In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the number one challenge facing families today: exhaustion, chronic fatigue, and burnout. He explains the three stages of subluxation—the root cause behind why families feel "wound up and worn out at the same time." Dr. Tony reveals how stress during pregnancy, birth interventions, and sympathetic nervous system dominance create a cascade effect that leads to everything from infant colic to ADHD in children, and adrenal fatigue to autoimmune disorders in parents. Most importantly, he explains how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can address the root cause rather than just masking symptoms, helping families get their energy, focus, and health back online. This episode provides hope and actionable insights for families struggling with chronic exhaustion and health challenges.-----Links & ResourcesFree Resource: The Roadmap to Chronic Stress & Exhaustion: The 3 Stages of SubluxationEnter the Podcast Giveaway and Win Free Prizes on Facebook or Instagram----Key Topics & Timestamps(00:03:00) - Wound Up and Worn Out: Understanding the Problem(00:05:00) - How Pregnancy and Birth Stress Affect Baby's Nervous System(00:07:00) - Stage One: Sympathetic Dominance and the Vagus Nerve(00:09:00) - Stage Two: Neurological Disorganization and Developmental Delays(00:11:00) - Stage Three: Chronic Health Challenges and System Shutdown(00:12:00) - The Root Cause Solution: Neurologically Focused Chiropractic Care-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the five key signs that your child's nervous system may be stuck in fight or flight mode. He explains how nervous system dysregulation shows up in the most basic life functions—eating, sleeping, breathing, and moving—and why these "neurological soft signs" often get misdiagnosed as food intolerances, allergies, or behavioral issues. Dr. Tony walks parents through what to look for at every age, from infants struggling to latch and soothe, to older kids dealing with anxiety, meltdowns, and sensory challenges. He also shares his top drug-free strategies for calming a dysregulated nervous system, including the power of getting outside, protecting bedtime routines, and the often-overlooked importance of parent co-regulation.-----Links & Resources:Enter the Podcast Giveaway and Win Free Prizes on Facebook or Instagram-----Key Topics & Timestamps(00:06:00) - The Neurological Soft Signs: Where dysregulation shows up first(00:07:00) - The Core Four: Eating, sleeping, breathing, and moving(00:14:00) - Breathing patterns and the gut-brain-immune connection(00:20:00) - Posture, motor tone, and sensory processing red flags(00:23:00) - Emotional Signs: Anxiety, meltdowns, and behavioral challenges(00:25:00) - How to Test For it: The INSiGHT Scans(00:27:00) - Dr. Tony's top tips for calming a dysregulated nervous system(00:30:00) - The Hidden Solution: Co-regulation starts with you-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses retained primitive reflexes and their role in neurodevelopmental disorders. He challenges the common perception that retained primitive reflexes are a primary root cause of issues like autism and ADHD. Instead, Dr. Ebel argues that retained reflexes are a secondary or tertiary symptom of underlying nervous system dysfunction, specifically sympathetic dominance and subluxation. He emphasizes the importance of addressing these root causes through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care before pursuing other interventions.-----Key Timestamps:[00:02:00] - Overview of retained primitive reflexes and their perceived importance[00:05:00] - Dr. Ebel's background in functional neurology training[00:08:00] - Explanation of the "perfect storm" concept in neurodevelopmental disorders[00:11:00] - Dr. Ebel's experience with functional neurology and its limitations[00:14:00] - Discussion on the potential negative effects of focusing solely on primitive reflexes[00:16:00] - The sequence of neurological dysfunction and its relation to retained reflexes[00:22:00] - The importance of neurologically focused chiropractic care as a first intervention[00:25:00] - The three R's of neurological healing: Release, Rebuild, Restore[00:28:00] - Explanation of neurological stability and its importance[00:30:00] - The role of other therapies (PT, OT, speech) after achieving neurological stability[00:32:00] - Why addressing nervous system dysfunction can improve the effectiveness of other interventions-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most concerning issues in pediatric healthcare: the unnecessary prescription of antibiotics to children. With 30% of antibiotics prescribed to kids being unnecessary (according to CDC research), Dr. Tony breaks down the real consequences this has on children's long-term health. He explains how antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiome, nervous system, and immune function, leading to increased risks of asthma, allergies, ADHD, and anxiety. Most importantly, he reveals that the majority of ear, sinus, and respiratory infections are viral—not bacterial—meaning antibiotics don't even