The back-to-school excitement has worn off and that’s often when the real signs start to show. A few things worth paying attention to:

👉🏻 A mood or behavior shift. New irritability, withdrawal, anxiety, or trouble sleeping for more than a couple weeks.

🥗 Changes in appetite, weight, or energy, especially if it’s a noticeable shift from their normal.

🤕 Recurring headaches or stomachaches, especially on school mornings.

đź“ť Dreading school, going quiet about their day, or pulling back from friends.

⛹️‍♀️ Losing a skill they already had, or stepping back from things they used to enjoy.

🌡️ Getting sick more often, or staying sick longer than usual

You don’t have to wait for the next annual visit to get answers. If something feels off, it’s always okay to reach out. That’s exactly what Rebecca Valadao, our nurse practitioner, is here for. From newborns through the teen years (and every stage of women’s health in between), she offers relationship-based, integrative care whenever your family needs it.

Call Advanced Collective, we’re accepting new patients and same-week appointments for concerns just like these.

Is this normal? If you’re a parent, you’ve probably asked yourself that question more times than you can count. About sleep, moods, picky eating, growth spurts, or the hundred other things that come up between ages 5 and 17.

Rebecca Valadao offers ongoing, whole-child care for school-age kids and teens right here in Waukee. The kind of care where you’re not starting from scratch every time something comes up. She gets to know your child and your family, so when a question or concern pops up, you already have someone in your corner.

From everyday things like sleep and nutrition to the bigger conversations around puberty, mood, and growing independence, she partners with parents through it all.

If you’ve been wanting a provider who actually has time to talk things through with you, call our office at 515-987-1290 to get on her schedule.

Ever leave a doctor's appointment feeling like your concerns got a "your labs are normal" and nothing else?

If you've been dealing with fatigue that sleep doesn't fix, stubborn weight changes, thyroid or hormone symptoms that keep getting brushed off, or you're just trying to feel like yourself again through a new stage of life. Rebecca Valadao is now taking patients at our Waukee office, and this is exactly the kind of care she specializes in.

She takes the time to actually dig into what's going on instead of rushing to a quick fix, and builds a plan around your goals, not just a diagnosis.

If that sounds like what you've been looking for, call our office at 515-987-1290 and we'll help you get on her schedule.

Pregnancy asks a lot of your body. Chiropractic care can help.

Whether it’s easing the aches that show up around week 20, or helping your body get into a better position for delivery, prenatal adjustments are one of the most underrated tools for a smoother nine months.

Caring for a newborn is a responsibility we never take lightly.

We’ve been so grateful this year for the growing number of newborns trusting us with their care. It’s one of the most meaningful parts of what we do. It’s not just about the baby, it’s about the whole family. A calmer, more comfortable baby often means everyone finally gets some rest.

These are the newest, smallest members of our community, and getting to help them feel their best from day one is something we’ll never stop being grateful for.

Women’s health shouldn’t feel like a guessing game.

Hormones that feel off. Postpartum recovery that’s taking longer than anyone told you it would. So often these get brushed aside as “just part of being a woman” but common doesn’t mean you have to just live with it.

Rebecca Valadao, ARNP, CNM, FNP-C brings over a decade of experience in women’s health, hormone and thyroid support, and postpartum care to Advanced Collective. Her approach is relationship-based and focused on actually getting to the root of what’s going on, not just managing symptoms.

If something’s felt off and you haven’t had the space to ask about it, that’s exactly what she’s here for. Give us a call to get on her schedule - 515-987-1290.

Back to school isn’t just a schedule change for kids, it’s a full nervous system adjustment.

New routines, new social dynamics, sitting still for hours, heavier backpacks throwing off posture... it adds up fast, even if they can’t put words to it yet.

This is where pediatric chiropractic care comes in. Gentle adjustments help support a regulated nervous system, better sleep, and improved focus, all things that matter a lot during those first few weeks back in the classroom.

It’s not about “fixing” anything. It’s about giving their body one less thing to fight against while their brain is already working overtime to adjust.

If your kid’s had a rough transition back this year (more meltdowns, trouble sleeping, complaining about headaches or backaches) it might be worth a conversation. We’ll walk you through what a first visit for a child actually looks like, no pressure, just information.

Rebecca is now seeing patients!

She’s not just filling a gap, she’s opening up an entirely new kind of care here. Annual check-ups and sick visits, newborn and pediatric care, women’s health, hormone and thyroid support, postpartum support, everyday primary care; all in the same place you already trust for chiropractic and acupuncture.

Her background is rare: both a Certified Nurse-Midwife and Family Nurse Practitioner, with years spent caring for women and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and every stage after. That means whole-body, whole-family care from someone who’s walked alongside moms and kids through it all.

If you’ve been juggling five different providers for five different needs, this is your sign there’s a simpler way.

Call our office at 515-987-1290 to book with Rebecca.
