You’re Not Broken—Your Nervous System Is Just Stuck
If you’ve tried every sleep hack, energy drink, supplement, and fitness trend out there—and you still feel foggy, worn out, and like you’re running on fumes—let me reassure you: you’re not lazy, and you’re not broken.
What’s more likely? Your nervous system is stuck in survival mode… and it’s keeping your body from fully recharging no matter how hard you try.
No amount of coffee, B12, or 5 AM workouts can override a chronically stressed and subluxated nervous system. If your “gas pedal” is stuck on overdrive and your “brake pedal” isn’t working, burnout isn’t just likely—it’s inevitable.
This message is for every exhausted parent who has tried it all: the diet changes, supplements, better sleep routines, meditation apps… and yet still struggles with fatigue, brain fog, and that heavy “I’m running on empty” feeling.
At Rooted Wellness Chiropractic, we see you. We see the way you pour into your kids, your family, and everyone around you—and how often that means putting yourself last.
It’s time to change that. 🌱 Let’s talk about how to reboot, recharge, and regulate your nervous system so you can finally feel like you again.
The Reality Check: You’re Not Alone
Studies show that up to 14% of parents experience full-blown burnout, with moms affected at even higher rates. Another study found over 20% of adults are living with chronic fatigue, but parents top that list by far.
Here in our practice, we see it every day: parents come in thinking they’re just “normal tired.” But when we run their INSiGHT scans, they often reveal significant nervous system stress and patterns of sympathetic dominance—meaning their body is stuck in fight-or-flight mode, draining their energy reserves.
The Real Root Cause of Parental Exhaustion
Here’s what most healthcare providers don’t tell you:
Your energy levels are deeply tied to your nervous system regulation, especially the balance between your sympathetic (“fight or flight”) and parasympathetic (“rest and recharge”) systems.
When that balance is lost—something we call dysautonomia—your body’s ability to make and regulate energy plummets, no matter how clean your diet is or how many supplements you take.
And here’s the kicker: this often ties back to subluxation—interference in the communication pathways between your brain and body. This impacts your vagus nerve, which directly affects your ability to recover from stress, regulate hormones, and produce the energy your body needs.
How the 3T’s Drain Parents Dry
Parenting piles on a unique combination of stressors that we call the “3 T’s”:
💥 Trauma (Physical Stressors)
Carrying kids on your hip, birth injuries, posture struggles, and old unresolved injuries create tension in the nervous system that robs you of energy.
🧪 Toxins (Chemical Stressors)
From processed foods and environmental toxins to that endless cortisol rush from stress, your body’s detox systems get overloaded.
💭 Thoughts (Emotional Stressors)
Life transitions, relationship changes, sleepless nights, and mental load keep your nervous system stuck in high alert mode.
Add in today’s tech-heavy world (hello, screens everywhere), and it’s no wonder parents are hitting a wall.
Why All the “Quick Fixes” Aren’t Working
Most approaches to exhaustion only mask symptoms:
☕ Caffeine & Energy Drinks: Push your nervous system harder and leave you more depleted.
💤 Sleep Medications & Supplements: May help you fall asleep but don’t address why your sleep isn’t restorative in the first place.
🙅♀️ “That’s Just Parenthood” Attitude: Dismisses the neurological dysfunction keeping your body stuck in stress mode.
Here’s the truth: this isn’t just “parent tired.” It’s your nervous system crying out for help.
The Missing Link: Neurologically-Focused Care
At Rooted Wellness Chiropractic, we take a different approach.
🌱 Our Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care works to gently restore communication in the nervous system, helping your body switch out of “fight or flight” and back into “rest, recharge, and heal” mode.
This is the missing piece that allows all those healthy habits—good nutrition, sleep routines, exercise—to finally work again.
