    190. Q&A | Preemie & NICU Babies: Why Development Isn’t About the Calendar

    In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses one of the most emotionally loaded questions he receives: what happens to premature and NICU babies long-term — and what can families do about it? Drawing from both his clinical expertise and his deeply personal experience with his own son Oliver, Dr. Tony walks parents through the neuroscience of why NICU babies get stuck in survival mode, what steroids, vaccines, and medical interventions do to an already-stressed nervous system, and — most importantly — the drug-free, nervous-system-focused path to healing. This episode is equal parts heart, science, and actionable strategy for any family navigating life before, during, or long after a NICU stay. ----- Links & Resources How to Best Advocate for Your Child in Medical Decision Making (And High Stress Hospital Visits) [Apple/Spotify] Free Articles on Developmental Delays: https://pxdocs.com/developmental-delays/ ----- Key Topics & Timestamps 00:00 Introduction & What This Episode Covers  05:00 Why He Left the Statistics Out — And Why That Matters for You  08:00 The Three-Factor Perfect Storm Explained  11:00 Oliver's Story: Six Weeks, Two NICUs, Fighting for Every Decision  17:00 The Neuroscience of Fetal Development & the Vagus Nerve  27:00 Why Physical Separation in the NICU Is Neurological Separation  33:00 Chiropractic Adjustments in the NICU: What Dr. Tony Did for Oliver  41:00 Steroids & Vaccines: The Nervous System Science Behind the Concern  47:00 Developmental Milestones: Birthday Age vs. Brain Development Age  55:00 The Four-Step Action Plan for Getting Your Child Out of the Storm  01:02:00 The Closing Truth: Healing Is Possible at Any Age -- 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.

    189. Forget Blood Work, Parents! In Just 10 Minutes Your Nervous System Will Tell You Answers

    Most parents are running on empty — and no amount of supplements, bloodwork, or health hacks is fixing it. In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel dedicates an entire conversation to parent health, revealing the number one missing test that conventional and functional medicine both overlook: HRV (Heart Rate Variability) testing. Dr. Tony breaks down the five zones of nervous system health, helps you identify exactly where you are, and gives you specific, actionable strategies for each zone — from the wound-up, hard-charging CrossFit parent all the way to the fully depleted, chronically ill parent in autonomic collapse. This episode is equal parts motivation and clinical roadmap. Your kids need you healthy. Here's how to get there. ----- Links & Resources: Learn more about HRV and the INSiGHT Scanning Technology HERE ----- Key Topics & Timestamps 1:00 Why your health directly impacts your child's healing  3:45 The problem with conventional AND functional medicine labs  7:00 What is HRV and why Dr. Tony runs it three different ways on himself  19:00 Why you must know your specific zone — different categories require different solutions  29:00 The five zones explained — from regulated green to full autonomic collapse  31:00 Zone One: The wound-up, sympathetic-dominant parent + action steps  45:00 Zone Two: Wound up AND worn out — anxiety, brain fog, hormonal chaos + action steps  51:30 Zones Three & Four: Neurological exhaustion and autonomic collapse explained  55:00 Action steps for Zone Three — gentle care, clearing your schedule, vagus nerve support  1:01:30 Zone Four: Deep shutdown, panic attacks, autoimmune stacking + action steps  1:09:00 Overtime: Wearables vs. clinical HRV — how to use both correctly -- 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.

    188. Q&A | Why Kids Grind Their Teeth, Breathe Through Their Mouth & Struggle With Sleep

    Teeth grinding in kids is more than a dental issue — it's a window into the nervous system. In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down why teeth grinding happens, why common interventions often don't stick, and what the correct sequence of care actually looks like. He explains how nervous system dysregulation and spinal subluxation are the true root cause, why structural fixes like palate expanders and mouth guards can only go so far without addressing the neurospinal system first, and how to know your child is genuinely getting better — not just temporarily improved. ----- Links & Resources Episode 71: Mouth Breathing Matters: The Impact of Airway Health on Your Child's Development [Apple/Spotify] ----- Key Topics & Timestamps 01:00 Sleep as the foundation: why teeth grinding is never just a teeth problem 02:30 Nervous system stress as the true root cause of teeth grinding 07:00 Why the jaw, palate, and airway are symptoms — not the source 08:30 Why myofunctional therapy and cranial work help but often don't last 11:00 Tone of the nervous system first, structure second, symptoms third 19:30 The three tiers of intervention and the sequence that actually works 32:00 Sleep as the #1 sign you're on the right track 33:30 Tracking real progress through Insight scans, EMG, and HRV -- 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.

