What are those top five things that parents should be doing to optimize their children's health? Got it. Nervous system repair and regulation, right? That's number one. The nervous system is the boss, right? So if you don't turn that back online, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are going to be helpful, but they're going to be limited in their help. Number two is movement-based therapies, PT, OT, and speech therapy. The body, the brain is designed to move. Number three, you have to take toxins out. You just got to switch to clean. Kids and chemicals don't mix. You don't want them inhaled, ingested, or injected. Adding the omega-3s. We got to get those omega-3s in there. We got to get the clean macronutrients in there and the protein. And then honestly number four, they'll have a lot of challenges with dental health. When you have a kiddo who has been under a sympathetic storm, they're mouth breathers, Yeah. and they've had antibiotics, and their body's been pro-inflamed. But if you have a non-stop infection happening in there, then that's going to be an issue. Yeah, that's a great point. Yeah, and five, a lot of these kiddos have secondary and tertiary infections. So what I've done with our work is I've built a clinical protocol that does a lot of number one and we've even created adjustments that are more reorganizational along with activating the parasympathetics, and then we hand it off to a team. And so we give personalized care for each kid and that may be, hey, number three for you is this provider over here so we're going to make that referral and collaborate. And each kid has a little bit of a different playbook that they go through, but it tends to follow those five paces.
