    Why Your Body Won't Heal in a High Cortisol State | EP. 69

    Dr. Serena shares the story of a patient who did years of root cause work in functional medicine and still felt stuck, until her nervous system was addressed and her body started doing things it had never done on its own. Dr. Veronica and Dr. Serena talk about why the nervous system is the foundation everything else is built on, and why that shift can be surprisingly hard for people already committed to natural health. In this episode, they cover: The healing hierarchy: nervous system first, then neuromotor, then gut, immune, and hormones, and where functional medicine fits inHow a patient started having regular, daily bowel movements for the first time in her life, and why that finally made it safe to start a detoxWhy functional medicine providers can be the hardest people to explain nervous system work toThe "it's just genetics" ceiling, MTHFR, and what epigenetics says about itDr. Serena's own story of coming off supplements after postpartum without her eczema returningWhy needing a certain routine, drink, or ritual every single day to feel calm is a sign your nervous system is stuckWhether people get "addicted" to chiropractic care, and how adjustment frequency changes as your body adaptsFlipping the top-down approach so you're doing groundwork instead of cleanup If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still need a handful of supplements just to feel okay, this episode is for you.

    POTS, Dysautonomia, and the Nervous System Fix No One's Talking About | EP. 68

    Dr. Veronica and Dr. Serena break down what's really happening in your body when you're stuck in a POTS or dysautonomia spiral: the racing heart, the dizziness, the fatigue that never lifts. They explain why the diagnosis rarely comes with a real solution, and what actually has to change for your nervous system to get unstuck. In this episode, they cover: The full list of symptoms that often get lumped under a POTS or dysautonomia diagnosisWhy sympathetic dominance is the root pattern behind so many "separate" symptomsWhat actually creates lasting change versus managing symptoms through diet and medication aloneA patient's story of reversing extreme fatigue tied to birth control, tracked through her HRVWhy chiropractic care can get you regulated faster than years of breathwork alone If you've ever felt like you're collecting diagnoses instead of getting answers, this episode is for you.

    Why Your Low Back Pain Isn't Actually About Your Back | EP. 67

    Dr. Veronica and Dr. Serena get into a conversation about why some chronic pain doesn't clear up as fast as everything else does. They walk through a patient whose low back pain was supposed to be gone in a week and instead took six months, why the TL junction keeps needing the same adjustment over and over, and a wild story into a patient whose eczema changes completely from one adjustment to the next. In this episode, they cover: Why chronic low back pain often takes longer to resolve than anxiety, sleep, or emotional regulation issuesWhat keeps happening at the TL junction — where the adrenals sit — when the same spot needs adjusting again and againA patient whose pain was supposed to be gone in a week and took six months instead, and what that revealedWhy posture and exercises aren't actually the fix 90% of the timeA patient whose eczema goes from head-to-toe to nearly gone between two adjustmentsWhy some symptoms are the body's way of getting your attention about something you're ignoringHow to recognize the "crossroad" moment in a healing journey If you've ever done everything right and a symptom still won't fully let go, this episode is for you.

    Can a Tic Really Be Your Nervous System Healing? | EP. 66

    Dr. Chantal joins Veronica and Serena for a rapid fire conversation about her own son and the motor tics that showed up out of nowhere last Thanksgiving. They walk through his HRV scans side by side, what the numbers actually meant, and how the tic pattern moved from his neck to his shoulders as his nervous system worked through stress in a completely different spot. Dr. Chantal shares what she adjusted, what she noticed on his second scan, and why treating your own child is somehow harder than treating anyone else's. In this episode, they cover: How a motor tic that started around Thanksgiving led to scanning her own sonWhat a heart rate variability scan actually measures and why 100% battery paired with 40% parasympathetic was confusing even to a chiropractorWhy the tic moved from his neck to his shoulders between scans, and what that shift meantHow mom intuition plus objective scan data work together to find what's really going onA patient's sour candy cravings traced back to a likely vitamin C deficiencyA patient whose astigmatism cleared up with no vision work involved at allWhy it's harder to treat your own kid than anyone else's If you've ever caught yourself watching your kid do something a little off and couldn't shake the feeling that something's going on, this episode is for you.

    Is Lowering Your Stomach Acid Making Your Reflux Worse? | EP. 65

    Your stomach burns after you eat and you blame the tomatoes, or the coffee, or whatever you had last. But what if the acid isn't actually the problem? In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz break down what's really happening with acid reflux, GERD, and nausea after eating, in babies, during pregnancy, and in everyday adult life. They explain why low stomach acid, not too much, is usually what's keeping your pyloric sphincter from closing properly, and why so-called trigger foods like tomatoes are often just magnifying a problem that was already there. They also connect the dots between chronic stress, cortisol, and digestion, and talk through why so many people need far more rest than expected once they start actually healing. If you've ever blamed a food for reflux that never really went away, this episode is for you.

    Why Your Kid Wets the Bed (And It's Not Because They're a Deep Sleeper) | EP. 64

    If your kid still has wet mornings and you've written it off as "he's just a deep sleeper," this one's for you. Dr. Veronica and Dr. Serena break down the real correlation they're both seeing in practice between bedwetting and emotional dysregulation, and why the fix is almost never about the bladder. In this episode, they cover: Why bedwetting and big emotions (meltdowns, hard transitions, anxiousness) tend to show up in the same kidsWhat their nervous system scans actually show at C1, C2 and the sacrum in these casesThe gas pedal vs. brake pedal explanation of how the nervous system decides what to prioritizeWhy "he's just a deep sleeper" doesn't hold up once you understand what ADH is supposed to be doingA real case comparison between two brothers, one who started care after years of bedwetting and one who never wet the bed at allHow long it typically takes to see change once a child starts care If you've ever quietly wondered whether there's more going on with your child's bedwetting than "kids grow out of it," this episode is for you.

    Why Your Cycle Changes When You Start Chiropractic Care | EP. 63

    Dr. Veronica and Dr. Serena talk through why so many of their patients see real shifts in their cycles once they start nervous system focused care, from teenagers to women moving into perimenopause. They break down the HPG axis, why a changing cycle isn't automatically good or bad, and what it means when your body finally feels safe enough to prioritize reproduction again. In this episode, they cover: Why cycle changes are one of the most common (and unexpected) shifts patients report in careThe difference between your body prioritizing safety versus prioritizing reproductionA patient story where regulating the nervous system led to canceling ablation surgeryWhy stress makes it harder for your body to prioritize having a babyWhat it could mean for the next generation of young girls starting care early Resources Mentioned: PX Docs Directory Connect with Veronica: WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Serena: WebsiteInstagramFacebook

    Why Getting Sick Isn't Always a Bad Sign | EP. 62

    Dr. Veronica and Dr. Serena tackle a question that comes up constantly in practice: if chiropractic care supports the nervous system, why do patients still get sick? They break down what a healthy immune response actually looks like, why healing timelines run in months and years instead of days, and why an adjustment isn't the same thing as a treatment. In this episode, they cover: What it actually means for the body to "express" an illness instead of suppress itWhy shorter, milder sickness is often a sign of progress, not a setbackHow seasonal stressors like wildfire smoke and back-to-school routines load the nervous systemWhy healing happens on a months-to-years timeline, not overnightThe difference between an adjustment and a medical treatment If you've ever felt discouraged when your kid got sick "again," this episode is for you.