    187. Pediatric Brain Injury: Why the Order of Healing Matters Most

    In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel brings his live presentation from the Making Connections Conference — hosted by Team Luke Hope for Minds in Austin, Texas — directly to the podcast community. Dr. Tony shares his personal journey as both a father and a neurologically-focused pediatric chiropractor, opening with his son Oliver's dramatic birth story and near-fatal hypoxic brain injury. From there, he teaches the foundational neuroscience behind why sequencing matters more than the number of interventions a child receives. He breaks down the neurological hierarchy — from brainstem to neuromotor to gut and immune systems — and explains why calming and reorganizing the nervous system must come first before other therapies can truly take hold. This episode is essential listening for any family navigating pediatric brain injury, complex neurological conditions, or chronic health challenges who feels overwhelmed by options and unsure where to start. ---- Links & Resources: Learn more about or donate to https://teamlukehopeforminds.org/ ---- Key Topics & Timestamps 05:00 Meet Dr. Tony: Faith, Family & a Team Fighting for Your Kids  11:00 Oliver's Story: The Birth Trauma That Changed Everything  19:00 What the Neurologists Called "Spontaneous Recovery"  27:00 When to Hit Pause: Clearing Room for Foundational Healing  29:00 The Neurological Hierarchy: How Brains Are Built and How They Heal  44:00 Subluxation, the Cascade & What a Chiropractic Adjustment Actually Does 53:00 Neurological Soft Signs: The Forgotten Trump Cards of Brain-Based Healing 56:00 Oliver on ECMO: Watching the Monitors Change in Real Time  1:00:00 Closing: The Combination Lock & A Word for Every Parent -- 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.

    186. Q&A | When Toe Walking Doesn't Go Away: Answers & Next Steps

    Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the real reason children walk on their toes — and why it has nothing to do with tight muscles. In this episode, he explains how toe walking is a signal of deeper nervous system dysfunction rooted in the brainstem and neurospinal system, not the feet. Dr. Tony walks parents through the key neurological concepts behind toe walking, why conventional treatments miss the mark, and how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care addresses the root cause. He also offers honest, reassuring guidance for parents of older children who are still toe-walking — reminding them that growth spurts, stress, and time are all part of the healing journey. ---- Links & Resources: Article: What is Subluxation? Article: What is Proprioception? ----- Key Topics & Timestamps 00:05 What you've been told about toe walking that isn't true 00:08 The four neurological root causes: subluxation, proprioception, whole body apraxia, and vestibular dysfunction 00:16 The wifi router analogy: sympathetic dominance, the posterior chain, and compensated gait 00:19 The nervous system bucket: how stress, trauma, and growth fill it up 00:25 Why Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care works when everything else hasn't 00:33 What actually changes in the body when nervous system regulation improves 00:34 Encouragement for parents of kids still toe walking — and what to do next -- 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.

    185. Why Your Body Reacts to Everything (An MCAS & Chronic Inflammation Deep Dive)

    In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel takes a deep dive into mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), chronic neuroinflammation, and why so many women and moms are struggling with these conditions. He breaks down why conventional and functional medicine approaches often fall short, reveals the hidden nervous system root cause that nearly everyone is missing, and walks through a three-stage progression — accumulation, dysregulation, and full mast cell activation — that explains how the storm builds over time. Most importantly, Dr. Tony lays out a clear, sequential path to healing that starts with the nervous system and the vagus nerve first, before layering in detoxification and other interventions. ---- Links & Resources: Trusted Clinic for Lyme's healing: https://erlandsonclinic.com/ Episode 178: Healing from Food Allergies & Sensitivities [Apple/Spotify] Article: Simple Ways to Support Your Child's Nervous System at Home PWC Intensive Program: https://premierwellnesschiro.com/the-perfect-storm/ ----- Key Topics & Timestamps 03:30 The Exhausting Reality of Living with MCAS 08:30 How Functional Medicine Fits In & Why the Nervous System Is the Missing Link 11:30 The Hidden Physical Trigger: Neck Tension, the Vagus Nerve & Structural Dysfunction 28:00 Dr. Tony's Personal Story with Secondary Lyme's & Neuro-Immune Dysfunction 31:30 The Three-Stage Progression: Accumulation, Dysregulation & Full Mast Cell Activation 36:30 Why the Right Interventions in the Wrong Order Make Things Worse 46:30 The Path Forward: Case History, Insight Scans & Finding the Root Cause 55:00 When to Introduce Detox & How to Do It Safely 57:00 Closing Encouragement & How to Connect with Dr. Tony -- 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.

He shares the inspiring story of Luke, a child who overcame severe autism regression through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, and explains his "Perfect Storm" theory that identifies the real root causes of autism spectrum disorders.
