265: Functional Medicine and “The Family Nervous System™”

Watch on YouTube:

"The Family Nervous System™"

What happens to a person’s nervous system during times of stress, specifically in the transition to parenthood? The impacts of this stress on an individual’s nervous system are also felt in the entire family system.

My guest, Dr. BG Mancini, has spent 25 years specializing in physical and neurological recovery in children with challenges and working with the entire family to recover “the family nervous system™.” I hope you are intrigued and want to know more!
