Let me guess…
You’re running on 5-6 hours of broken sleep.
You wake up tired.
By mid-afternoon you’re wondering if another cup of coffee is a good idea.
You love your kids deeply… but you feel overstimulated, touched out, and running on fumes more often than you’d like to admit.
Maybe you’ve already tried:
-
Supplements
-
Diet changes
-
Hormone testing
-
Functional medicine
-
Therapy
-
Pelvic floor rehab
-
Infrared saunas
-
All the “self-care”
And yet… you still don’t feel like yourself.
Here’s what I want you to hear clearly:
This may be common for parents — but it is not normal.
And you do not have to accept exhaustion as your baseline.
The Missing Piece Most People Overlook
When we feel off — tired, anxious, irritable, foggy, hormonally imbalanced — we’re usually told to look at:
-
Our nutrition
-
Our hormones
-
Our stress levels
-
Our mindset
All of those matter.
But they are not the foundation.
Your nervous system is.
Your nervous system controls:
-
Sleep
-
Hormone balance
-
Digestion
-
Immune function
-
Emotional regulation
-
Energy production
-
Stress resilience
If the nervous system is overwhelmed or stuck in stress mode, everything downstream struggles — no matter how many healthy things you try.
Why So Many Moms Feel “Wound Up and Worn Out”
When your nervous system gets stuck in this imbalanced state, it’s called nervous system dysregulation—or more specifically, dysautonomia
Your nervous system has two main modes:
1. The “Go Mode” (Fight or Flight) – Sympathetic
This is your stress response. It’s helpful in short bursts. It keeps you alert and able to respond quickly.
2. The “Restore Mode” (Rest, Digest, Heal) - Parasympathetic
This is where healing happens. Hormones balance. Digestion works smoothly. Sleep becomes deep and restorative.
These systems are meant to flow back and forth.
But for many moms, the stress response never fully turns off.
Think about everything your body has carried:
-
Fertility stress or pregnancy challenges
-
A birth experience that didn’t go as planned
-
Sleep deprivation for months (or years)
-
Constant mental load
-
Always listening for the monitor
-
Carrying babies and toddlers daily
-
Running a household
-
Work responsibilities
-
Relationship and financial stress
That’s not one stressful moment.
That’s chronic stress layered over years.
Your nervous system adapts the best it can… but eventually it gets stuck in protection mode.
And when that happens, you feel:
-
Tired but wired
-
Anxious but unfocused
-
Overstimulated and easily irritated
-
Bloated or dealing with digestive issues
-
Getting sick often
-
Struggling with hormone imbalance
-
Not fully yourself
It’s not that you’re failing.
It’s that your nervous system has been working overtime for a very long time.
Why Labs Often Come Back “Normal”
Many moms tell us:
“My labs were normal.”
“Nothing is technically wrong.”
“They said it’s just stress.”
Here’s why that happens.
Blood work measures chemistry.
But chemistry is controlled by neurology.
If the nervous system is dysregulated, your hormones and body systems will reflect that — even if labs aren’t dramatically abnormal.
That’s why at Foundation of Stone Pediatric & Perinatal Family Chiropractic, we look directly at nervous system function.
Seeing What’s Actually Going On: INSiGHT Scans
We use INSiGHT Scans to objectively measure how your nervous system is functioning.
These scans show:
-
Areas of stress and tension patterns
-
How well your body adapts to stress
-
Whether you’re stuck in “go mode”
-
How much reserve capacity your nervous system has
For many moms, the scans confirm what they’ve felt all along:
“I’m not crazy. My body really has been stuck in stress mode.”
And that validation alone is powerful.
How Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care Helps
This is not about “cracking backs” or just treating pain.
Neurologically-focused care is about restoring balance to the nervous system.
Using gentle, specific adjustments, we help:
-
Reduce stress patterns in the nervous system
-
Support better communication between brain and body
-
Improve adaptability to daily stress
-
Stimulate healthy vagus nerve function
-
Shift the body back toward healing mode
As the nervous system becomes more balanced, families often notice:
-
Better sleep
-
More stable moods
-
Improved digestion
-
Fewer sick days
-
More patience
-
Clearer thinking
-
More natural energy
Not because we’re masking symptoms — but because we’re supporting the foundation.
Why This Matters for Your Family
Here’s something beautiful and important:
Your children borrow calm from your nervous system before they can create it themselves.
When you are regulated and supported:
-
The home feels lighter
-
Stress doesn’t escalate as quickly
-
Your kids settle more easily
-
Connection feels easier
This isn’t about being a “perfect” parent.
It’s about having the capacity to show up the way you want to.
