One of the most common things parents hear about their child's development is "let's just wait and see—they'll grow out of it." This is not only misleading, it can be dangerous. In Episode 364 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss break down the truth about childhood development and why the "wait and see" approach is failing families. Using current guidelines from the CDC, we expose major gaps in developmental standards—specifically the removal of one of the most critical stages: crawling. Development is not random. It is a neurological, step-by-step sequence that must occur in the correct order. When steps are skipped or delayed, it creates long-term consequences in motor function, brain development, and overall health. Dr. Skip explains how missing milestones like crawling can lead to issues such as pelvic floor dysfunction, poor posture, neurological delays, and even long-term challenges like ADHD and developmental disorders. We also discuss how current healthcare systems overlook these early warning signs and why early intervention matters more than ever. In This Episode You Will Learn: Childhood Development Truth: Why development is brain-based and must follow a specific sequence. The "Wait and See" Problem: Why delaying action can lead to long-term neurological issues. Missing Milestones: How skipping steps like rolling, sitting, and crawling impacts future development. Crawling Matters: Why crawling is essential for brain communication and has been removed from CDC guidelines. Primitive Reflexes: What they are, why they must integrate, and what happens if they don't. Motor vs. Language Development: Why your child should walk before they talk—and what it means if they don't. Long-Term Effects: How early developmental delays can lead to posture issues, pelvic dysfunction, and neurological challenges later in life. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: "Wait and See" is Wrong 00:45 Why Childhood Development is Brain-Based 02:00 The Importance of Sequential Development 04:00 Why Crawling is Being Ignored 06:00 Real Example: Developmental Delays & Long-Term Effects 09:00 CDC Guidelines Breakdown (2–6 Months) 14:30 Why Pediatric Assessments Miss These Issues 17:00 The Missing Crawling Stage (6–9 Months) 21:00 Walking vs Talking Development 26:00 Brain Development Explained (0–7 Years) 33:00 Why This Matters for Future Generations Struggling with your child's development or have concerns about missed milestones?

Why We Specialize In Pregnancy and Pediatric Chiropractic | Ep. 359 Episode Description: Why do we choose to focus on pregnancy and pediatrics instead of general back pain?

In Episode 359 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss explain exactly why they shifted their practice to focus on the beginning of life. They discuss the pivotal moment when a mentor changed their perspective on healthcare and why they believe so strongly in the body's inborn ability to heal. Dr. Julie shares her deep passion for pregnancy care, explaining why she fights to keep unnecessary medical interventions away from moms so they can have the birth experience they deserve. They also clear up the confusion between chiropractic and other therapies, discussing why true health isn't about adding more treatments but removing interference from the nervous system.

Numbness is not just your limb falling asleep; it is a warning sign from your nervous system that communication has been cut off. In Episode 357 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss break down one of the most common yet ignored symptoms in healthcare: Numbness. Whether it is tingling in your hands at night, facial paralysis scares, or the burning sensation of sciatica, these are red flags of nerve compression. We discuss why masking these symptoms with cortisone shots or anti-inflammatories often leads to further injury and why athletes would rather feel pain than nothing at all. Dr. Skip explains the anatomy of the neck and lower back to show exactly where the "kink in the hose" occurs and why treating the wrist for hand numbness often misses the root cause in the spine. In This Episode You Will Learn: Facial Numbness: How to distinguish between a stroke, Bell's Palsy, and an upper cervical subluxation. The Cortisone Trap: Why injections only reduce inflammation temporarily but do not fix the mechanical pressure on the nerve. Hand Numbness: Why tingling hands at night is often a neck alignment issue (C4-T1), not just a mattress problem. Sciatica and Foot Drop: The specific signs of disc herniation and when you need to seek immediate medical attention. Raynauds Phenomenon: Why cold, white fingers are actually a nervous system regulation issue. Pain vs. Numbness: Why pain is a helpful communicator and numbness is dangerous for injury prevention. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro and Dr. Julie's Socks 01:15 Why Medical Treatments for Numbness Often Fail 03:20 Facial Numbness: Stroke vs. Bell's Palsy vs. Subluxation 07:45 Hand Numbness and the Neck Connection 13:45 Anatomy of Arm Numbness 15:00 Raynauds Phenomenon Explained 17:45 Sciatica and Leg Numbness 19:00 The Dangers of Foot Drop 21:30 Why Numbness is Worse Than Pain Struggling with sciatica or chronic numbness?

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.
