EP. 7: You Know Your Teen Is Struggling… But They Say They’re Fine

Welcome to Motherhood Aligned and Assigned with Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz. This episode is dedicated to parents of teens who seem fine on the surface but are struggling underneath. Dr. Coffman shares a case study of a teen experiencing severe stress-related symptoms like vomiting during finals week. The discussion explains how teens might not always recognize or verbalize their stress, the role of the nervous system in these cases, and how chiropractic care can help manage and alleviate these issues. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing underlying nervous system stress to help high-achieving teens thrive. We also discuss the importance of getting nervous system scans to identify hidden stressors and promote overall wellness for the entire family. 00:00 Introduction 00:39 Case Study: A Teen's Struggle with Stress01:24 The Role of Nervous System in Teen Health01:36 Parental Challenges and Teen Independence03:09 Chiropractic Care and Teen Wellness06:32 Interpreting Scan Results and Teen Health08:55 Understanding Thermography and Stress09:12 Case Study: Overthinker and Thermal Patterns11:40 Chiropractic Impact on Teenager's Health13:07 Exploring Hidden Stress in High Achievers15:30 The Importance of Nervous System Health18:05 Finding the Right Chiropractor Resources Mentioned:Find a PX Doc near you Connect with Veronica:WebsiteInstagramFacebook Connect with Serena:WebsiteInstagramFacebook
