• Possible contributors to nutrient deficiencies and behavioural issues

In this episode, I'm chatting with Erin from Brain and Body Health, based in Gladesville, Sydney. Erin shares how looking beyond surface behaviours to understand what a child’s body is communicating can strengthen a child's brain and nervous system, with the goal of regulation rather than “fixing” a child. This is an interesting and reassuring conversation for parents who feel like their child is constantly stuck in fight or flight.

In this episode, we explore:

• How Erin became a chiropractor for kids
• Finding the root cause with the ‘5 whys’
• A child’s primitive reflexes
• What retained primitive reflexes may look like
• Why they can be retained rather than integrated
• How a session with Erin looks
• Testing to find retained primitive reflexes
