"My Mighty Quinn" - From Tics, Turbulence, Distraction and Disconnection to Calm, Confident and Connected"

Welcome to My Mighty QuinnIn this episode, I’m joined by Aaron Delgrolice — founder of Hybrid Fitness Training, brain-based movement specialist, and passionate advocate for the connection between movement, the brain, and the nervous system.Aaron’s work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, movement, breathwork and nervous system regulation — helping both children and adults understand how simple, accessible activities can profoundly influence focus, coordination, mood, behaviour and resilience.Together, we explore a concept that changes everything:That movement is not just about fitness.Movement is brain development.Movement is regulation.Movement is connection.We explore why so many children struggling with ADHD, autism, anxiety, sensory issues, emotional dysregulation, poor coordination and learning difficulties may not simply need more discipline, more therapy or more medication — but more of the right kinds of movement.Key takeawaysWhy movement is foundational for brain development, regulation and emotional wellbeingHow the visual, vestibular and proprioceptive systems influence focus, balance, behaviour and learningWhy movement patterns like crawling, crossing the midline and balance work matter so much for child developmentHow nervous system dysregulation can show up as clumsiness, poor posture, emotional explosions, anxiety, poor concentration and sensory challengesWhy many children today are missing crucial movement experiences because of screens, sedentary lifestyles and modern environmentsThe role of breathwork in calming the nervous system and supporting focus, posture and emotional regulationHow parents can use simple, practical activities at home to support coordination, focus and nervous system regulationHow co-regulation, connection and movement together can strengthen the whole familyThis episode is deeply hopeful because it reminds us that some of the most powerful tools for healing are free, available to every family, and often hiding in plain sight.ResourcesThe Brain and Body Reset - A free guided video from AaronHybrid Fitness Training Website Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

What if anxiety isn’t “just anxiety”? What if ADHD, burnout, rage, meltdowns, sensory overwhelm, sleep problems and school refusal are not random problems to manage… but signals from a nervous system under siege?In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Lucia joins Zack Ponder on the UNspecial podcast to explore the uncomfortable truth that so many families are living: our modern world is dysregulating children and adults at an alarming rate.Lucia shares the raw story behind The Brain Health Movement and My Mighty Quinn — how her son Quinn went from a happy little boy to experiencing seizures, tics, anxiety, sensory overwhelm and school refusal, and how years of gaslighting, unanswered questions and “there’s nothing you can do” led her to uncover the deeper root causes behind his struggles.Together, Lucia and Zack explore: Why so many children are stuck in fight-or-flight  How birth trauma, nervous system dysregulation and chronic stress can shape development  The role of tech, ultra-processed food, sleep disruption and “the attention economy”  Why symptoms are often “smoke, not fire”  What PANS/PANDAS is and why so many families are missing it  The overlooked importance of co-regulation and a parent’s nervous system  Why families often feel stuck despite trying “everything”  The healing sequence Lucia believes every parent deserves to understand This is a conversation about nervous systems, root causes, resilience, parenting, hope and the possibility of healing.Because your child is not broken. And you are not powerless.If you have ever felt like your child is slipping through the cracks, or that you are carrying the weight of everything alone, this episode will make you feel seen, understood and far less alone. ResourcesDownload our Free Guide Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

