    193. Calming the Sensory Storm: Why Your Child Is So Overwhelmed & How to Help

    In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel takes a deep dive into sensory processing challenges — what they really are, where they come from, and most importantly, what to do about them. Rather than approaching sensory issues as a fixed disorder, Dr. Tony explains how they stem from nervous system dysregulation rooted in early physical stressors like birth trauma, pregnancy stress, and toxic overload. He walks parents through the neuroscience of subluxation, sympathetic dominance, and vagus nerve dysfunction, and makes the case that true healing starts at the neurospinal foundation — not the gut, not supplements, not sensory workarounds. The episode closes with a powerful patient story and a clear roadmap for next steps.

    192. Q&A | When Family Doesn’t Understand Your Child’s Struggles or Care Choices (What to Do)

    When the people closest to you don't understand your child's struggles with autism, ADHD, or sensory challenges, it can feel just as exhausting as the challenges themselves. In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down why grandparents and loved ones from older generations see things so differently — and what you can actually do about it. From the medical mindset of the 40s and 50s to the real neurophysiology behind meltdowns, Dr. Tony gives you simple analogies, practical strategies, and a healthy dose of permission to stop explaining yourself to everyone. You'll learn how to reframe the conversation, give loved ones a meaningful role, set loving boundaries, and share the wins that matter most. ----- Key Topics & Timestamps 00:00 Why Grandparents See the World Differently  1:45 The Medical Dominance Mindset That Shaped Their Generation 4:45 What the Peanut Gallery Gets Wrong  09:00 Reframing the Conversation: From Symptoms to the Nervous System 10:00 The Noisy Car Analogy Every Grandpa Will Understand  17:00 Why You Can't Discipline a Dysregulated Nervous System  22:45 Three Practical Strategies for Getting Loved Ones on Board  29:30 Why Grandparents Sometimes Spot the Healing Before Parents Do --  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.

    191. Infantile spasms: How Some Families Beat the Odds

    Infantile spasms are one of the most frightening neurological emergencies a parent can face — and most families are told that 80 to 90% of children will go on to have lifelong developmental delays and continued seizure disorders. In this deep dive, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down what infantile spasms actually are, what's driving them at the root level, and what the families who beat the odds are doing differently.  He walks through the perfect storm of birth trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and subluxation that underlies nearly every case he has seen — and explains why the warning signs are almost always there long before the spasms begin. Drawing from his own son Oliver's story and the remarkable case of twins Jordan and Teo, Dr. Tony makes clear that emergency medical care is non-negotiable — and makes an equally strong case for why Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care needs to be part of the plan from day one to address the root cause and give every kiddo the best possible shot at a full, healthy, seizure-free life. ----- Links & Resources Understanding Infantile Spasms: A Comprehensive Guide for Parents PWC Intensive Program for Advanced Neurological Cases: https://premierwellnesschiro.com/the-perfect-storm/ ----- Key Topics & Timestamps 4:00  Medical First: Why Emergency Care and an Epileptologist Are Non-Negotiable 8:00 What Are Infantile Spasms?

    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.
