Episode 65 - Co-Regulation and Root Cause Parenting with the founder of The Brain Health Movement Lucia Silver

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything for your child, the appointments, the diet changes, the endless research, and yet, something still isn’t shifting?

You’re not alone.
What if the piece you’ve been missing is you?

In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about the critical, but often overlooked, role of a mother’s nervous system in her child’s healing. 

Lucia Silver (a devoted mother and founder of the Brain Health Movement) shares her journey through parenting a child with neuroimmune challenges, and what finally started making the real difference.

We talk co-regulation, overwhelm, guilt, nature, screens, toxins, family healing, and how to care for yourself without adding another thing to your to-do list.

Lucia and I chat about: 

• Why co-regulation isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a biological necessity
• The critical role of a mother’s nervous system in her child’s healing
• Simple shifts to reduce overwhelm, even on the hardest days
• How screens, processed foods, and lack of movement affect brain development
• Root causes of neurodevelopmental difficulties common in children 
• Early subtle signs that shouldn’t be ignored in our children’s behaviour and development 
• The surprising truth about challenging behaviour, and what’s really going on underneath
