Episode Synopsis

Welcome to Motherhood Aligned and Assigned with Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz. In this episode, we tackle the diagnosis epidemic affecting today's children. With nearly 50% of kids living with at least one chronic condition and antipsychotic use up 200%, something is deeply broken in how we approach children's health. We discuss how diagnoses can become limiting identities rather than pathways to healing, and explore the "Perfect Storm" that creates nervous system dysregulation from pregnancy through adulthood. Discover why MTHFR gene mutations, ADHD, autism, and other labels all point back to one root cause—the nervous system. Learn how chiropractic care addresses the foundation of health through repetitive, specific adjustments that support epigenetic expression and break generational cycles of dysfunction. 00:00 Introduction: Something is Deeply Broken01:00 The Diagnosis Epidemic and Shocking Statistics02:00 Why Labeling Without Direction Fails Families03:00 When Diagnoses Become Identities04:00 Understanding ADHD, SPD, and Spectrum Conditions05:00 MTHFR, Epigenetics, and Gene Expression07:00 Misunderstood Diagnoses08:00 The One Thing All Diagnoses Have in Common09:00 The Perfect Storm: From Pregnancy to Birth11:00 The Pattern: From Colic to Adult Dysfunction13:00 How Bodies Express Stress at Every Life Stage15:00 Why Traditional Chiropractic Approaches Fall Short17:00 Neurological Scans and Finding the Root Cause Resources Mentioned:The Silent Epidemic Article (PX Docs) Connect with Veronica:WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Serena:WebsiteInstagramFacebook