Welcome to My Mighty QuinnIn this powerful episode, I’m joined by Kelsey Spanbauer — midwife, cellular healing expert, and founder of Engedi Wellness Centre.Kelsey’s work sits at the intersection of biology, environment and parental intuition — helping families understand what is truly happening beneath the surface of chronic childhood conditions.Together, we explore a concept that changes everything: That beneath many of today’s rising childhood challenges — anxiety, autism, ADHD and autoimmune illness — lies something far more fundamental.An energy crisis inside the body’s cells. This conversation takes us deeper than protocols, deeper than symptom management — into the role of mitochondria, cellular safety, and the signals that determine whether a child’s body moves toward healing or survival.It is both confronting and deeply hopeful, because when we understand how the body truly works, we stop fighting it — and start working with it.Key takeawaysWhy many childhood conditions may stem from a cellular energy crisis — not isolated symptoms What mitochondria really do — and how they influence behaviour, immunity and development The concept of the cell danger response and how it keeps children stuck in chronic illness Why conventional and even holistic treatments can fail if cellular energy isn’t restored first How modern environments (light, EMF, water, stress) are directly impacting children’s biology Why healing must follow a specific biological sequence, not a scattergun approach The powerful role of the parent in regulating and guiding healing How small, foundational changes at home can shift a child’s trajectory Why resilience — not symptom suppression — is the true marker of healing This episode is about asking a different question.Not what is wrong with my child? But what is their body trying to tell me?Because our children are responding — intelligently, biologically — to the environments, stressors and signals around them.And when we change those signals, we change the outcome.ResourcesFree GuideKelsey's Website Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

Welcome to My Mighty QuinnIn this powerful and deeply important episode, I’m joined by Beth Lambert, founder and executive director of Documenting Hope, a non-profit dedicated to understanding, preventing and reversing chronic health and developmental conditions in children.Her work is uncovering how environmental exposures, lifestyle factors and biological stress are shaping children’s health — and showing that healing is possible when those conditions change.Together, we explore why the epidemic of childhood chronic illness cannot be explained by genetics alone, why children may be acting as “canaries in the coal mine” for our wider environment, and why parents are increasingly becoming investigators and advocates in their children’s healing journeys.This conversation is both sobering and hopeful — because once we understand what is driving this crisis, we can begin to change it.Key takeawaysWhy the rise in autism, ADHD, autoimmune illness and anxiety represents a children’s health crisis The concept of “total load” — how toxins, stress, infections and lifestyle accumulate in a child’s body Why the conventional medical model often misses the bigger picture of chronic illness What Beth’s CHIRP Study reveals about environmental drivers of childhood disease The FLIGHT Study and what happens when families reduce toxic exposures and support whole-child health How nervous system health and detox pathways influence resilience and healing Why genetics alone cannot explain the explosion of childhood illness Evidence that many chronic conditions can improve when root causes are addressed Why empowered parents are becoming drivers of change in children’s healthThis episode is about stepping back and asking the bigger question.Not what diagnosis does a child have?But what has changed in the world around them?Because our children are not broken.They are responding — intelligently and adaptively — to the environments we have created. And when those environments change, healing becomes possible.ResourcesFree GuideBeth's Website Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

Welcome to My Mighty QuinnIn this illuminating episode, I’m joined by Dr Daniel Kimbley, founder of Nexus Family Chiropractic and creator of the Nexus Method — a nervous system-first clinical approach designed to identify and restore the brain’s missing input.Dr Daniel began his career not in a clinic, but in a classroom. He watched children labelled as defiant, distracted, and disruptive — yet instinctively knew something deeper was at play. What looked like “won’t” was often “can’t.” What was dismissed as behaviour was, in truth, nervous system capacity. Together, we explore what happens when a child’s brain is stuck in protection mode and why so many of the challenges facing our children today are not psychological failures, but neurological adaptations to stress.We go inside the nervous system itself — how it develops, how it becomes dysregulated, and crucially, how it can be restored.Key takeawaysWhy behaviour is often a sign of neurological overwhelm — not defianceWhat it means when the nervous system is stuck in “protection mode”How chronic stress affects the prefrontal cortex — the brain’s centre for regulation, focus, and emotional controlThe critical role of pregnancy, birth, and early stress in shaping nervous system developmentHow nervous system dysregulation can present as ADHD, anxiety, rage, sleep issues, digestive problems, and moreWhat “hemispheric imbalance” means and how it shows up in learning, behaviour, and emotional healthHow neurologically-focused chiropractic care provides precise input to help the brain reorganise and regulateWhy healing often follows a predictable sequence — sleep, digestion, emotional regulation, and behaviourPowerful case studies of kids who experienced profound transformation when their nervous systems were supportedPractical, accessible ways parents can begin supporting their child’s nervous system at homeThis episode is about understanding the child beneath the behaviour. About recognising that the brain is not broken — it is adaptive. Because healing doesn’t begin with behaviour. It begins with the brain.ResourcesFree GuideDr Daniel Kimbley's Website Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

