Your body keeps the score—whether you’re aware of it or not.

Every stressor, unprocessed emotion, and past trauma is stored in your nervous system.

When those experiences aren’t released, your body adapts by staying in survival mode—stuck in fight or flight instead of shifting into rest, repair, and healing.

Chronic stress doesn’t just live in your mind. It lives in your nervous system.

When your system stays in sympathetic overdrive, stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline flood the body.

Muscles tighten, compensation patterns form, and tension builds—often holding stress and trauma your mind may not even remember.

Over time, this can weaken immunity, disrupt digestion, impact sleep, increase inflammation, and make safety feel unfamiliar—even when there’s no real danger.

Suppressed emotions don’t disappear. They become tension patterns in the body.

Your nervous system is designed to process stress and return to balance. But when stress becomes chronic or trauma goes unhealed, the body gets stuck—and dysregulation becomes the norm.

Chiropractic care goes beyond pain relief—it supports healing from the inside out.

At GFC Wellness, Dr. Josh focuses on removing interference from the nervous system so your body can finally release what it’s been holding onto. Through gentle, specific adjustments, we help restore communication between the brain and body—allowing the nervous system to shift out of survival mode and back into regulation.

True healing isn’t about adding something from the outside.

It’s about removing interference so your body’s innate intelligence can do what it was designed to do: adapt, regulate, and heal.

Can we be honest for a second?

I know you want a quick fix.
I know you’re tired.
I know you’ve been struggling for so long that you’re hoping one adjustment will change everything.

And sometimes? It DOES feel that way. People walk out after their first visit feeling lighter, happier, like a weight has been lifted.
But here’s the truth:
You can’t quick fix nervous system regulation.

Think about it like this: You wouldn’t expect to run a marathon without training, right?
You’d need:
→ Time to build endurance
→ Consistency to strengthen your body
→ Patience through the hard runs
Your nervous system is the same. If your body has been storing chronic stress patterns for YEARS - if you’ve been living in fight-or-flight, functional freeze, or survival overdrive - it’s going to take MORE than one adjustment to fully break through.

Each adjustment is a training session. It’s helping your body reorganize. Adapt. Learn new patterns. Build resilience. Shift out of survival and into safety.

But just like marathon training, some sessions feel amazing and others feel hard. Some weeks you see huge progress. Other weeks feel slow.

And if you’re deeply dysregulated?
If your nervous system is so stuck in freeze that you can’t even FEEL shifts yet? It’s going to take longer. Not because you’re failing, but because your body needs more time to thaw, to reorganize, to remember what safety feels like.

This is not a quick fix. This is a commitment.
A commitment to showing up and trusting the process.
To giving your body the time, consistency, and patience it needs to truly heal.
You didn’t get here overnight, and you won’t heal overnight.
But EVERY adjustment is moving you forward. EVERY visit is training your nervous system to adapt and thrive.

Chiropractic is a lifestyle and it’s laying the foundation for how your nervous system adapts moving forward.

Many parents don’t realize that tongue tie isn’t just about the visible tissue under the tongue. It’s about the ENTIRE system—and this is where chiropractic becomes absolutely essential.

When a baby has a tongue tie, their whole body compensates. Tension builds in the jaw, neck, cranial bones, and fascia. The nervous system works overtime just to feed. And even after a release procedure, if those compensatory patterns aren’t addressed, feeding struggles can continue.

Here’s how chiropractic care supports babies with tongue ties:
🧠 Releases tension in cranial bones and facial structures—creating more space and mobility for the tongue to move freely

🔗 Addresses restricted fascia throughout the neck, jaw, and throat—because tongue tie restriction goes beyond just the frenulum

⚡ Improves nervous system communication to the muscles of the mouth and tongue—optimizing motor control for feeding, swallowing, and speech

💪 Relieves compensatory tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back—tension that develops when babies work extra hard to feed

✨ Supports optimal healing after tongue tie release—ensuring the nervous system is clear and connected, reducing scar tissue, and promoting proper tongue movement patterns

When the nervous system and fascial structures are restricted, even a “minor” tongue tie can cause MAJOR feeding issues.

This is why we always recommend chiropractic care BEFORE and AFTER a tongue tie release. It’s not just helpful—it’s essential for the best possible outcome. Your baby’s body needs support to release those deep tension patterns and relearn how to move and feed with ease.

If your little one is struggling with feeding, whether you’ve had a release or not, let’s assess their nervous system first.

Sometimes the missing piece isn’t another procedure—it’s getting their whole body clear and connected.

It’s NOT normal to feel achy all the time.

It’s NOT normal to always be getting sick.

It’s NOT normal to constantly feel drained of energy.

Somewhere along the way, we started accepting “tired,” “achy,” and “run down” as our baseline or just signs of “getting older”, but your body wasn’t designed to feel like this.

If these symptoms sound all too familiar—or you’re stuck in the same pain cycle on repeat—this is your gentle nudge to try something different.

Chiropractic care isn’t just about adjustments. It’s about restoring your nervous system’s ability to adapt, heal, and thrive. When your body can communicate properly, everything changes.

You deserve to feel good in your body.
Not just “fine.”
Not just “managing.”
Actually good.
Ready to break the cycle?

“Why is my kid acting like this?”

Mama, it’s not you. It’s not them.
It’s their nervous system screaming for help. 📢

Our kids are living in sensory OVERLOAD:
Screens.
Lights.
Noise.
Artificial food.
Poor sleep.
School pressure.
Less outdoor play.
A world that never stops.

