Growing Healthy Families Podcast with Drs. Scott and Lena Haggerty

Welcome to a special Thanksgiving episode where we dive into the transformative power of gratitude on brain health. As we gather to give thanks, let’s explore how this simple yet profound practice can enhance our mental well-being.

Gratitude isn't just a feel-good emotion; it's a brain booster. Studies reveal that expressing gratitude increases the levels of dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin, key neurotransmitters linked to happiness. More intriguingly, gratitude practices are shown to increase gray matter volume in the right inferior temporal gyrus of the brain, enhancing emotional regulation. This neuroplastic change suggests that gratitude isn't just a temporary mood lifter but a brain reshaper. Read more

Moving beyond the brain's structure to its function, gratitude plays a pivotal role in managing stress, anxiety, and depression. It fosters a positive shift in our emotional experiences, enhancing self-love and empathy. This emotional recalibration is rooted in the limbic system, the center of our emotions. Discover more

We look at a study involving 300 adults undergoing mental health counseling. Those who wrote gratitude letters reported better mental health after four and twelve weeks, surpassing those who didn’t engage in this practice. This highlights gratitude's role as a complementary tool to psychological counseling. Learn more

Gratitude writing, interestingly, helps shift our focus from negative to positive emotions. This shift is crucial for mental health improvement, more so than the mere expression of positive emotions. Furthermore, the act of writing, irrespective of sharing the letters, offers mental health benefits, suggesting that the process itself is therapeutic. Explore further

We share practical tips for incorporating gratitude into daily routines. These practices are especially valuable for families and individuals facing neurodevelopmental challenges, enhancing emotional resilience and family dynamics.

We wrap up by emphasizing the lasting impact of gratitude on brain health and overall well-being. As we celebrate Thanksgiving, let’s remember and harness the power of gratitude.

Welcome to the Growing Healthy Families Podcast with Drs. Scott and Lena Haggerty. This podcast is all about helping moms recover from delivery, whether natural or c-section. In this episode, we dive more into the emotions that moms go through, and give specific recommendations about how long recovery takes, nutrition, sleep, and how chiropractic care can help moms recover faster and more completely.

Bullet point action steps for moms:

  • Be patient with yourself. Recovery takes time.
  • Listen to your body and rest when you need to.
  • Don't be afraid to ask for help from your partner, family, and friends.
  • Take care of your mental health. Talk to your doctor or a therapist if you're struggling to cope with your emotions.
  • Eat a healthy diet. Be sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. You should also include lean protein and healthy fats in your diet. If you're breastfeeding, you'll need to eat an extra 500-600 calories per day to produce enough milk.
  • Get enough sleep. Take naps when your baby naps. Go to bed early and wake up late on weekends. Ask your partner or family members for help with childcare so that you can get some rest.
  • Consider chiropractic care. Chiropractic care can help to reduce pain and inflammation, improve sleep, boost energy levels, reduce stress, and improve mood. If you're considering chiropractic care, be sure to find a chiropractor who specializes in working with pregnant and postpartum women.

POOP 💩 THERE IT IS!

If Drs. Scott and Lena were to ever remake the 1990s smash hit we all know and love, “Whoop There It Is!”… we’d simply swap out the “whoop” for poop 💩! 😂

That’s because day in and day out in our office ,we are able to help kids find relief from constipation naturally… without the use of heavy, side effect-ridden medications 💊 like Miralax.

Every day we meet families who’ve tried everything to help their little one (or even grade school age or teenagers) find relief from chronic constipation. 🤢 They’ve tried every probiotic and magnesium brand out there, loaded up on prunes, gone gluten-free and dairy-free… you name it.

But for the vast majority of those families, even after all that, their child still struggles 🙁 because the nutritional interventions and supplements often can’t quite get all the way down to the true root cause of constipation.

In the vast majority of our cases, instead of just removing gluten and dairy, we work to figure out why that child’s gut can’t digest those foods (and others) more regularly and easily.

Almost every time we find that a child struggling with constipation and gluten intolerance first has a deep level of stress and dysfunction within their central nervous system 🧠 — not just the gut itself.

The central + autonomic nervous system controls everything in the gut – motility, absorption, and elimination. So if your child’s nervous system is overstressed and wound up, their gut will be as well.