Welcome to My Mighty QuinnIn this powerful, wide-angle, and deeply grounding episode, I’m joined by Alicia Drummond, founder of The Wellbeing Hub and recent recipient of the BETT 2026 Award for Best Wellbeing Resources, dive inside the reality of what is really happening in schools right now and the pressure our children are carrying.Alicia brings a rare panoramic view, drawn from supporting 170,000+ students across 300+ schools in 6 countries, and what she shares, confirms what so many parents are sensing but struggling to name: we are no longer dealing with isolated issues, we are facing a whole-system strain on children, families, and schools alike. Together, we explore what teachers are seeing at every stage of development, from children arriving at school not ready to learn, to rising anxiety, emotional dysregulation, school avoidance, burnout, and distress.This is not a conversation about blame. It’s a conversation about biology, nervous systems, belonging, and capacity and about how parents and schools can work with one another instead of breaking apart under pressure.Key takeaways include:What schools are really seeing at all key, school agesWhy many children are arriving at school without foundational regulation, motor, or social readinessHow anxiety presents differently across ages, including fight, flight, freeze and fawnWhy behaviour is so often biology, not defianceThe role of belonging, safety, and co-regulation in learning and resiliencePractical, realistic supports that help children regulate during the school dayWhy collaboration — not escalation — is the key to working with schoolsHow parents can raise concerns in ways that build partnership rather than conflictWhat to watch for when “normal teenage behaviour” crosses into genuine distressThis is an episode about understanding, compassion, and shared responsibility.Because children don’t develop — or heal — in isolation.And when the adults around them feel more regulated, informed, and supported, children have a far better chance of doing the same.ResourcesFree GuideThe Wellbeing Hub Website Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

Welcome to My Mighty QuinnIn this deeply honest, compassionate, and empowering episode, I’m joined by Sean McNicholas, founder of New Me Therapy, also known as The ADHD Expert, to shine a long overdue light on a missing part of the ADHD conversation: The Parent.This episode is for the adults — especially parents parenting with ADHD (diagnosed or undiagnosed) — who are holding families together while feeling overwhelmed, distracted, reactive, exhausted, and often quietly ashamed.Together, we unpack why parenting with ADHD feels so relentlessly hard — and why it’s not a personal failing, but biology under pressure.We explore the invisible load ADHD parents carry: the mental juggling, time blindness, sensory overwhelm, emotional reactivity, masking, guilt, burnout, and the collapse that so often happens behind closed doors.And crucially, we talk about what actually helps — in the moment and long-term.Key takeaways include:Why adult ADHD is still misunderstood and under-supportedHow shame, masking, and survival-mode coping develop over a lifetimeWhat’s really happening in the ADHD brain during overwhelm, reactivity, and burnoutWhy symptoms like chaos, forgetfulness, snapping, shutdown, and exhaustion are nervous-system signals — not character flawsThe role of stress, sleep, stimulants, inflammation, and lifestyle in ADHD regulationPractical tools for reducing overwhelm in daily family life (planning, structure, routines, sensory boundaries)How to expand capacity rather than simply “try harder”Why co-regulation applies to adults too — and how to find it safelyHow compassion, curiosity, and nervous-system awareness change the parenting experienceSimple, realistic steps parents can take immediately to feel calmer, clearer, and more connectedThis is an episode about relief, understanding, and permission.Because when parents feel safer and more supported, families do too.ResourcesFree GuideSean's Website Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

