I think it’s important for practitioners to be real with patients. While part of what I do is release trauma physically from the body, and architecturally try to balance the mechanics, which I believe it’s a big key to healing, I also recognize that it and of itself is not enough when addressing the nervous system. It’s step one.

You can be coming in for adjustments or doing brain retraining therapy exercises and getting five hours of sleep per night, under eating, over exercising and relying on caffeine.

It has to be a bit of change in this: a healthy nervous system is a whole human, it takes partnering with all components mechanically biochemically and emotionally.

We should all be helping and leading people to how to do this. Because the brain is the top. Everything trickles down from the nervous systems responses.

The eyes are a big component into looking into how your body moves, what tension patterns you have, and big time into reading, comprehending and focusing.

The reason is because your eyes are an extension of your brain. So if there are asymmetries, you can imagine that in other areas there will be tendencies to promote that assymmetry.

This is why specifically in children with learning difficulties or reading or paying attention, looking into their eyes from a functional standpoint not just a regular eye exam is really critical. Additionally, many people are not warned of the dangers of Lasik eye surgery, especially when one eye is different from the other, and how that can cause chronic disruption in the brain and movement patterns in the body.

Sometimes the body and brain are locked into specific patterns, and so rehab rehabilitation of the brain and balancing of the eyes is a key component into letting the body go. We recommend looking into neurologist ophthalmologist  and functional neurology chiropractors to help address these issues.

There’s a lot more education coming out about primitive reflexes and particularly for children.

And this should have its attention because it is a huge component for a thriving brain in a developing human. These are foundational reflexes that drive our brain function and if they aren’t integrated properly have some pretty important consequences.

Something I was never taught though was what if these reflexes that are supposed to turn off after the first year of life didn’t actually turn off, or turned back on at a certain point in a child or an adult due to distress or shock to their system?

The nervous system is so key to so many people’s healing. It should be the first place you start after dealing with immediate inflammation. If you’ve never had these reflexes check in your child or yourself especially if you have the symptoms listed, find someone near you who does. It could be a key to unlocking healing potential.

And as always most importantly, things with Jesus are easy. I’ve seen trauma be pulled off people in a moment due to his intervention. Partnering with him and what he’s already done for our victory is truly the biggest gift and im always in awe of his love.

Under stress, the sympathetic nervous system and catecholamines cause profound vasoconstriction in non essential peripheral tissue to prioritize the heart, brain and lungs.  Since fascia’s a massive, high vascularized peripheral network, it becomes non essential and since it relies on microcirculation helping layers to glide, withdrawing from it creates dehydration.  While short term isn’t harmful, long term in the case of chronic neurological stress to the body, chronic infections like Lyme disease or toxins which like to hide inside the connective tissue, the long term state leads to sticky, dense and tight tissue.  This can cause pain problems even after the threats and infections are gone.

Something I find consistently since I work with the fascia and dural systems everyday is when we start to untorque and rehydrate the tissue by working on it physically, giving energy support through light and nourishing it through nutrients, toxins and other infections begin to dump out, and new hydration can come in. This is why I think it’s so important when you’re dealing with anything chronic is to also focus on the health of the structural system and the fascia and really rehydrating it from a structural standpoint through movement and nutritionally through specific nutrients that are needed to help the facia heal.

When you do this, you have less random kind of migrating pains as well since the facia connects everywhere often times dehydrated, sticky, not moving fascia can cause a myriad of other types of symptoms that move around in the body.

Palatal expansion can be a huge support or further cause dysfunction.

When you look at the palate you want to look at the entire body underneath that pattern as well as look at why it is stuck in this specific pattern. If not you could expand asymmetrical AND it can revert back afterwards since all the fascia and neurological patterns weren’t addressed.

Every case is different, and I really believe requires a multi factorial approach working with other providers to get the best results for people. Working on the body and the cranial torsion patterns, working on the tongue and my functional patterns, working on breathing/fascia mechanics throughout the entire body, sometimes working on retained reflexes, working on supporting the pelvis and the feet.

A symmetrical body is typically better functioning body than an asymmetrical one.  so we aren’t just looking for width and measurements, we’re looking at overall function and symmetry in the body on both sides.

An imbalanced hypervigilant person is a prey for the enemy. I truly believe the war of our days in the physical sense is a war against keeping us balanced and at peace.

Histamine goes crazy in our world trying to stand against all the things we are up against. Toxins, bioweapons released on us, radiation, fast paced lives, our body architecture collapsing, not real food… it’s no surprise histamine is a part in just about every chronic disease these days.

But yet, the scriptures give us the key: Take heart I’ve already overcome the world.

if you are constantly chasing histamine, you are missing the picture. Yes, it needs to be addressed as part of the program, because it causes a ton of symptoms, but you need to get to the underlying roots and trust in a loving Father that sent his son Jesus so that you don’t have to figure it all out. ♥️

The battles already been won. 🗡️

From a biological standpoint, it can take a lot of cellular energy to repair.

We often rush this process, but cellular repair should always be a priority in the healing process. It’s a reason why at our clinic we want to focus first on helping to balance the brain and nervous system before rushing to anything else.

This doesn’t mean you also don’t need to deal with things that are causing inflammation, but your mitochondria and energy need fuel to not further deplete the tank.
