ADVICE

Assess Basics Before Treating Retained Reflexes

  • Do check blood sugar, sleep (10–12 hours for a 3-year-old), screen time, and consider testing for heavy metals or gut issues if a toddler has retained reflexes and extreme outbursts.
  • Try gentle chiropractic evaluation and, if needed, noninvasive tests (hair/urine metal test or 3-day stool parasite test) before aggressive interventions.
ADVICE

Treat Thyroid And Metabolism To Lower Cholesterol

  • Do prioritize optimizing thyroid and metabolic labs when high cholesterol coexists with weight changes and Hashimoto's disease.
  • Run a comprehensive 'big five' stress/metabolism panel (thyroid, cortisol curve, estrogen/progesterone, vitamin D, insulin/A1c) and use berberine, GLP-1 tone, omega‑3s, and vitamin D as indicated.
ADVICE

Sanitize Secondhand Bedding And Clothing

  • Do launder or sun-expose secondhand clothing and bedding to reduce risks like lice or bedbugs before use.
  • Leave items in sunlight for ~3 days, then wash hot with borax and natural detergent to disinfect.