Welcome to My Mighty QuinnIn this deeply grounding and illuminating episode, I’m joined by Fran Aitken, founder of Awaken Chiropractic, to explore why the nervous system must always be the first place we look when a child is struggling.This conversation is called “Wired from the Start” — because so many children’s challenges don’t begin with behaviour, school, or diagnosis. They begin much earlier, in pregnancy, birth, and the early environment, where a child’s nervous system is already adapting, compensating, and doing its best to survive.Together, Fran and I unpack how early stress can wire a child’s nervous system into heightened vigilance from day one. We explore why symptoms like poor sleep, sensory sensitivity, emotional dysregulation, hyperactivity, digestive issues, tics, and difficulty with transitions are not “bad behaviour” — but biology communicating distress.Crucially, this episode also speaks to parents. Because children don’t regulate alone — they co-regulate — and why self-care is not indulgence, but a duty of care for our children’s development.Key Takeaways include:Why many children arrive already in a heightened, protective nervous-system stateHow pregnancy, birth experience, and early environment shape nervous-system wiringWhy symptoms are signals — not failures, flaws, or “naughty behaviour”What neurological insight scans reveal (and what they don’t)How heart rate variability reflects resilience, fatigue, and adaptabilityWhy regulation must come before protocols, therapies, or learning demandsHow nervous-system organisation supports sleep, digestion, immunity, emotional ease, and connectionThe essential role of co-regulation — and why parents’ nervous systems matter just as muchSimple, compassionate first steps families can take todayThis is an episode about sequence, safety, and hope. About understanding that healing doesn’t start with fixing symptoms — it starts with helping the nervous system feel safe enough to develop as nature intended.ResourcesFree Guide. Fran's Website Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

In this warm, practical, and laugh-because-it’s-true Christmas special, I sit down once again with the incomparable Lucinda Miller — family nutrition expert, bestselling author, founder of NatureDoc, and one of our most beloved experts inside the Whole Child Healing Course.Together, we unravel the real reason December hits families so hard — not because we’re doing Christmas “wrong,” but because exhausted children, depleted parents, overstimulating routines, and a month-long sugar parade collide in a way no nervous system was built to handle.This episode is a lifeline for every mother (and every dad, grandparent, and caregiver) trying to hold it all together through the longest school term of the year, the onslaught of colds, the late nights, the overstimulation, the food battles, the emotional wobbles… and still somehow “make the magic.”Lucinda and I break down practical, doable, genuinely sanity-saving ways to support your child’s behaviour, mood, sleep, immunity — and crucially, your own wellbeing — through the most dysregulating month of the year. Without perfection. Without pressure. Without martyrdom.Because calm isn’t accidental — it’s created.And when we feed the calm, the whole family shifts.Key Takeaways Include:Why December is a “perfect storm” for kidsWhat’s actually driving behaviour right nowHow to “feed the calm” before the chaos beginsSimple swaps that make a big differenceWhat to do when they’re already overwhelmedThe immunology mums aren’t told aboutSleep support that actually worksTop tips for parents and caregivers at ChristmasHappy Christmas — and remember: even one quiet breath is a gift to your nervous system.ResourcesNatureDoc RecipesBrain Brilliance BookChristmas Survival GuideChristmas Giveaway Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

