The Bridge – February 2026 Session

The Atlas Connection:

Understanding Stress and the Brain Body Relationship

Live Q & A with Dr. Christa D’Amato, B.S., D.C., B.C.A.O.

Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor | Co-Founder of Yangseed Planet

Tuesday, February 10th at 7:30 PM EST

📩 Register by Saturday, February 7th for the opportunity to submit your questions to be answered live.

Join us for a powerful and informative Bridge session exploring the deep connection between stress, the nervous system, and spinal alignment, with a special focus on the atlas bone (C1 vertebra); the critical link between the brain and body.

In this live Q&A, Dr. Christa D’Amato will break down how chronic stress impacts the nervous system, pulling the body into fight-or-flight, and how proper upper-cervical alignment can support a return to balance, regulation, and resilience. She will explore how the atlas influences brain-body communication, posture, circulation, gut health, cognitive clarity, and overall well-being.

Together, we’ll discuss:

• How stress impacts the nervous system and overall brain–body communication

• Why spinal and atlas bone alignment play a role in posture, regulation, and whole-body function

• Practical insights and everyday strategies to support balance, resilience, and well-being

This session is designed to be interactive and accessible, giving you the opportunity to ask your questions directly and gain practical insights you can apply in daily life.

This is an ideal session for parents, professionals, caregivers, and anyone interested in understanding how stress, structure, and nervous system health are deeply interconnected.
