CLA Insight Scans and Why They Are a Game Changer for Your Health

If you’ve been searching for answers… this is where we start

If you’ve ever felt like something is off, in your child, or even in your own body,
but no one has been able to clearly explain why

you’re not alone.

And more importantly…
you’re not wrong for wanting more answers.

Because the truth is, most healthcare looks at symptoms.

But symptoms are only part of the story.

At Vive, we look at the nervous system, because that’s what controls everything.

And this is exactly why CLA Insight Scans are such a game changer.

What are CLA Insight Scans?

CLA Insight Scans are a set of advanced, non-invasive scans that allow us to measure how your nervous system is functioning.

Instead of guessing based on how you feel, we can actually see:

  • How your body is handling stress

  • Where stress is stuck

  • How your body is compensating

  • And how well your system can adapt and recover

We use three specific scans to get the full picture:
👉HRV (adaptability)
👉 Thermal (stress patterns)
👉 EMG (tension + muscle activity)

Each one gives us a different piece of the puzzle.

Together, they tell a story.

Most people are told:

  • “They’ll grow out of it”

  • “Everything looks normal”

  • “It’s just stress”

But what’s often missing is this:

No one is measuring how the nervous system is actually functioning.

And that matters… because the nervous system is the control center of the body.

It controls:

  • sleep

  • digestion

  • behavior

  • focus

  • immune function

  • healing

So, when the nervous system is stuck in stress mode, the body doesn’t function the way it’s designed to.

And that’s when we start to see things like:

  • kids who can’t regulate emotions

  • adults who feel constantly overwhelmed

  • sleep issues

  • chronic tension

  • focus and sensory challenges

Not because the body is broken…

But because it’s overwhelmed.

What makes these scans so powerful

The biggest shift for families isn’t just the information.

It’s the clarity.

This is the moment where parents say:

“That finally makes sense.”

Because instead of guessing,
we can actually see what’s going on.

And from there, we can create a care plan that is:

  • personalized

  • specific

  • and based on real data

Not a one-size-fits-all approach.

We don’t just scan once, we track progress

This is one of the most important parts.

We don’t just use these scans at the beginning.

We use them throughout care to track how the nervous system is changing over time.

Because as the body becomes more regulated, we expect to see:

✔️ Better adaptability to stress
✔️ More balanced stress patterns
✔️ Less tension in the body

This is how we know care is working.

Not just by how you feel (although that matters)…
but by what we can actually measure.

For your child. For you. For your whole family.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that this is “just for kids.”

But the truth is:

We scan babies, kids, moms, dads…everyone.

Because everyone has a nervous system.

And everyone deserves to:

  • feel better

  • function better

  • and actually, understand what’s going on in their body

Your body isn’t broken.

It’s incredibly smart.

It just needs the right support at the right time.

And that’s exactly where we start.

Love, Dr. Leah


Hi, I’m Dr. Leah, pediatric, prenatal and family chiropractor, sensory kid turned nervous system expert, and mama to three busy boys I adore. I grew up right here in Jefferson, Iowa… and now I get to raise my own family in the same small town I’ve always loved.
I was a colicky baby myself, the kind who couldn’t be soothed easily and that turned into a sensory-seeking, strong-willed kiddo who really needed her socks just right. So when you walk through my doors feeling overwhelmed because your child will only wears one shirt or always has “talks a lot” written on their report card… I get it.
I’ve been that child. And now I get to be the doctor who helps those kids thrive. After graduating from Iowa State, I earned my Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer West in San Jose, California, but Iowa was always home, so back home I came ready to serve the families in the Greene County area.
I’m married to my farmer husband Cody, which means I’ve solo-parented through my fair share of planting and harvest seasons. I’m in the thick of balancing sports schedules, school drop-offs, tech limits, picky eating, and trying to get a decent night's sleep just like the rest of you.
At Vive, I bring all of that, my education, my experience, and my motherhood, into every conversation. You won’t just be heard here, you’ll be understood.

I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story,
and walk this journey with your family.