In this beautifully honest and deeply validating episode, I sit down with the remarkable Dr Hilary Claire — clinical psychologist, nutritionist, integrative practitioner, and the author of Mama, Let It Go, The Motherhood Reset, and The Nourished Mama.Together, we unpack one of the most urgent and misunderstood crises of modern motherhood: maternal burnout — not as a moral failing, not as a personal weakness, but as a physiological, psychological, and cultural collision of pressures no mother was ever meant to endure alone.Dr Hilary and I explore the real forces draining today’s mothers:  from nutrient depletion, sleep loss and dysregulated nervous systems to toxic expectations, unsupported homes, perfectionism, and the invisible emotional labour women carry every hour of every day.Most importantly, she shows mothers the path back — not through grand gestures or unrealistic routines, but through micro-shifts, nervous-system repair, nourishment, boundaries, and remembering our own humanity.Because a calm nervous system is not a luxury, it is the most powerful healing force in your home.Key Takeaways Include:Burnout isn’t “just how motherhood is” — it’s a sign of nutrient depletion, chronic stress, dysregulation, and isolation.A dysregulated mother cannot co-regulate a dysregulated child — and this is biology, not blame.Simple but powerful nervous-system tools to help mothers shift from survival mode to calm responsiveness.Micro-shifts — not overhauls — create sustainable change.Setting boundaries begins with mothers valuing their own wellbeing first — not waiting for permission.Maternal wellbeing is not separate from child wellbeing — it is the foundation.Mothers need support, clarity, and the courage to stop doing it all.You do not begin to heal by doing more. You begin by feeling, pausing, and reconnecting with yourself.Listen now to reclaim your energy, your clarity, and the calm power every child depends on.ResourcesDownload the Free GuideDr Hilary's Website Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

Welcome to My Mighty QuinnIn this powerful and deeply personal episode, I’m joined by the extraordinary Dr Lauren Lee Stone — functional medicine practitioner, homotoxicologist, and mother of two boys once diagnosed with autism and PANS — neither of whom holds those diagnoses today.Together, we expose the hidden toxic load affecting every modern child — from food, water, air and medications to birth trauma, stress, and emotional overwhelm — and how these silent stressors are inflaming young brains and bodies.Dr Lauren shares her family’s remarkable recovery story and explains why so many children today struggle with sleep, anxiety, aggression, gut issues, tics and learning challenges — and what parents can do to start clearing the path to healing.She breaks down complex science into compassionate, practical steps any family can take right now — showing that true detox is not deprivation or “kill protocols,” but a gentle, bio-individual process of strengthening and re-educating the body to heal itself.Key Takeaways include:Children today are born with their mothers’ accumulated toxic load — from heavy metals and chemicals to emotional stress and infections.Chronic symptoms like anxiety, sleep problems, tics, gut issues, and meltdowns often point to an inflamed brain, not a behavioural disorder.The “whole toxic load” includes environmental, dietary and emotional stressors.Birth trauma and early medical interventions can disrupt development and nervous-system regulation.Gentle detoxification begins only after opening drainage pathways and fortifying the organs of elimination.Aggressive “kill” detoxes can backfire, causing regression and inflammation.Parents can start today by reducing household toxins, nourishing with real food, and prioritising restorative sleep.Above all, parents are the magic — when you heal, your child heals.Listen now to understand why your child’s body may be too burdened to heal — and how you can begin lifting that load, one gentle step at a time.ResourcesFree Guide Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

WelcomeIf you’ve ever wondered why your baby hates tummy time, startles at every sound, or feels “floppy” in your arms — this episode is for you.Because the truth is, those tiny movements in the first 90 days of life are doing far more than we think. They’re wiring your baby’s brain for a lifetime of learning, focus, and emotional connection. I sit down with Brandon Kingston, functional neurologist and founder of Bright Minds Neurodevelopment, to uncover the extraordinary science — and simple daily practices — that shape your child’s brain and nervous system from birth.If you’re an expectant parent, new parent, or simply want to understand how to build your baby’s brain the natural way — this conversation is pure gold. Episode SummaryBrandon and I dive deep into the miraculous first 90 days and how sensory input, movement, and connection lay the foundation for lifelong learning and behaviour.Brandon explains why those first three months are the fastest period of brain growth we’ll ever experience, how primitive reflexes build the foundations for attention, emotional regulation, and even eating habits, and why modern parenting habits may be quietly rewiring development in the wrong direction.And perhaps most importantly, we remind parents that they are enough. Because the greatest “neurotherapy” any child can receive is a calm, connected caregiver.Key TakeawaysThe first 90 days of life are the most critical for brain development.Primitive reflexes (like rooting, Moro, and ATNR) are essential milestones that build circuits for attention, regulation, and learning.Tummy time, skin-to-skin contact, and eye-to-eye play are the most effective “brain-building exercises” you can do.Avoid prolonged bouncer use, constant swaddling, and early screen exposure — these restrict natural movement and sensory development.A calm, regulated parent is a child’s greatest teacher — your nervous system sets the tone for theirs.ResourcesBright Minds WebsiteFree Guide Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