help. Dr. Tony explores the root cause of these infections (poor nervous system function and drainage), and how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care addresses the actual problem rather than masking symptoms.Key Topics & Timestamps[00:01:00] The shocking truth: 30% of antibiotics prescribed to kids are unnecessary[00:04:00] The pediatrician paradox: 85% agree on wait-and-see, but only 33% follow it[00:06:00] How antibiotics disrupt the gut-brain connection and microbiome[00:08:00] Understanding the vagus nerve: the most important nerve in the body[00:10:00] The root cause revealed: respiratory infections are really a "plumbing problem"[00:12:00] Dr. Tony's personal story: four kids, zero antibiotics, zero ear infections-- Register for the FREE 'Calming The Sensory Storm' Webinar HERE Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel reveals why the vagus nerve is the key to unlocking autism healing and recovery. He explains how this critical nerve—controlling digestion, immune function, speech, and social-emotional connection—is often injured during birth trauma, the "moonwalking bear" that conventional medicine overlooks. Dr. Tony demonstrates why children with autism need deeper, foundational nervous system repair through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, beyond surface-level interventions like breathing exercises or supplements alone. Packed with neuroscience and practical insights, this episode provides hope and actionable steps for families seeking transformational healing.-----Links & ResourcesTake advantage of the Black Friday sale and get the full autism summit for $29HERE-----Key Timestamps:(6:00) Fight or Flight: A Simple Way to Understand the Vagus Nerve(12:00) The Most Important Nerve for Your Child's Healing and Regulation(14:00) Birth Stress: The Missing Piece Most Parents Aren't Told About(17:00) How the Vagus Nerve Impacts Sensory Processing and Communication(26:00) Practical Ways to Help Activate and Support the Vagus Nerve(38:00) How INSiGHT Scans Reveal Vagus Nerve and Nervous System Stress(47:00) Real Progress: What Happens When the Vagus Nerve Starts Healing -- Register for the FREE 'Calming The Sensory Storm' Webinar HERE Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this groundbreaking conversation, Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Dr. Dana Johnson, co-founder of the Spellers Center and a leading expert on whole-body apraxia. Dr. Johnson shares her transformative journey from traditional sensory integration therapy to discovering the missing piece: the connection between intention and motor execution. This episode explores how whole body apraxia—the breakdown in our ability to sequence, plan, and execute movement—is the foundational issue underlying challenges in autism, including meltdowns, speech delays, and behavioral dysregulation. The doctors discuss why addressing motor planning must come before gut protocols or behavioral interventions, and how the "perfect storm" of maternal stress, birth trauma, and toxins disrupts early neuromotor development.-----Links & Resources:Follow Dr. Dana Johnson on socials:IG: @drdanajohnsonYouTube: @drdanajohnsonX: @drdanajohnsonFB: Dana Johnson-----Key Topics & Timestamps[00:06:00] How non-speaking communicators revealed the missing connection between intention and action[00:14:00] Why everyone focuses on gut-brain connection instead of motor-brain connection[00:18:00] The Three Stages - From hyperactive "raging bull" to clumsy "drunken bull" to complete shutdown and exhaustion[00:21:00] The Perfect Storm - Maternal distress, birth trauma, and toxins as the three-part storm disrupting neuromotor development[00:29:00] Why watching a child move from car to clinic reveals everything about their motor planning[00:42:00] The three stages of nervous system dysregulation in severe cases[00:54:00] The 90-Day Pause - When to stop all other interventions to clear neurological space for healing[00:59:00] Powerful story of an adult client and his mother becoming comfortable together for the first time -- Register for the FREE 'Calming The Sensory Storm' Webinar HERE Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses one of the biggest challenges for families with autistic children: sleep difficulties. Rather than offering typical sleep tips, he explores the neurological root causes of sleep disturbances. Dr. Tony explains that children stuck in fight-or-flight mode cannot physically relax enough to fall asleep or achieve restorative sleep. He emphasizes a two-step approach: first, release physical tension from the neurosensory motor system through adjustments and bodywork; second, address gut health through diet and supplements. Clinical data shows 85-90% of patients experience sleep improvements within the first two months of neurologically focused care. The key message: fix the body first, then the gut, and sleep will naturally improve—leading to healing and development.-----Links & Resources:Free article on Food IntoleranceRegister for the FREE 'Calming The Sensory Storm' Webinar HERE-----Key Topics & Timestamps([00:03:00]) - Beyond Sleep Hacks: The Neurological Lens - Why traditional sleep tips aren't enough and understanding nervous system dysfunction as the root cause.