Upper cervical chiropractor Dr. Matthew Roe joins the show to explore how the Atlas and Axis at the top of the spine influence the nervous system, posture, and whole-body health. He and Kristi unpack the impact of modern stress, chronic sympathetic overload, and the rise of tech neck—especially what this means for kids and future generations. Listeners will learn how upper cervical misalignment can trigger widespread symptoms, why gentle adjustments can create powerful shifts, and what simple daily habits can support spinal alignment and long-term resilience.
