Breaking the Cycle: Overcoming Stress Responses in Children

from The UNspecial Podcast · host UNspecial LLC

The host interviews Kelsey Spanbauer (Family.un Doctor), clinic director of Getti Wellness, about cell danger response and why kids with autism, PANS/PANDAS, and related issues may be stuck in survival mode when their bodies don’t feel safe. Spanbauer highlights major triggers such as EMF and blue light disrupting circadian biology and mitochondrial energy, and recommends practical home changes like improving lighting, limiting screens after sunset, hardwiring internet/unplugging Wi‑Fi, flipping breakers at night, grounding, and prioritizing sunshine, sleep quality, water, and unscheduled outdoor time. She describes CDR phases (hypersensitive “animal in a cage,” then cautious repair) and emphasizes addressing safety and mitochondrial structure before aggressive detox or infection treatment, using symptoms and parental intuition to guide timing. She shares her midwifery background, her children’s Lyme/PANS-like and seizure/developmental struggles, critiques fear-based medical coercion, and outlines her clinic services and an Advanced Cell Danger Response course.Visit our website: www.unspecialllc.com#specialeducation #specialed #podcast #unspecial #specialneedsjourney #specialneedskids #interview #truth #emotional👉 For more personal content, check us our on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unspecialllc/👉 If you haven't yet, make sure you read Special Dayz, a book about Zack's special education journey: https://www.amazon.com/Special-Dayz-Finding-God-Education/dp/B0FB2MXLGG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=3FXJ0P30N2DSA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.XD98iO1ekOJzKB8AjmbMFT5SvQFaevPs3HnMM5a3sRuQA01jFDzyydaDbLlghmOjd66qy3Kyoanyq4Mrlx8dRoYT8BxFDVDqvjTeeh3Ok7I4yNgCX9b6hqfC0ck8nkszhVxwj7KWnIe2uhbCFL-k4LpHDv2DB36pjedqblmGD4s_olQEymMD_6OJ-6-ZAMoAA4P5uhrsmwLiuQtw3BLWQQ.2Kj7exdzRcLqdAPom-W4FlvFJYd4rmKLl39yIWSe7Ls&dib_tag=se&keywords=special+dayz&qid=1751127945&sprefix=special+dayz%2Caps%2C214&sr=8-1
