Before you buy another ashwagandha supplement, book that $5,000 wellness retreat to Sedona, or purchase an infrared sauna from Costco—you need to understand something crucial about your nervous system: most regulation tools don't go deep enough.

In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz explain why parents are burnt out from doing all the "right things" but still feel terrible. They share the story of a wellness professional who came in taking all the supplements, doing mold detoxes, working with multiple providers—and still felt crappy every day. Her Oura Ring never got past the teens. She was blue at birth (her dad called her a "Smurf"), and that pattern had been stuck in her nervous system ever since. Discover why you can't regulate something that needs repaired first, how supplements and saunas are just "crunchy band-aids" without the foundation, and why glitter-covered poop is still poop. You don't need more hacks—you need a healed nervous system. Repair makes regulation possible.
