your child the best organic foods and high-quality supplements. You've invested thousands in therapies and interventions. Yet your child is still struggling with gut issues, motor delays, and getting sick constantly. 😫 What?! How?!

When your child's nervous system gets stuck in "fight-or-flight" mode, their body literally steals energy from other crucial systems to survive. And it happens in an order that we see all the time at Embracing Life Chiropractic. 🧠

✅ Round 1: Energy gets stolen from the gut, causing digestive chaos - colic, reflux, constipation, and food sensitivities that no amount of dietary changes seems to fix.

✅ Round 2: Next, the motor system suffers from delayed crawling, W-sitting, toe walking, poor coordination, and weak core strength that doesn't improve with traditional therapies.

✅ Round 3: Finally, the immune system crashes, leading to chronic ear infections, frequent illness, inflammation, and eventually autoimmune conditions.

YES we love organic and whole foods! YES we love adding in supplements! But without the nervous system being addressed first, this is why millions of kids today struggle with chronic gut problems despite having pristine diets and hundreds of dollars in supplements every month. The problem doesn't start with their nutrition; it starts with their neurology! 💡

Understanding this energy theft hierarchy finally explains why your child's body seems to be working against all the good things you're doing for them. When you address the root cause first, everything else starts working better! 🙌

With thousands of answers, advice, mom groups, and “words of wisdom” flying at us today, it’s common to wonder where to start when it comes to your child’s ADHD diagnosis. From DUTCH tests to allergy panels, to blood work, medications, and supplements... 💊 How do we really get to the answer we’re all wondering: “Why is my child struggling with ADHD and what caused this?” 🤷

At Embracing Life, Dr. Nicole first stops and listens to your child’s story. 📖 From preconception to pregnancy and birth stress, to infant struggles and toddler tantrums, 😫 every little detail counts. And most moms have a gut feeling that something didn’t seem quite right, which is why we first choose to listen to you, mama. ♥️

Next, Dr. Nicole, who is neurologically focused chooses to run three non-invasive scans, the most important one for ADHD being electromyography, or EMG for short.

📊 Having researched all of the latest and greatest medical tests for ADHD, Dr. Nicole has found this one to be the best! The reason is that it shows us exactly what is happening inside your child’s nervous system. These scans aren’t focused on a diagnosis, but more importantly, on what is causing the dysregulation and confusion within the nervous system 🧠 that has led to the diagnosis.

These scans can also help Dr. Nicole determine exactly what customized care plan your child needs when it comes to reorganizing their nervous system. It’s never one-size-fits-all, which is why, here at Embracing Life, we will never give your child a cookie-cutter 🍪 answer. Instead, we will determine exactly what your child needs in order to reorganize and regulate their nervous system so that their ADHD can be used as a tool to thrive, stand out, and conquer as future CEOs and inventors in this world! 😎

Good job, Mama!! 🥹 We know that ADHD + SPD are brain and nervous system-based disorders. While conventional medicine and your traditional pediatrician may still blame a genetic imbalance of neurotransmitters, that limited scientific theory is rather outdated and incomplete. 🫠

Children who are struggling with ADHD, SPD, and even anxiety are known to have an overactive or “stuck on” sympathetic fight or flight component of their nervous system. 🧠 We call this the “gas pedal,” and it simply means that deep within their central nervous system, they are constantly “revved up” and wound up even at rest. Two other common terms for this are nervous system dysregulation and dysautonomia.

We know your biggest hope is to find answers, especially before school starts and the problems get worse!! The first step is to get your child a Neurological INSiGHT Scan at our office! This will show our doctor exactly what is going on within your child's nervous system and will help Dr. Nicole design a customized care plan! ♥️

Got us all crying over here!! 😭😭😭 Do you want the science to mom and pregnancy brain too?!

MRI studies have shown real, lasting changes in brain structure within the grey matter that support emotional connection, bonding, and caregiving. These brain changes are designed for a reason... To put your baby first. Here's the kicker. These changes shouldn't be so drastic that you feel like you can't function or are forgetting literally everything! If you feel this way, then your nervous system was most likely already stressed before or during pregnancy, and these adaptations can feel more like burnout. 😫

At Embracing Life Chiropractic, Dr. Nicole uses advanced Neurological INSiGHT Scans to measure how your nervous system is truly functioning and create care plans that help calm and clear the fog, and give you the clarity (and energy!) you’ve been craving. 💛 This care helps support the changes your brain is going through! How cool is that?! To learn more, visit the link in our bio!
