Episode 424: Ten Steps to Disruptive Pediatrics Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

To disrupt is to be "innovative and groud-breaking." The path has been laid out for us by disruptive chiropractors like Dr. Larry Webster and Dr. Jeanne Ohm. They boldly led us to think not just outside the box, but to think as if there is no box at all! It is time for us to take their call to action and become disruptive pediatric chiropractors!

Episode 423: Are you connected to 'the sacred trust'? Sep 21, 2021

Show notes

What are you doing that is different? Are you connecting to what BJ Palmer called the "sacred trust?" This 'trust' is not determined by what your office looks like or your paperwork or your EHR. It is determined by you, answering this unspoken question from the parent who brought their kid in: will you take care of my kids like they are your own? Will they sense that from you and your staff?

Episode 422: The missing link Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

Pre-Covid, approximately 12% of kids ages 4-17 were labeled as either depressed or had anxiety. Now those numbers in kids ages 4-17 have doubled, to 20% with anxiety and 25% with depression!. What is the missing link? How many of those kids are getting adjusted regularly? In pediatric chiropractic offices, we see that kids who are adjusted over the long term are overall healthier and less susceptible to illnesses and disorders!

Episode 421: "4000 Weeks" Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

"4000 Weeks." That's 80 years, about what the average life expectancy in the US is, and also the title of a newly released book. How will you spend your 4000 weeks? The book explains how time management is a fallacy. There is no such thing as work-life balance. Do you look up at night in awe of the stars and the moon? Do you watch the sun rising or setting and see that beauty? To me it is not as much about time management as about time wonderment.

Episode 420: Is Colic a symptom of vestibular dysfunction? Aug 31, 2021

Show notes

Colic might be a symptom of vestibular dysfunction. Never thought about it that way, as suggested by chiropractor Dr Jan Hoeve from the Netherlands in his landmark paper in the high-impact journal, Frontiers in Pediatrics this past May: (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2021.668457/full). Have always thought that colic is due in part to dietary sensitivities, but have also said that colic/reflux is not ONLY a digestive issue...it is a brain issue. Now we have a groundbreaking theory that might explain what is really going on with colicky babies.

Episode 419: Noise Aug 24, 2021

Show notes

"Noise"...the noise in our profession confuses the public. Ask 10 chiropractors what chiropractic is, and you'll get 10 different answers. Chiropractors can all agree on 1 thing: we all want to help our practice members. Can't we teach this simple approach: that the brain and spine and nerve system all work together and if they are not in harmony, then that person will not be in alignment or balanced, no matter what the age, what the situation? Based on the new book, "Noise" by Dr Daniel Kaheman.

Episode 418: Looking into a newborn's eyes Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

There is nothing more magical than looking into a newborn's eyes. There is something so peaceful, so sweet, so strong in their gaze. They cannot speak words but they speak volumes with the depths of the eyes. This also occurs when you look in the eyes of a minimally-speaking child with Autism. Their eyes are windows into their brain. Make eye contact with newborns, kids with Autism, everybody. It's your way in.

Episode 417: Change the way the brain interprets experience Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

What is really happening when a child has colic or reflux? There is a mis-interpretation of the experience. The baby has taken in food but then it mis-interprets the meaning of that food! The problem isn't a lack of Pepcid or Prevacid. It is a confusion of the situation. Of course there might be a physical or physiological issue (sensitive/allergic to something in the breastmilk/formula), but the underlying question is: why? It all points to the brain!