Welcome back to My Mighty Quinn, today, I’m joined by Melissa and Spencer Doman of Doman International. Spencer is the grandson of Glen Doman, a pioneer in brain development whose revolutionary approach has helped over 30,000 families worldwide. Glen’s work focused on treating the brain rather than symptoms, leading to remarkable outcomes for children with autism, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, ADHD, and more.Melissa and Spencer continue his legacy, championing the Doman Method, a family-centred, brain-first approach that gives parents the tools to foster real progress in their children.We discuss:The origins and philosophy behind the Doman MethodWhy treating the brain, rather than just the symptoms, is key to progressThe six pillars of child development and how they interconnectThe crucial role of movement in brain functionPractical steps parents can take at homeKey TakeawaysThe Brain is the Root Cause – Many diagnoses focus on symptoms rather than underlying brain function. The Doman Method prioritises neurological development for lasting change.Parents Are the Best Therapists – The most effective interventions happen at home. Parents, not clinicians, have the greatest influence on daily progress.Movement Fuels Development – Crawling, creeping, and cross-pattern movements are essential for cognitive, speech, and sensory development. If your child skipped crawling, it’s never too late to go back.Reading is a Visual Skill, Not a Speech Skill – Many children struggle with phonics, but teaching reading visually, using large-print sight words, can lead to breakthroughs.Gut and Brain Connection – Nutrition plays a key role in brain function. Healing the gut can lead to cognitive and behavioural improvements.Never Underestimate Your Child – Speak to your child as if they understand everything. Respect their intelligence, even if they can’t express it yet.Resources & LinksDownload the Parent's Guide to Brain-First HealingDoman Website Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

Welcome If you’ve ever been told your child is “just anxious,” needs firmer discipline, or is simply wired differently — this episode could change everything.Because sometimes, it’s not “just behaviour.” It’s not ADHD. It’s not autism. It’s your child’s immune system attacking their brain.I sit down with Dr Nancy O’Hara — world-renowned paediatrician and functional medicine expert — to expose the truth about PANS, PANDAS, and Basal Ganglia Encephalitis: immune-driven brain conditions that are more common than most realise, often misunderstood, and frequently misdiagnosed.This is personal. My son Quinn has PANS. I’ve lived the overnight personality shifts, the fear, the school calls, the tics, sleep terrors, and seizures. If you’ve ever looked at your child and thought, “This isn’t my child anymore,” this conversation will meet you there — and offer grounded hope.Episode Summary Dr O’Hara and I unpack what PANS and PANDAS truly are, how they differ from typical mental health conditions, and why so many children are missed. We explore symptoms like sudden OCD, anxiety, tics, regression, sleep and eating changes, and even seizures. Dr O’Hara explains how infections, mould, and toxins can trigger these conditions — and why this isn’t “bad behaviour,” it’s brain inflammation.We also cover diagnosis, treatment, and the vital role of parental self-care and advocacy. I share my journey with Quinn — the heartbreak, the healing, and the fierce love it takes to fight for answers.Key TakeawaysPANS, PANDAS are underdiagnosed, not rare. They’re immune brain conditions that can cause extreme changes in mood, behaviour, and function.If your child suddenly develops OCD, anxiety, tics, food refusal, bedwetting, rage, or sleep issues — don’t brush it off. Common triggers include infections, mould, toxins, stress, and family history of autoimmunity.Testing can help, but clinical history matters most.True healing needs a three-pronged approachParental stress is inflammatory too. Your nervous system affects theirs — which is why self-care and co-regulation are essential, not optional.ResourcesDemystifying PANS / PANDAS by Dr Nancy O'HaraFree Quick Start Guide to PA Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

