A mom shares the turning point in her search for help for her seven-year-old son, who is autistic and has struggled with gut issues, especially constipation,since infancy. After years of doing “all the right things” in traditional care, she realized what was missing was a neurological lens that connected behavior, learning, and biology. In the episode, she explains how assessing primitive reflexes, low tone, and eye-tracking challenges reframed their plan, and why the gut–brain axis,and specifically the vagus nerve’s role in motility and regulation became a primary focus. Hearing a parent describe that moment when the puzzle pieces finally line up makes this conversation both relatable and practical for families navigating similar questions.

Inside the intensive, she walks through what the week actually looked like: structured sessions, targeted “brain games,” core strengthening, vestibular and ocular work, and daily strategies to bring vagal tone online. The immediate changes were hard to ignore, a body that had lived in fight-or-flight began to soften, attention settled, and classroom skills moved in measurable ways, with reading up around 50% and math up about 25%. Just as meaningful for their family, constipation began to ease as regulation improved, reinforcing the connection between nervous system balance and GI function. She’s candid about what’s still a work-in-progress, stubborn retained reflexes and ongoing social skills, so parents get a full picture of both the wins and the realities. If you’re exploring autism through a neurological and whole-child lens, this story offers a clear roadmap for asking better questions and stacking the right supports in the right order.

A mom flew to our Colorado clinic hoping for something to finally stick. Within days, her son was calmer, less startled, and even got a compliment from a stranger at dinner. That moment mattered because they used to avoid restaurants and church altogether. 
 
One simple decision helped jump-start change at home: remove the screen. In less than two weeks, he stopped asking for it and began playing on his own for up to two hours - building attention and confidence the whole family could feel. 
 
In clinic, we didn’t start with quick fixes. We found seven of eight primitive reflexes still active, then built from the ground up; posture, balance, vestibular support, before touching ocular drills. His wandering eye faded to where most people wouldn’t notice. That foundation is why changes carried into real life, from calmer public outings to signing up for soccer and eyeing baseball next. 
 
If you’ve tried things that felt good in the moment but didn’t stick, this conversation is for you. We talk about what actually moved the needle, how to keep momentum with a simple home plan, and why focusing on foundations first changes everything.

This is a story about a boy who could read words but could not read a page. His parents had tried speech, OT, and vision work for years. They were doing everything right and still watching him fight through schoolwork and sports. What changed was the decision to rebuild from the ground up. Primitive reflexes first. Balance and core next. Vision skills once the foundation was steady. Then the pieces started to click.

After the first intensive his writing settled onto the line. His shoulders relaxed. Reading stopped being a battle. A few weeks later his dad walked in and saw a stack of chapter books. He said he had finished his fifth or sixth book that day. At the same time his body felt different too. Rock wall routes that used to stall now flowed. He caught a fast racquetball while balancing on a Bosu and laughed instead of melting down when things got hard.

The family talks candidly about what actually helped. An organized plan. A consistent home program that was simple enough to keep doing. A team that looked at the whole child and kept the focus on foundations before quick fixes. They describe the commitment as worth every cent and offer clear encouragement to parents who are still searching. If you have been told to wait it out and something in your gut says keep going, this conversation is for you.

Mallory’s story is a powerful testimony to perseverance, faith, and the power of neurological healing. After suffering an anoxic brain injury that left her in the hospital for eight months, Mallory’s future was uncertain. Reflexes returned. Balance was lost. And progress was painfully slow. But through it all, she and her family never gave up.

In this episode, you will hear how targeted brain-based therapy changed everything. With tools like laser therapy, primitive reflex integration, and consistent at-home care, Mallory began to make gains that once seemed impossible. Her joy-filled attitude, work ethic, and trust in God have inspired everyone at our clinic. Today, Mallory is not only reclaiming her life but building a small business that blends therapy with purpose.

This conversation is an encouragement to any parent, therapist, or survivor navigating the long road of recovery. Mallory’s story shows that even after deep trauma, healing is still possible. It may take time. It may take work. But it is never out of reach.

When Bobbi first walked into Infinity with her daughter Paisley, she wasn’t sure if this was the right move. After trying everything—early intervention, speech therapy, OT—she was told the next step was medication. But something about that didn’t sit right.

In this episode, Dr. Lauren talks with Bobbi about what it’s like to parent a teenager with autism, especially when most resources dry up after childhood. They talk about anxiety, independence, and what it means to finally feel seen—not just for the child, but for the parent too. Bobbi shares how, in just two weeks, she watched her daughter’s body start to change, her confidence rise, and her personality come forward in ways she hadn’t seen before.

This isn’t about “fixing” autism. It’s about creating space for kids to regulate, connect, and show up as themselves—with more ease.

Most people are trying to solve complex health issues by treating symptoms—but they’re missing the root: energy. In this episode, Dr. Josh Madsen sits down with Dr. Jordan Shilts to break down powerful but underused therapies that help rebuild the body from the inside out. They dive into hyperbaric oxygen therapy, mitochondrial support, red light therapy, and how these tools work at the cellular level to restore function, improve brain health, and reverse chronic dysfunction. You’ll learn why some patients don’t get results, what has to be optimized before starting therapy, and how to build long-term resilience—whether you’re a practitioner, a patient, or someone looking to optimize performance. These are the conversations shifting healthcare from reactive to foundational.

This episode of Unraveling the Brain features a powerful story from a family who brought their son, diagnosed with Down syndrome, to the Infinity Neuromotor Development Center for a two-week intensive.

What seemed like behavioral issues turned out to be neurological overload. After supporting the brain with laser therapy, reflex integration, and sensory-motor work, this child began to focus better, communicate more clearly, and independently engage with classmates for the first time.

His story shows what’s possible when we stop labeling behaviors—and start looking at the brain.

✨ Infinity Neuromotor Development Centers are located in Iowa, Minnesota, and Colorado, helping kids with developmental delays, genetic conditions, and functional challenges through our advanced neuromotor intensives and brain-based therapy model.
