The constant flow of fragmented and ever-changing information on social media leaves parents feeling overwhelmed and confused when navigating topics like autism and ADHD.

When it comes to children with developmental challenges, hope is essential — but so is honesty.

At Scire Integrative Health Center, Dr. Peter Scire believes in managing expectations from day one.

Parents deserve the truth:
Progress is possible.
Change takes time.
Healing is not linear.

Developmental disorders aren’t “quick fixes.” Whether we’re addressing retained primitive reflexes, attention challenges, sensory dysregulation, or neuroinflammation, brain-based protocols require consistency, repetition, and patience. The nervous system changes through targeted stimulation and repetition — not overnight miracles.

Dr. Scire keeps it real:
✔️ Some kids respond quickly.
✔️ Some improve in subtle ways first (sleep, mood, regulation).
✔️ Some need protocol adjustments along the way.

What you won’t get here? False promises.
What you will get? A clear plan, measurable goals, and one-on-one care directly with Dr. Scire every step of the way.

Real progress happens when families understand the process, commit to the work, and celebrate small wins along the way.

At Scire Integrative Health Center, we don’t sell hype.
We build brains — responsibly, patiently, and honestly.

Ever heard of off-label medication use, especially for kids? What you might not realize is it's often presented as evidence-based, even if the FDA hasn't approved it for that exact condition. It's more common than you think.

We're not just saying our data is good—we mean it's the best. Why? Because we use a sophisticated, multi-system approach to data analysis. See the difference real quality makes.

Two experts question if calling a treatment 'evidence-based' is sufficient. They argue strong rationale and demonstrable results matter more than a label. What do you think?

This is definitely happening to patients. At SIHC, I do an extensive functional neurology examination plus comprehensive Neuroimmunology lab work up. I’m currently working with several seniors that have seen an improvement in their cognitive function after being diagnosed with neurodegeneration.

Imagine you’re in your late 60s and are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

You start planning the rest of your life: telling your spouse you may eventually become incapacitated; looking into long-term memory care; checking off as many bucket list items as you can.

Six months later, another neurologist finds the opposite: You don’t have Alzheimer’s and aren’t at risk of developing it.

Divergent diagnoses for Alzheimer’s are the result of different criteria for diagnosing the disease. Some doctors worry the differing approaches can result in patients going misdiagnosed, or worse, being prescribed medications with potential negative health effects.

The problem highlights a larger question: How should Alzheimer’s disease be defined? Is it a biological disease based solely on the presence of brain proteins? Or is it a more complicated diagnosis that involves weighing risk and other factors?

What Is Screen Time Really Doing to Your Child’s Brain?

At Scire Integrative Health Center, we often hear parents say:
“When screen time goes up… so do the meltdowns.”

And while many families notice the behavioral changes, growing scientific evidence suggests the effects may go deeper than mood or attitude alone.

A peer-reviewed MRI study published in JAMA Pediatrics (Hutton et al., 2020) scanned the brains of 50 children ages 3–5. Researchers found that higher levels of interactive screen use were associated with lower structural integrity of white matter — the brain’s communication pathways responsible for language, literacy, and cognitive development.

Even after controlling for age, children with higher screen exposure scored lower on behavioral and early literacy measures.

This is not fringe science. It was published in a major medical journal.

These findings align with a broader body of research linking excessive early screen use to:

• Attention difficulties
• Sleep disruption
• Language delays
• Emotional dysregulation

At Scire Integrative Health Center, we are not anti-technology. Technology is part of modern life.

But we are pro-brain development.

Early childhood is a critical window for neural wiring. The brain is forming connections at an extraordinary pace — especially in areas responsible for attention, communication, and executive function. What children experience during these years matters.

When credible research raises concerns about the developing brain, we believe it deserves thoughtful attention — not dismissal.

If your child is struggling with attention, language delays, emotional regulation, or developmental concerns, it may be worth looking at the whole picture — including environmental inputs like screen exposure.

Healthy brains are built through movement, connection, conversation, sleep, and real-world sensory experiences.

Let’s protect that.