Welcome to My Mighty QuinnIn this powerful, passionate and eye-opening episode, I’m joined by the incomparable Dr Tony Ebel — neurologically focused chiropractor, father of four, founder of PX Docs, and pioneer of The Perfect Storm™ framework.Together, we’re blowing the lid off the nervous system epidemic hiding behind so many childhood labels — from autism, ADHD and anxiety to seizures, PANS/PANDAS, gut issues, tics and developmental delays.We go all the way back to where it starts — the delivery room — and reveal the truth about how modern birth interventions can disrupt the brainstem, damage the Vagus nerve, and send the nervous system into shutdown.Dr Tony explains what’s really happening to the brain and body in utero, at birth, and in the early years — and why true healing must begin at the beginning.This is the conversation I wish I’d had the day Quinn was born. Frankly, I needed to know this before conceiving and delivery planning!Key Takeaways:Birth trauma is common, not rare — and often goes unrecognised, even in “routine” deliveries.The upper cervical spine and brainstem are the most neurologically dense and vulnerable areas in a newborn — and the first to be injured during traumatic birth.Prenatal stress alters brain development via maternal cortisol exposure.The Vagus nerve is the master regulator of digestion, immunity, speech, sleep, socialisation and emotional regulation.Dr Tony outlines the 3 Stages of Nervous System Dysfunction:Sympathetic Dominance (e.g. colic, ADHD, anxiety)Neurological Disorganisation (e.g. immune, gut, motor delays)Neurological Exhaustion (e.g. regression, shutdown, autism)Neurologically focused chiropractic uses targeted scans and gentle adjustments to restore Vagus nerve function.Parents are not powerless. Even if you can’t access a chiropractor, you can start to support your child’s nervous system at home.ResourcesDr Tony's StoryDownload the Free GuideLearn more about PX Docs: www.pxdocs.com Support the showResource Links: Free Masterclass for Overwhelmed ParentsEnrol in the Complete Course - "A Whole Child, Multi-Disciplinary Roadmap to Healing": Complete Course EnrolmentEnrol in The Taster Course - "Discover the Root Cause of your Child’s Attention, Behaviour and Learning Difficulties": Taster Course Enrolment Download your FREE Guides now: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/free-guidesTake a look at our other Resources: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com/resourcesJoin our Private Community on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/thebrainhealthmovement Follow Us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thebrainhealthmovementThe Brain Health Movement's Website: www.thebrainhealthmovement.com

Welcome to My Mighty QuinnI’m Lucia Silver, founder of The Brain Health Movement and mother to the mighty Quinn. This is the podcast where we engage in clear-eyed, courageous conversations about childhood brain health, development, and resilience. Today’s episode is one that every parent and educator must hear.Wake Up to Screen Toxicity — with Emily CherkinIn this vital episode, I’m joined by Emily Cherkin, a former educator and leading voice in the movement for tech-intentional parenting. She is the author of The Screentime Solution: A Judgment-Free Guide to Becoming a Tech-Intentional Family. Together, we pull back the curtain on the pernicious impact of screen exposure on children’s brains, from toddlers to teens.Emily brings the data, the insight, and the humanity to a topic that touches every modern household. We explore why screens are not calming children, but instead rewiring their brains in concerning ways; how screen time displaces critical developmental experiences; and why parents must reclaim their power from the tech industry. Emily’s philosophy of “tech intentionality” offers a practical, compassionate framework for every family.Key TakeawaysChildren aged 8 to 18 now average 7.5 hours of recreational screen time per day - excluding school hours.Excessive screen use is displacing vital developmental needs such as movement, sleep, social interaction, and executive function.The tech industry is not neutral; products are designed for addiction and profit, not child wellbeing.“Calming” effects of screens are neurological myths - screens stimulate, not soothe.Parents are not powerless. Delaying, reducing, and modelling healthy tech habits makes a real difference.“Tech intentionality” means aligning screen use with family values and developmental needs.Reframing the removal of screens as a gift, not a punishment, can radically change the home dynamic.ResourcesBook: The Screentime Solution by Emily CherkinFree GuideRemember to share this episode with a fellow parent - change begins with conversation.