If you’ve tried it all for your child’s constipation but still haven’t experienced full and complete results, this podcast from Drs. Scott and Lena 🎥 is for you! When you learn more about the role the nervous system plays in digestive function, we’re confident you’ll find that true root cause and natural solutions you’ve been searching for!

You can also learn more about how to care for constipation 💩 naturally with this in-depth article 👉 https://pxdocs.com/article/chronic-constipation/

As parents we love to focus on milestones! Especially the big ones, like rolling over for the first time or taking a first step. But what if our child’s development is going slow, isn’t coordinated, or they are struggling to master movements?

Just like building a house, the nervous system 🧠 has to start with foundational movements right after birth. Here are 3 steps in the motor sequence to help keep your baby on track:

1️⃣ Don’t focus on movement or strength. In fact between birth and 3-4 months, babies shouldn’t be strong in their legs or rolling over. These first months are to focus on eating, sleeping, pooping and growing.

2️⃣ Once motor development begins, it really starts with head and neck control, as well as tummy time. Making sure your baby has full range of motion with their head + neck and is comfortable with longer periods of tummy time is essential to motor development.

3️⃣ Focus on having your baby crawl quite a bit and really avoid putting them in “containers” or things that help assist walking. If they start walking too early, it can lead to gross motor problems and even behavior or sensory struggles down the road.

🏃The Biggest Step- If an infant or toddler is delayed in crawling or walking, they’ll often get diagnosed with “low tone” or “core weakness” by a pediatric therapist. While this is accurate and most do have weaknesses in core muscles and limbs, it’s important to get to the root cause and find out WHY that is the case.

For so many families, Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic is the missing link they’ve been looking for to get their child’s development fully back on track!

Just like “building a house,🏡” the nervous system works in stages… starting with the foundation right after birth. The most important being eating, sleeping and pooping with ease. This may sound simple, but here’s why they make all the difference:

EAT 🍴

Having head/neck control supports the “rooting reflex” and activates the muscles in the neck to allow the baby to be in a comfortable position to nurse or take a bottle. 🍼 The mouth, lips and tongue then work together to get their bellies full and bodies calm.

SLEEP 💤

A calm and relaxed tone supports a baby’s ability to easily calm down and sleep. If a newborn is stiff, arching, and feels tight, this can be a sign they are “skipping a foundational step” (most commonly due to a stressful delivery).

POOP 💩

Doing so with ease is a sign baby is relaxed and the autonomic nervous system is working together and on autopilot. Giving us confidence the body can adapt to MORE later on!

What do all these actions have in common?...

They are controlled by the nervous system which controls all development after this. If this foundation isn’t set then healing has to go back and master eating, sleeping and pooping no matter what the age!

Be open to their thoughts, advice, and perspectives. They see things that you don't see and will have perspectives that will help you to work through what has happened

This is a judgement free place....but expect the counselor to help you to see the situation in ways to help you to own your role in the situations so that you can act differently in the future (don't repeat the same painful or harmful behaviors)

Healing is a process and not an event

It can take months to years to unpack all the layers that have built up over your lifetime

Forgiveness is the ultimate healing

In time, you will need to forgive yourself and/or those that hurt you so that the past pain will no longer have power over you.

This doesn't mean that we forget what happened, but we choose to take away it's power over us through the healing power of forgiveness. Sometimes this means we can forgive the person, and other times if we can not forgive the person, it simply means that we acknowledge and process the pain and release the power it has over our lives

Do you ever feel like your family never has any downtime?

Are you going from one activity to another for your children every single day?

Do you worry about family burnout?

Is your favorite time of the week the lucky day when there is no practice, tournament, match, recital so that you can get 5 minutes to breathe?

If you have said yes to one or more you are not alone!

Questions to ask yourself?

  1. are these activities and the pace negatively effecting our relationships?
  2. Am I or my children constantly tired or fatigued?
  3. Are we as a family becoming sick more often than in the past?
  4. What is that last time we were able to sit and enjoy a relaxing day (or night) at home together playing games or watching movies?
  5. Does it feel like you are all on edge with each other?