Their little bodies weren’t designed for this pace. So what do they do?

Survival mode.

Did you know that a child’s nervous system is still forming at every stage of development?
Every stressor - every screen, every demand, every challenge - is literally wiring their brain.

When fight-or-flight becomes their baseline, their brain thinks it’s normal. But their body is stuck ON.

This looks like:
Hyperactivity
Poor focus
Sleep struggles
Big emotions
Stomach issues
Overwhelm
Random meltdowns
Tension
Getting sick constantly

Not because they’re bad kids, but because their nervous system is drowning with no reset button.

When their body is stuck in survival mode:
Their brain can’t process the world correctly, the vagus nerve shuts down, digestion stops, sleep becomes chaos, and emotional regulation disappears.

But here’s the hope:
Their nervous system CAN reorganize.
It CAN downregulate.
It CAN find balance again.

That’s exactly what chiropractic care does - removes the interference so their body can adapt, heal, and finally feel SAFE.

Your child isn’t broken.
They just need support to reset.
And we’re here to help. 🌿💚

If my child had an ear infection, here’s exactly what I’d do first:

👂 Step 1: Get them adjusted.
We check the upper neck and ears for any tension that could be blocking circulation and drainage. Misalignments here can literally prevent the ear from draining properly—which means the fluid just sits there creating the perfect breeding ground for infection.

👂 Step 2: Garlic mullein oil in and around the ear. Natural, gentle, and so effective.

👂 Step 3: Red light therapy.
Supports the body’s natural healing process and lowers inflammation.

👂 Step 4: Warm compress.
Helps with drainage and comfort.

👂 Step 5: Follow-up adjustment the next day.
We want to make sure everything is draining well and the body is responding.

Ear infections are often a drainage issue, not just an infection issue. When the upper cervical spine (neck) is misaligned, it can impact the lymphatic drainage from the ears—which means fluid gets stuck and creates the perfect environment for infection.

Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper nerve function and drainage so the body can actually clear the infection naturally.

Combined with gentle, natural support at home, this protocol has been a game-changer for many of our office families!

Your nervous system has been trying to reach you about the holiday season ☎️

Here’s what it wants you to know:
Right now, your nervous system is managing an incredible amount—coordinating your stress response to family dynamics, regulating your sleep despite the chaotic schedule, processing all that extra sugar, and helping your body adapt to travel, late nights, and emotional overwhelm.

Your nervous system can only manage all of this effectively when it’s functioning optimally. When there’s interference in your neuro-spinal system (what we call subluxations), it’s like trying to run a marathon with your shoelaces tied together. Your body is working so much harder than it needs to.

This is why you might notice during the holidays:
-Feeling more tired than usual, even with the same amount of sleep
-Getting sick more easily when “everything is going around”
-Digestive issues flaring up (hello, holiday meals)
-Shorter patience with people you love
-Physical tension—tight shoulders, headaches, jaw clenching
-Difficulty unwinding even when you finally have downtime

These aren’t just “normal holiday stress”—they’re signs your nervous system is in survival mode instead of thriving mode.

Chiropractic care during the holidays supports your body by:
✨ Reducing interference in your nervous system so it can communicate clearly with every cell, tissue, and organ
✨ Helping your body shift from “fight or flight” stress response to a more regulated state
✨ Supporting your immune system function (yes, your nervous system controls this!)
✨ Improving your body’s ability to adapt to physical, chemical, and emotional stressors
✨ Allowing you to actually REST when you rest, so your body can recover and recharge

The holidays don’t have to drain you. When your nervous system is clear and connected, you have the capacity to be present, energized, and truly enjoy this season with the people who matter most.

Your body is designed to handle stress—it just needs the right support to do it well 💚

The lights are twinkling, the to-do list is endless, and that familiar pressure is building behind your eyes... 🎄😣

If you’re someone who dreads the holidays because you KNOW a migraine is coming—triggered by the stress, the chaos, the sensory overload, the lack of sleep, the sugar crashes—you’re not alone. And you don’t have to just “push through” another season feeling miserable.

Your migraines aren’t just random. They’re your nervous system’s way of saying “I can’t adapt to this stress anymore.”

When your body is stuck in fight-or-flight mode (hello, holiday season), your nervous system becomes HYPER-sensitive. Every bright light, every loud conversation, every schedule change becomes a potential migraine trigger. Your body literally can’t regulate itself because it’s too overwhelmed to function optimally.

This is where chiropractic care becomes your secret weapon for actually ENJOYING the holidays.

Gentle, specific adjustments help your nervous system shift out of that constant stress response and into a state where it can adapt, regulate, and HEAL.

Here’s how chiropractic helps you manage holiday migraines:
1️⃣ Releases tension in the neck and upper cervical spine—where most migraine triggers originate and where stress loves to live
2️⃣ Regulates your nervous system’s stress response—so your body can handle the holiday chaos without breaking down into a migraine
3️⃣ Improves blood flow and reduces neurological inflammation—giving your brain the support it needs to function without pain.

Imagine this holiday season without the fear of “when will the next migraine hit?”

Imagine being PRESENT at family gatherings. Enjoying the lights and sounds instead of hiding from them. Actually having the energy to create memories instead of just surviving.

The holidays are meant to be enjoyed—not endured through pain. Let’s get you there.
