Do you believe it takes 21 days to break a habit? Neurologically, that is a myth.

In Episode 356 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss explain why you cannot simply "think" your way out of chronic stress, anxiety, or poor posture. While most people try to use mental willpower to change their lives, true habits are neurological, not just mental. If your nervous system is stuck in a survival pattern (fight or flight), no amount of positive thinking will override that biological programming.

We dive deep into how these patterns start—often as early as birth or in the womb—and discuss the impact of retained primitive reflexes like the Moro Reflex. Dr. Skip explains why "survival mode" prevents brain growth and how physical intervention (chiropractic care) is often the missing link to resetting the body's communication system.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • The 21-Day Myth: Why neurological reprogramming takes years, not weeks.

  • Mental vs. Neurological: Why willpower fails when your body is physically stuck in survival mode.

  • Visual Diagnostics: How to spot nerve interference in your kids (asymmetry, acne spots, posture).

  • The Moro Reflex: Why an infant startle reflex can cause anxiety in adults if not integrated.

  • The Marathon Trap: Why extreme endurance exercise might be keeping you in a stress state.

  • Pregnancy & Pediatrics: Why early checks are essential for developmental milestones.
