The Natural Calm Protocol Every Parent Should Know
What I teach families in my practice to reduce meltdowns, improve focus, and bring peace back home to over 9 out of 10 kids
The Calm Child Protocol That Helps 9 Out of 10 Kids Find Their Balance
If you’ve ever felt helpless watching your child spiral into a meltdown — the screaming, the tears, the exhaustion afterward — you’re not alone. Emotional dysregulation is one of the most common (and misunderstood) struggles I see in my practice.
The good news? Calm can be taught — and it starts with supporting the body as much as the mind.
Here’s what I cover inside the full Calm Child Protocol (available for subscribers):
The hidden biological roots of meltdowns — and how gut health, sleep, and stress hormones all play a role
The “calming plate” — foods that fuel focus and regulate blood sugar (plus the sneaky snacks that trigger chaos)
My tiered supplement approach and the supplement trio that helps 9 out of 10 kids feel calmer and more grounded — and how to use them safely
Why skipping breakfast or eating too much sugar can look like ADHD — and how to fix it fast
The bedtime rhythm that resets the nervous system overnight
My go-to sensory and breathing tools that calm the body in minutes — no screens, no bribes, no battles
This is the same framework I use in clinic to help kids go from overwhelmed to regulated — naturally, without labels or meds as the first line.
