EP. 11: The taboo word: REST—You’re not lazy, you’re either in SURVIVAL or HEALING: Let’s talk about the difference.

Welcome to Motherhood Aligned and Assigned with Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz. This week, we explore the critical and often taboo topic of rest, contrasting the lifestyles of high achievers and those who might feel perpetually lazy. Dr. Veronica shares her personal story of battling high-functioning anxiety and cycles of burnout during her college years. We discuss the importance of rest, not just for survival but for healing, and shed light on how different kinds of nervous system responses impact our perceptions of rest and laziness. Dr. Serena explains how chiropractic care can help recalibrate the nervous system, allowing it to effectively manage stress and improve sleep quality. We also discuss the role of chiropractic care in enhancing overall well-being by targeting neurological soft signs and their impact on everyday life.  00:00 Introduction00:28 High Achievers and the Pressure to Perform02:40 Understanding Rest and Recovery03:01 Identifying Different Types of Rest05:31 Practical Tips for Better Rest06:40 The Role of Chiropractic in Rest and Healing12:00 Navigating the Healing Journey12:31 Chiropractic and Sleep: The Connection12:56 Understanding the Vagus Nerve16:19 Patient Stories and Real-Life Examples18:00 The Path to Healing and Setting Goals22:32 The Role of Chiropractic in Personal Healing Connect with Veronica:WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Serena:WebsiteInstagramFacebook