([00:08:00]) - The Body Cannot Relax - How physical tension and subluxation keep children stuck in fight-or-flight mode, preventing sleep.([00:13:00]) - The 85-90% Success Rate - Clinical evidence showing sleep improves first with neurologically focused care.([00:18:00]) - How the Gut Disrupts Sleep - Understanding the gut-brain connection and how digestive issues keep children awake at night.([00:23:00]) - The Right Order: Body First, Then Gut - Why addressing physical tension must come before expensive testing and supplement protocols.([00:27:00]) - Real Parenting: Protecting Bedtime - Dr. Tony's personal approach to prioritizing early, consistent sleep schedules over social events.([00:31:00]) - The Melatonin Warning - Why melatonin should be a last resort and the risks of dependency. -- Register for the FREE 'Calming The Sensory Storm' Webinar HERE Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Dr. Tony Ebel reveals the critical difference between nervous system REPAIR and nervous system REGULATION—and why getting the order right changes everything. While tools like breathwork, craniosacral therapy, and neurofeedback are trending, they can't work effectively until foundational trauma is addressed first. He explains how physical, chemical, and emotional stress gets locked into the body through subluxation, creating sympathetic dominance that blocks healing. This episode provides a roadmap for sequencing your healing journey correctly, knowing when you're ready for regulation tools, and why some families need years of foundational chiropractic care before other interventions will stick. If you've tried everything and feel stuck, this is your answer.----Links & ResourcesPrevious episode: Time & Talking Doesn't Heal Trauma..

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the truth about autism — why cases have skyrocketed, what's really behind it, and most importantly, what parents can do to help their child thrive.He explains how autism isn't genetically predetermined but develops from a “perfect storm” of stressors that overwhelm the nervous system — from birth trauma and toxins to prenatal stress. A key focus is the vagus nerve, which connects the brain to every organ system and often gets injured during birth, leading to inflammation, stress overload, and developmental delays.The good news: when the nervous system is restored and regulated through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic care, kids can unlock their potential. Parents will leave this episode with clarity, confidence, and hope for healing.------Links & Resources:Free educational articles/resources about autism here.Dive into the PX Docs Autism Summit where 7 expert providers who have been in the trenches with autism families present about what's working best right now to help your child thrive!Learn more & get instant access here.------Key Topics Covered:3:07 – Why autism rates have risen from 1 in 3,500 to 1 in 36 children5:38 – Genetics: predisposition vs. predetermination7:27 – The “perfect storm” of stressors leading to autism18:33 – The “Three T's” of toxins, traumas, and thoughts32:55 – How birth trauma impacts the vagus nerve48:35 – What happens when the nervous system gets stuck in “stress mode”56:25 – Why Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic care is often the missing ------Relevant ResearchA Review on the Vagus Nerve and Autonomic Nervous System During Fetal DevelopmentIncidence of Pre-, Peri-, and Post-Natal Birth and Developmental Problems of Children with Sensory Processing Disorder and Children with Autism Spectrum Association of Cesarean Delivery With Risk of Neurodevelopmental and Psychiatric Disorders in the OffspringIncreased Risk of Autism Development in Children Whose Mothers Experienced Birth Complications or Received Labor and Delivery DrugsIncidence of Somatic Dysfunction in Healthy NewbornsAssociation Between Obstetric Mode of Delivery and Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Population-Based Sibling Design StudyThe Cerebellum, Sensitive Periods, and Autism-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this Q&A episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel dives deep into why crawling matters so much for child development and why the CDC's 2022 decision to remove it from developmental milestones was a critical mistake. He explains the neuroscience behind crawling, how it wires the brain for everything from motor coordination to cognitive function, and why skipping crawling can lead to issues like ADHD, sensory processing disorders, and emotional dysregulation later on. Dr. Tony introduces the concept of "stanky leg" crawling (asymmetrical crawling patterns) and explains how subluxations can cause compensatory movement patterns that affect overall brain development. He emphasizes the importance of getting children's nervous systems checked and adjusted to restore proper developmental sequencing.Key Topics & Timestamps([00:02:00]) - The "Stanky Leg" Crawling - Introduction of asymmetrical crawling patterns and why they matter for development.