EP. 18: Are We Just Labeling Kids Instead of Helping Them?
Manage episode 512559726 series 3671278
Welcome to Motherhood Aligned and Assigned with Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz. In this episode, we tackle the diagnosis epidemic affecting today's children. With nearly 50% of kids living with at least one chronic condition and antipsychotic use up 200%, something is deeply broken in how we approach children's health. We discuss how diagnoses can become limiting identities rather than pathways to healing, and explore the "Perfect Storm" that creates nervous system dysregulation from pregnancy through adulthood. Discover why MTHFR gene mutations, ADHD, autism, and other labels all point back to one root cause—the nervous system. Learn how chiropractic care addresses the foundation of health through repetitive, specific adjustments that support epigenetic expression and break generational cycles of dysfunction.
