162. Q&A: Why Your Whole Family Is Exhausted (And What You Can Actually Do About It)

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 & Resources Free Resource: The Roadmap to Chronic Stress & Exhaustion: The 3 Stages of Subluxation [https://pxdocs.com/subluxation/3-stages-of-subluxation/] Enter the Podcast Giveaway and Win Free Prizes on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BawhXiYWz/] or Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/p/DRudpfhjSw4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==] ---- 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 [https://www.instagram.com/pxdocs/] Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network [https://www.facebook.com/drtonyebel/] Youtube: The PX Docs [https://www.youtube.com/@pxdocs] For more information, visit PXDocs.com [http://pxdocs.com/] to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

161. 5 Signs Your Childs Nervous System is Stuck in 'Fight or Flight'

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 [https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BawhXiYWz/] or Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/p/DRudpfhjSw4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==] ----- 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 [https://www.instagram.com/pxdocs/] Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network [https://www.facebook.com/drtonyebel/] Youtube: The PX Docs [https://www.youtube.com/@pxdocs] For more information, visit PXDocs.com [http://pxdocs.com/] to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

160. Q&A: Are Retained Primitive Reflexes Really the Root Cause?

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 [https://www.instagram.com/pxdocs/] Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network [https://www.facebook.com/drtonyebel/] Youtube: The PX Docs [https://www.youtube.com/@pxdocs] For more information, visit PXDocs.com [http://pxdocs.com/] to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.
