Numbness is not just your limb falling asleep; it is a warning sign from your nervous system that communication has been cut off.

In Episode 357 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss break down one of the most common yet ignored symptoms in healthcare: Numbness. Whether it is tingling in your hands at night, facial paralysis scares, or the burning sensation of sciatica, these are red flags of nerve compression. We discuss why masking these symptoms with cortisone shots or anti-inflammatories often leads to further injury and why athletes would rather feel pain than nothing at all.

Dr. Skip explains the anatomy of the neck and lower back to show exactly where the "kink in the hose" occurs and why treating the wrist for hand numbness often misses the root cause in the spine.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

• Facial Numbness: How to distinguish between a stroke, Bell's Palsy, and an upper cervical subluxation.

• The Cortisone Trap: Why injections only reduce inflammation temporarily but do not fix the mechanical pressure on the nerve.

• Hand Numbness: Why tingling hands at night is often a neck alignment issue (C4-T1), not just a mattress problem.

• Sciatica and Foot Drop: The specific signs of disc herniation and when you need to seek immediate medical attention.

• Raynauds Phenomenon: Why cold, white fingers are actually a nervous system regulation issue.

• Pain vs. Numbness: Why pain is a helpful communicator and numbness is dangerous for injury prevention.

Do you believe it takes 21 days to break a habit? Neurologically, that is a myth.

In Episode 356 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss explain why you cannot simply "think" your way out of chronic stress, anxiety, or poor posture. While most people try to use mental willpower to change their lives, true habits are neurological, not just mental. If your nervous system is stuck in a survival pattern (fight or flight), no amount of positive thinking will override that biological programming.

We dive deep into how these patterns start—often as early as birth or in the womb—and discuss the impact of retained primitive reflexes like the Moro Reflex. Dr. Skip explains why "survival mode" prevents brain growth and how physical intervention (chiropractic care) is often the missing link to resetting the body's communication system.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• The 21-Day Myth: Why neurological reprogramming takes years, not weeks.

• Mental vs. Neurological: Why willpower fails when your body is physically stuck in survival mode.

• Visual Diagnostics: How to spot nerve interference in your kids (asymmetry, acne spots, posture).

• The Moro Reflex: Why an infant startle reflex can cause anxiety in adults if not integrated.

• The Marathon Trap: Why extreme endurance exercise might be keeping you in a stress state.

• Pregnancy & Pediatrics: Why early checks are essential for developmental milestones.

Why Millionaires Are Jealous of YOU: The Truth About Time vs. Money | Ep. 355

Do you feel guilty when you aren't "busy"? You might be chasing a version of success that even millionaires regret.

In Episode 355 of the Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies return from an unplanned break to discuss a powerful realization: Time is the only currency you can't earn back.

After a trip to Nevada and a conversation with a retired mentor, Dr. Skip reveals a shocking truth—wealthy influencers with millions of dollars are actually jealous of you. Why? Because while they have money, they often lack control over their own calendars. We dive deep into the addiction to "busyness," why working a second job for an extra $50 might be costing you your family, and how to reclaim your freedom.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• The "Busyness" Trap: Why we feel guilty when we rest and how to break the addiction to constant productivity.

• The Millionaire Paradox: Why the wealthy are often chasing "time freedom" while the middle class chases money.

• Health & Immunity: Why getting sick is actually a necessary "workout" for your nervous system.

• Fix Your Sundays: How to stop the "Sunday Scaries" and use the weekend to actually recharge.

• God's Wake-Up Call: How negative reinforcement (loss, sickness, stress) forces us to pay attention to what actually matters.

• Connection > Cost: Why a $1.50 hot dog trip to Costco with your teen can be more valuable than a luxury vacation.
