Bradley Hilton, a father and financial planner, shares his family's journey in helping their daughter overcome developmental challenges. After noticing differences in their child's behavior post-pandemic, Bradley and his wife sought help. They eventually found Dr. Laura Hansen at Connect My Brain, who offered a unique approach to addressing their daughter's needs. In their very first session, they saw a breakthrough - their 4.5-year-old daughter suddenly became potty trained, a milestone they had been struggling with for months.

The path to improvement wasn't easy, though. Bradley describes the intense commitment required - daily exercises, dietary changes, and a complete lifestyle overhaul for the whole family. He emphasizes that while it was overwhelming at times, the results were worth it. Bradley encourages other parents, especially fathers, to be open to recognizing potential issues in their children's development and to seek help without trying to "fix" everything themselves.

Dr. Laura Hansen stresses the importance of early intervention, explaining that there are crucial developmental windows in a child's life. She discusses how various factors, from prenatal health to gut bacteria, can impact a child's brain development. However, she reassures listeners that it's never too late to make positive changes.