([00:04:00]) - CDC Removes Crawling from Milestones - How the CDC removed crawling from developmental posters in 2022 despite its brain-wiring importance.([00:07:00]) - Get Out of the Medical System - Dr. Tony's "cheat code" for keeping kids healthy by avoiding traditional medical approaches.([00:11:00]) - Subluxation and Motor Dysfunction - Detailed explanation of how subluxations affect crawling ability and brain coordination.([00:16:00]) - Brain Compensation Patterns - How children's brains develop compensatory patterns when proper crawling sequences are disrupted.([00:18:00]) - Raging Bulls vs. Drunken Bulls - Clinical patterns in children who skip crawling: hyperactive vs. inattentive/uncoordinated presentations.([00:24:00]) - Reorganizational Healing - How children spontaneously return to crawling patterns when their nervous systems are properly restored.-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Dr. Tony Ebel interviews Jordan Rubin about his new book, "The Biblio Diet" co-authored with Dr. Josh Axe. This groundbreaking conversation challenges conventional dietary restrictions that overwhelm families with neurodivergent children. Rubin presents biblical principles for eating that contradict modern health advice, arguing that grains, dairy, and red meat can be healing foods when consumed in their proper form. The discussion covers the difference between industrially processed foods versus traditionally prepared versions, emphasizing that God's original design for food and our nervous systems work together for optimal health. Rather than endless restrictions, the Biblio Diet offers families a simpler, more sustainable approach to nutrition rooted in biblical wisdom.-----Links & Resources:Download your free chapter of The Biblio Diet at: www.thebibliodiet.comBuy the full book 'The Biblio Diet' by Jordan Rubin and Dr. Josh Axe anywhere books are sold.Follow Jordan on Socials: Instagram: @jordansrubinFacebook: @Jordan-RubinX: @realjordanrubinTikTok: @jordanrubinLinkedIn: @jordanrubin----Key Topics & Timestamps([00:02:00]) - Core Message: Grains, Dairy & Red Meat Rock Revolutionary claim that these commonly avoided foods can be healing when consumed properly([00:09:00]) - Origin Story: From Paleo to Biblio How the concept emerged 12-14 years ago from critiquing evolutionary-based diets([00:21:00]) - King Solomon's Daily Diet Biblical analysis of the wisest man's eating habits: grass-fed meat and bread([00:24:00]) - Sourdough Bread Solutions Practical advice on finding healthy, traditionally fermented bread that even celiacs can tolerate([00:28:00]) - Form and Function Philosophy Connecting proper food forms with nervous system function for optimal healing([00:33:00]) - Dairy Deep Dive Jordan's personal healing story using copious amounts of the right kind of dairy([00:35:00]) - A1 vs A2 Dairy Explanation The critical difference between harmful A1 and beneficial A2 dairy proteins([00:44:00]) - Book Access and Biblical Food Restrictions Getting "The Biblio Diet" plus discussion of avoiding pork and shellfish([00:50:00]) - Closing Encouragement Final thoughts on experiencing health miracles through biblical nutrition-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles a common parent question: "My child has autism/ADHD, but didn't have birth trauma - why?"Dr. Ebel explains that while 90-95% of his cases involve clear trauma triggers, the remaining cases show the same nervous system dysfunction from subtler causes. He outlines the "Three T's" of stress (Trauma, Toxins, Thoughts) and how minor stressors during key developmental periods can accumulate into neurological challenges. Modern children face unprecedented stress levels - from prenatal maternal stress to environmental toxins, EMF exposure, medications, and overstimulating environments. All these factors lead to the same outcome: sympathetic nervous system dominance and dysregulation.The encouraging news? Cases without obvious trauma often heal "faster, better, cleaner" since less severe stress is easier to reverse. The focus should be on addressing nervous system dysfunction through neurologically focused, drug-free care rather than just managing the diagnosis.Key Topics & Timestamps([00:01:00]) - The Question That Puzzles Parents - Introduction to autism/ADHD without obvious birth trauma([00:04:00]) - Same Nervous System, Different Triggers - How all neurological conditions show the same underlying dysfunction([00:05:00]) - The Three T's Explained - Breaking down Trauma, Toxins, and Thoughts as stress categories([00:07:00]) - Hidden Modern Stressors - The subtle but pervasive stress of modern life that gets normalized([00:10:00]) - The Most Toxic Generation - Living in the highest stress, toxic-load world in human history([00:15:00]) - Critical Development Windows - Why early stress has profound impact on developing nervous systems([00:17:00]) - The Real Action Step - Focusing on nervous system regulation rather than treating diagnoses([00:19:00]) - The Silver Lining - Why cases without obvious trauma may actually heal