Your Baby's Brilliant Brain

When we think of vision issues, we often only consider glasses or contact lenses to address them. But what if there was a way to catch potential issues as early as infancy? And if there are issues, do they really only stop at the eyes or is there a disconnect with the brain?
We are honored to have Dr. Derek Tong come speak on the podcast to discuss preventative eye check ups, how he restores the connection between the eyes and the brain, how the brain develops in relation to vision, what activities children do that can cause vision issues, and how he uses vision therapy to help children with autism!

We can experience a lot of challenges with our reproductive systems involving menstruation, hormones, fertility, pregnancy, and post natal bodies.

One of these healing modalities is the Maya Abdominal Massage Technique developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo. We are lucky enough to have Dr. Rosita HERSELF come on the show to explain what this amazing technique is, how it can help with some of these health challenges, and how you can find a practitioner today!

The Last Hope: Pediatric Chiropractor, Dr. Lora Tanis, Talks About Dire Newborn Cases Aided With Her Care
Your Baby's Brilliant Brain
09/17/20 • 67 min
"You're my last hope", "We've been to so many doctors/specialists and had no answers", " They told me that they would grow out of it", "They told me that there's nothing they can do".
We hear these phrases so many times when parents have come to our pediatric chiropractic practices with their babies. These parents tried chiropractic care based on one last hope and often come out of the experience and called it a "miracle". For chiropractors these changes merely come from how we look at and analyze the nervous system and connection to the body through the spine.
We are fortunate this episode to have Dr. Lora Tanis, a pediatric chiropractor, on to talk about some extraordinary cases she has worked with involving newborns to give new parents another route to explore if there is a health issue with their baby.
We want to present this episode with a message of hope and support to all those parents who thought they had no other options!

The Quality of Water and Your Baby's Development - A Conversation with Vance of The Water Guys, INC
Your Baby's Brilliant Brain
09/15/20 • 67 min
Everyone knows their water is safe to drink as long as there is no dirt, bacteria, or bugs in it. While this is true, is the process of removing these products causing health issues in themselves? We bring on Vance of The Water Guys, INC to talk about why fluorine, chlorine and ammonia should be filtered out of your water, effects of these additives on the human body, other harmful substances now found in our water, why specialized filtration systems should be in every home, and how people can access this purified water.
We focus so much on the quality of food for our babies' development, it begs the question why water quality is not given the same attention in these early years of life!
Listen in to learn about how you can make sure you have the best water possible to aid in your baby's development and the overall health of your family!
