What Can I Actually Do at Home?

After last week’s episode, I heard from so many of you with the same question: “Okay… but what can I actually do at home?” In this episode, I’m diving deep into the practical, everyday steps you can take to help your child regulate their body, protect their energy, and build a strong biological foundation for lifelong health—starting right in your own home. We’ll talk about why true change begins with you, how your breathing and daily habits set the tone for your child, and how simple, consistent actions can prevent bigger issues later on. I share my personal journey—missteps, breakthroughs, and all—plus the tools and mindset shifts that can make a world of difference for both you and your child. Timeline Highlights [2:14] – Why real change doesn’t start in a clinic—it starts at home.[7:02] – Understanding deregulation and how your child’s behavior is actually biofeedback.[14:38] – The role of breathing, hydration, and sleep in emotional and physical regulation.[20:55] – My own parenting lessons from years of meltdowns, sleep deprivation, and sensory issues.[27:18] – How toxins affect nutrient absorption and what testing can reveal.[34:40] – Shifting from fear and force to presence and permission in parenting.[42:12] – The importance of oral function, myofunctional therapy, and early intervention. Links & ResourcesFounders Lifetime Access Course – Use code lifetime for the first 50 families at $197.Dental Hygiene 411 – Join our community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dh411 Learn more about the SHIFT Method Program: https://www.shereewertz.com/ Mentioned experts: Dr. Kelly Shockley – Chiropractor & “Doctor of Cause”Melissa Dealy – Guided health journey & toxin education If you enjoyed today’s episode, please take a moment to rate, review, and follow the podcast.