better-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Dr. Tony Ebel addresses one of the most common challenges facing families with chronically ill children: healing interventions overload. Many parents are managing multiple therapies, dozens of supplements, and restrictive diets while feeling like nothing works and their child remains stuck or regresses.Dr. Tony reveals the counterintuitive truth that the most advanced healing approach is "less is more." He explains how well-intentioned interventions can overwhelm a child's already stressed nervous system. The solution is a three-phase approach: Phase 1 focuses exclusively on foundational Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, Phase 2 gradually reintroduces therapies, and Phase 3 is where breakthrough healing occurs. The key message: healing comes from proper sequencing and the child's innate ability, not from piling on more interventions.Key Topics & Timestamps([00:00:00]) - The Overload Crisis - How millions of parents are overwhelmed managing multiple interventions without seeing results([00:04:00]) - When Good Interventions Go Bad - Why overwhelmed nervous systems cause children to plateau or regress despite "doing everything right"([00:09:00]) - Less Is More Philosophy - The advanced approach prioritizes foundation and sequencing over doing everything at once([00:11:00]) - The Computer & Circuit Breaker Analogies - Relatable explanations of how nervous system overload works([00:15:00]) - The Energy Theft Hierarchy - Scientific breakdown of how stress systematically affects gut, immune, and motor systems([00:21:00]) - The Three-Phase Action Plan - Foundation first (Phase 1), gradual reintroduction (Phase 2), breakthrough healing (Phase 3)([00:28:00]) - The Patience Factor & Next Steps - Honest discussion about the difficulty of slowing down and practical guidance for getting started-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this episode of Ask Dr. Tony, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the modern understanding of subluxation and how it affects children's neurological development. Moving beyond the outdated "pinched nerve" theory, Dr. Tony explains how subluxation is actually a sensory input problem that creates "noisy brain syndrome" in children with autism, ADHD, and anxiety. He reveals why the brain itself is typically fine in these children - it's getting bad information due to fixation and reduced proprioception from spinal misalignment. Dr. Tony emphasizes that the neuromotor system's input is more crucial to brain function than gut health, challenging common assumptions about childhood developmental challenges. This episode provides hope for parents by explaining that their children's brains have all the necessary components to heal and function properly once the interference is addressed.-----Links & Resources:For a deeper understanding of subluxation and its effect on children's health: Read this article-----Key Topics & Timestamps([00:01:00]) - The Sequence of Subluxation: From Physical Trauma to Misalignment([00:02:00]) - Old vs. New Theory: Moving Beyond the "Pinched Nerve" Model([00:04:00]) - The Real Issue: Subluxation as a Sensory Input Problem([00:05:00]) - Hope for Parents: The Brain is Fine, It's Just Getting Bad Information([00:06:00]) - Noisy Brain Syndrome: Why Kids Can't Hear Instructions-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this comprehensive deep dive, Dr. Tony Ebel explores groundbreaking research on decreased synaptic density in autism and reveals why the answers to autism don't lie in the brain alone. Drawing from a Princeton/Harvard study using PET scans, Dr. Ebel explains how autism actually begins in the body's neuromotor system and manifests in the brain. He breaks down complex neurological concepts into understandable terms, explaining the three-step nervous system process (input, integration, output) and introducing critical terms like subluxation, dyskinesia, and dysafferentation. This episode challenges the traditional medical approach to autism and presents a revolutionary understanding of how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can stimulate neuroplasticity and build the missing synaptic bridges in autistic brains.

Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the real root causes of developmental delays that go far beyond what traditional pediatricians and even most early intervention specialists address. He reveals that one in six children face developmental delays, often triggered by what he calls "the perfect storm" - a combination of early life stressors including pregnancy stress and birth interventions. Dr. Ebel explains how children get stuck in "fight or flight" mode instead of growth and development mode, affecting everything from motor skills to speech, behavior, and social development.

Dr. Tony Ebel reveals the deeper truth about neuroinflammation in children with autism, ADHD, epilepsy, and other chronic health challenges. While diet changes, detoxes, and supplements target inflammation at the surface level, the real on-off switch to neuroinflammation lies much deeper—in the vagus nerve.