How to evaluate the situation:

  1. Do we really love all the activities that we are in?
  2. Are we doing this just to stay busy or because it is fun, fulfilling or challenging?
  3. What is the benefit?
  4. Does this activity need to be done now, in this way? Can we do this at a time of year when we are less committed?
  5. Is it worth the stress it creates?
  6. are we fighting to go to events / activities?
  7. Does this activity create stress each time you think of it?
  8. How can we carve out dedicated family time each week (family dinner, game nights, weekend get aways)
  9. set aside a time for family activities each week
  10. When we are together are we actually communicating or are we all staring at devices?
  11. device free nights
  12. put them away while we are doing an activity together
  13. How are we communicating? (asking non-threatening questions or leading with accusations)

Action steps:

  1. Once you have evaluated the situation, begin trimming off things that do not bring joy and value to your household. Yes there are things that need to be done that are not always fun and enjoyable, but if the stress toll is greater than the benefits look to remove it or set is aside to another time when life allows.
  2. Prioritize routines of family time...even simple things make a difference.
  3. read a book together each night
  4. set aside time to watch a show the family enjoys
  5. make time to play games together
  6. Make sure there is scheduled down time - kids being kids
  7. Life can be hectic and we can easily be overcommitted. Carve out time on a regular basis that is planned recharge and bonding time that isn't filled with obligations and errands....just time to be.

One of the most common things parents deal with for their kids' health

Did you know that most ear infections are viral, not bacterial?

Why do so many kids have ear pain? Science and Myths

What can you do?

  1. Adjusting: Restores neurological function that allows for natural drainage to occur
  2. Nutrition - poor nutrition leads to a weakened immune system, processed foods and sugar allow for viruses and bacteria to grow
  3. Vitamins - refer to previous immune boosting episode
  4. Sweet oil and/or Garlic oil - can mix them together; sweet oil is a refined form of olive oil loaded with antioxidants and garlic oil is a natural anti-inflammatory with anti-viral and anti-bacterial components
  5. Laser - class IV to help with pain and drainage. Laser therapy accelerates healing, improves lymphatic drainage and gives rapid pain relief.
  6. Lymphatic massage/drainage: Moves inflammation from the lymph nodes around the ear so that the body can effectively remove by products of the infection and inflammation out of the area.

Supplements to support immune function

  1. Multivitamin: need good quality and bioavailable, either pharmaceutical grade or whole food based
  2. Quercetin: reduces incidence and severity of respiratory infections, anti-oxidant effects, is a flavonoid
  3. Bromelain: proteolytic enzyme, from Pineapple, thin mucous, breaks down byproducts of inflammation
  4. magnesium: research article states: Magnesium is essential for the immune system, including in the fight against cancer

*January 19, 2022

Source:

University of Basel

Summary:

The level of magnesium in the blood is an important factor in the immune system's ability to tackle pathogens and cancer cells. Researchers have reported that T cells need a sufficient quantity of magnesium in order to operate efficiently. Their findings may have important implications for cancer patients

  1. Omega 3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids play a massive role in the immune system. They strengthen the cell walls, help macrophages engulf pathogens and aid in eliciting a strong immune response, in the presence of a virus, pathogen or bacterial invasion.
  2. Zinc: assists the immune system in many ways. Zinc deficiency has been linked to many different immune issues through the world. Harvard.edu states:
  3. Zinc is a trace mineral, meaning that the body only needs small amounts, and yet it is necessary for almost 100 enzymes to carry out vital chemical reactions

It is a major player in the creation of DNA, growth of cells, building proteins, healing damaged tissue, and supporting a healthy immune system.

[1] Because it helps cells to grow and multiply, adequate zinc is required during times of rapid growth, such as childhood, adolescence, and pregnancy.

Zinc is also involved with the senses of taste and smell.

  1. Vitamin D3: Modulates innate and adaptive immune system, enhances anti-microbial effects of certain cells. It's really important for immune function. It helps to modulate the immune system in fighting off viruses and bacteria by activating the immune cells. Areas with low sun exposure leads to a high level of deficiency. There is a vitamin D research council that describes in more detail the effects of vitamin D and recommended dosage. We take the upper limit is 10,000 IU per day. Infants typically start at 500 IU and then it scales with age. Our kids are 9 and 11 and take 2,000 IU per day.
  2. Probiotics: 80% of the immune system comes from the gut. Inhibits growth of pathogens, reduces the risk of GI and respiratory infections. They are symbiotic bacteria (good) that work with us vs. pathogenic bacteria (bad) that work against us. When taking any type of antibiotic it's important to increase your dosage since antibiotics kill all bacteria, good and bad.
