178. Q&A | Can Kids Fully Heal From Food Allergies & Sensitivities? Jan 30, 2026

Show notes

In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most common questions from parents: Can kids really heal from food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities? Dr. Tony explains that food reactions aren't just about the gut or immune system—they're fundamentally a nervous system regulation issue.

He breaks down the critical connection between the vagus nerve, digestive function, and immune tolerance, explaining how subluxation creates a cycle of immune overreaction and gut dysfunction. Dr. Tony outlines a healing approach that prioritizes nervous system stability through chiropractic care, followed by functional medicine interventions. He emphasizes that healing is absolutely possible but requires time, the right sequence of care, and combining both approaches for exponential results—what he calls "one plus one equals 11.

177. When It’s Time to Pull Back on Supplements: A Parent’s Guide Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most common fears parents face: "Should I stop giving my child so many supplements?" He explores the critical difference between helpful supplementation and supplement dependency, revealing how the body can actually become reliant on external support rather than healing from the inside out. Dr. Tony breaks down three types of families asking this question, explains why "cookie-cutter" functional medicine can lead to supplement overload, and shares the truth about how nervous system supplements can create dependency when taken long-term.

176. Q&A | Can Chiropractic Help with OCD & Anxiety? Jan 23, 2026

Show notes

In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most requested questions: Can chiropractic care help with OCD? He explains how OCD is rooted in a nervous system stuck in 24/7 fight-or-flight mode and breaks down the neuroscience behind it—including the roles of the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and vagus nerve.

Dr. Tony reveals why traditional approaches often miss the mark and how neurologically-focused chiropractic care works from the inside out to calm an overactive nervous system and create a stronger foundation for healing. This episode offers real, drug-free hope to families struggling with OCD and anxiety.

175. The Studies They Didn’t Want You To See: Are Vaccinated or Unvaccinated Children Healthier? w/ Del Bigtree Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Del Bigtree, founder of ICAN (Informed Consent Action Network) and host of The Highwire, to discuss the critical intersection of nervous system health, vaccines, and chronic childhood illness. Del shares groundbreaking insights into vaccine safety research (or lack thereof), while Dr. Tony reveals his clinical discoveries about the "perfect storm" - how birth trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and toxic exposure create the foundation for adverse vaccine reactions in some children but not others.

This episode covers the shocking truth about vaccine safety studies, the 80-90% correlation between birth interventions and autism, the connection between colic and autism, and the incredible momentum of the MAHA movement toward medical freedom.

174. Q&A | Help for My Child’s Adenoids & Tonsils to Avoid Surgery Jan 16, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most common questions in his 20 years of practice: what to do about enlarged adenoids, tonsils, and chronic ear infections. He reveals the hidden root cause that most doctors overlook—the "plumbing problem" caused by subluxation and lack of movement in the neurospinal system. Dr. Tony explains why movement is essential for drainage and provides a balanced decision-making framework for parents, including when natural care is enough and when surgical intervention may be necessary as a last resort.

172. Q&A | Is My Child’s Behavior a Parenting Issue... or Something Deeper? Jan 09, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel takes a deep dive into childhood behavior, challenging the outdated chemical imbalance theory and revealing the neurological root causes behind tantrums, meltdowns, and ADHD-like behaviors. He introduces the “Perfect Storm”—key factors that can trap a child’s nervous system in fight-or-flight—and explains how dysautonomia, proprioception, and brainstem dysfunction drive what looks like misbehavior. Most importantly, Dr. Tony reassures parents that these struggles aren’t bad parenting or genetic bad luck, but nervous system imbalances that can be identified and addressed through drug-free, neurologically focused care.

171. Busy Body = Busy Brain: Why Attention and Behavior Feel So Hard for Your Child Jan 06, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel reframes common behavioral challenges seen in children with ADHD, sensory processing issues, and autism as signs of nervous system dysregulation, not misbehavior. He explains how proprioception, subluxation, and the body-to-brain connection drive constant movement, fidgeting, and stimming, and why traditional behavior strategies and medications often miss the root cause. Dr. Tony shares practical, drug-free solutions including Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, purposeful movement, and family-centered healing to help kids regulate, focus, and thrive.

170. Q&A | Why Do Seizures Increase During Developmental Leaps? Jan 02, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses a question that deeply concerns seizure parents: why seizures often increase during developmental leaps. Drawing from both clinical experience and his personal journey as a father, he explains how these temporary upticks can be part of neurological growth and healing, not necessarily regression. Dr. Tony breaks down the neuroscience behind neuroplasticity, increased metabolic demand, and why the nervous system can look more unstable before reorganizing more effectively. He also shares clear guidance on how to support your child during these phases, how to tell the difference between healing progress and true setbacks, and when additional medical support is needed.