Welcome to "My Mighty Quinn", the show where we explore the fascinating world of child development with leading experts. I'm Lucia Silver, your host and today we have the pleasure of speaking again with Dr. Josh Madsen, a renowned expert in paediatric development.In this insightful and final episode of this  introductory series, Dr. Josh and I delve into the crucial topic of primitive reflexes and their impact on a child's development. We explore how these foundational neurological responses can influence behaviour, learning, and overall development well-being. We  discuss  some valuable strategies for parents to support their child's growth and unlock their full potential through addressing the primitive reflexes at home.Key Takeaways for Parents:Understanding Reflexes: Primitive reflexes are foundational neurological responses that shape a child's early development. Recognising and addressing these reflexes can lead to significant improvements in behaviour, learning, and overall well-being.Impact on Behaviour and Learning: Reflexes can have a profound influence on a child's behaviour, including impulse control, emotional regulation, and learning abilities. By targeting the inhibition of these reflexes, parents can create a supportive environment for their child's growth.Holistic Approach to Development: The importance of a holistic approach, considering factors such as nutrition, quality of sleep, and screen time. These elements play a crucial role in optimising a child's healthy neurological development.Patience and Persistence: Progress in addressing primitive reflexes is not immediate. Patience, consistent implementation and a nurturing environment are key to fostering positive changes in a child's well-being and abilities.Empowerment through Knowledge: Equipping yourself with understanding and strategies for primitive reflex inhibition empowers you as a parent to actively contribute to your child's development journey.We hope you found the discussions on child development informative and inspiring.

In this multiple "Eureka Moment" episode of "My Mighty Quinn" podcast series, Lucia Silver reveals seven critically important facts about child brain development. Lucia unveils a world of insights that challenge conventional thinking about neurological disorders and empower parents and caregivers to understand and address the real root causes behind their child's challenges. "Information is the Mothership!" declares Lucia as she shares her deep understanding of these facts. Her dedication  to providing accessible, digestible and, above all else, actionable solutions, make this episode an essential resource for anyone invested in supporting their children's healthy brain development and all the improvements and advancements that come with this.Key Takeaways:1. Neurodiverse conditions (e.g. Autism, ADHD, Tics etc.) are not the root problem; the lack of proper brain development is.2. Asymmetrical brain development or inefficient connections between brain hemispheres can lead to diverse symptoms.3. The brain is neuroplastic, meaning it can change with proper stimulation, offering hope for improvement.4. Proper stimulation comes chiefly from involves a rich sensory environment, developmental movements, and lifestyle changes.5. Brain development is not fully completed at birth, this process takes place through food and oxygen and, most importantly, MOVEMENT and other stimulation.6. Both sides of the brain need to develop in accordance with very exact milestones in a very exact sequence to function properly.7. Symptoms are clues pointing to brain development issues, they are not the problem itself.8. Primitive reflexes play a critical role in motor skills and all neurological development.9. Primitive reflexes must be inhibited in order for the brain to  advance to the next stage and develop higher functioning skills. If this does not happen delays and disorders result affecting coordination, attention, regulation and learning.10. Early intervention with tailored exercises can inhibit these primitive reflexes and significantly improve all areas of development.These key takeaways provide a comprehensive understanding of the foundational principles of child brain development.
