The Experience Miracles™ Podcast

What happens to my child when I'm no longer here? Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Dr. Andy Wakefield for a different kind of conversation — not causation, not neuroscience, but the question that haunts millions of parents raising a child with profound autism.

Dr. Andy Wakefield shares the story behind his path from clinical medicine to filmmaking and storytelling, including how a documentary he made once changed the outcome of a criminal case in American judicial history. That same instinct for story led him to write his new book, The Bequest — a deeper look at what happens to c...

If your child struggles with autism, ADHD, anxiety, sensory challenges, gut issues, or developmental delays, this episode is for you. Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the vagus nerve, how it communicates with the brain and body, and why it plays an essential role in your child’s nervous system health.

Dr. Tony connects vagus nerve dysfunction to birth trauma, The Perfect Storm, and sympathetic dominance, while sharing how HRV technology and Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can help assess and support nervous system regulation. You’ll learn what the vagus nerve does, why it matters, and how it m...

Your child's poop problems might not be a diet problem at all. Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down why chronic constipation is neurogenic in 95% of the cases he's seen, not nutritional.

Dr. Tony explains the four sequential nervous system functions that control digestion — motility, absorption, assimilation, and elimination — and why the Vagus Nerve, not magnesium or probiotics, is the real gatekeeper. When a child is stuck in Sympathetic Dominance, the "rest and digest" system shuts down regardless of diet quality.

Your child has tried the supplements, the diets, the therapies, the labs — and something's still missing. Dr. Tony Ebel introduces the Fourth M: Movement.

While most parents know the microbiome, mitochondria, and methylation, Dr. Tony makes the case that the neurosensory motor system is the most foundational (and most overlooked) piece of healing children with chronic conditions like autism. Through the story of Joseph, an 11-year-old who saw six specialists, five surgeries, and seven daily medications before finding PX Docs, Dr. Tony breaks down what the neuromotor system does and why it must come first

The right pieces, wrong batting order. Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down why most natural ADHD protocols stall out — and what needs to come first.

If you've done the clean diet, the supplements, the functional labs, and your child's ADHD symptoms still haven't fully resolved, it's likely not because those things don't work. Dr. Tony explains why nervous system repair has to come first, before nutrition, supplementation, and detox — and why doing detox too early can actually make behavior, sensory sensitivity, and sleep issues worse instead of better.

Your child isn't refusing school — their nervous system is. Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down why school refusal, anxiety, and stomach aches are often the same neurological story with a different label at a different age.

If Sunday nights end in tears and Monday mornings turn into a parking lot battle, you've probably already been told it's anxiety, a phase, or a discipline problem that just needs firmer boundaries. Dr. Tony explains why those labels miss the real root cause: a nervous system stuck in sympathetic dominance, unable to access the calm, regulated state a child needs to wa...

Tylenol during pregnancy and autism: what does the research actually show, and what might Mom’s nervous system have to do with it? Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the science behind the headlines without the politics or fear.

Drawing from two decades of case histories, Dr. Tony explores the connection between maternal stress, Sympathetic Dominance, acetaminophen, oxidative stress, and the developing brain—and how these factors may fit into the larger Perfect Storm behind autism and neurodevelopmental challenges. Most importantly, he asks a deeper question: it’s not just what Mom took, but why her nervous system needed...

Your child's meltdowns aren't defiance — they're nervous system dysregulation. Dr. Tony Ebel and Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, author of The Dysregulated Kid, explain why 99% of "bad behavior" isn't a choice, and how regulating yourself first changes everything.

Learn her Regulation First Parenting method, including the Love Pause and daily micro-moments that calm the whole household... and why getting mom and dad regulated is often the missing piece behind stalled progress.

Why do some kids have severe vaccine reactions while others don’t? Dr. Tony Ebel explores the “Perfect Storm” of factors that may contribute to nervous system vulnerability, from pregnancy and birth stress to subluxation, sympathetic dominance, and reduced reserve capacity.

He explains why a child’s nervous system, adaptability, and resilience matter, what may be happening underneath the surface before an adverse reaction, and how tools like INSiGHT Scans and HRV can provide insight into nervous system function. Most importantly, this episode is about understanding the whole child—not assuming every child will respond the same way.

If you're the parent who holds it all together, exhausted but wired, guilty when you rest, snapping over small things, this episode is for you. Dr. Tony Ebel shares the story of Sarah, a mom who looked completely put together but was quietly running on empty, and uses it to explain why so many high-achieving parents feel addicted to their own stress.

Dr. Tony breaks down cortisol addiction and sympathetic dominance, the nervous system pattern that keeps your body stuck on the gas pedal with no access to the brake. He connects it directly to the same...

In this episode, Dr. Tony walks through the three INSiGHT Scans, neurothermal, surface EMG, and HRV, and how each one measures a different piece of your child's nervous system function. He shares real case stories, including a child whose ATNR reflex resolved in 48 hours once his adjustments were guided by updated scans, and explains the four ways these scans direct a child's entire care plan: whether care can help, how severe the dysregulation is, exactly where to adjust, and which technique to use.

By the end, you'll understand why scans, not guesswork, are behind every PX Docs...

In this episode, Dr. Tony breaks down the Cell Danger Response, the research behind why a child's cells shut down energy production, and why that shutdown is actually the nervous system doing exactly what it's designed to do when it senses ongoing threat. He explains why supplements, red light therapy, and NAD+ can feed the cell the raw materials for energy, but none of it holds if the nervous system is still stuck broadcasting danger.

You'll learn about the three stages of subluxation, why an upper cervical brainstem subluxation can send a global distress signal to every...

Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Andrea — a board-certified pediatric nurse turned integrative practitioner — for a raw, deeply personal conversation about her family's seven-year journey through PANS/PANDAS. Andrea shares how her daughters were injured at a routine vaccination appointment, how a "divine appointment" led her to the physician who finally diagnosed her daughter, and the long road of therapies, setbacks, and small breakthroughs that followed. 

The conversation turns to what happens to a parent's own nervous system during a child's chronic illness — including the radical, aggressive self-care Andrea had to learn the hard way — and explores the diffe...

Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most-asked questions on the podcast: when is it actually time to start supplements for your child? Using his Four Phase Healing Model as a framework, he explains why supplements can't do their job in a dysregulated nervous system, why he no longer recommends starting probiotics right away, and how to sequence supplementation safely once your child's nervous system is in a ready state. He also shares his own family's supplement routine, the story behind his endorsement of Kingdom Health Sciences, and a step-by-step guide for starting supplements — for both kids and parents.

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with his wife, Kristina Ebel, for an intimate conversation about what it really takes to raise resilient kids. Drawing on 18 years of parenting and their own childhoods — Tony's on a farm, Kristina's in a first-generation immigrant business family — they unpack how resilience is built through chiropractic-informed health, intentional core values, and modeling (not just preaching) hard work, service, and faith. The conversation moves from practical family stories (a UTV accident, a missed cross-country cutoff by 1.8 seconds) to bigger-picture philosophy on purpose versus balance, why perspective matters more...

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel takes a deep dive into six powerful, lifestyle-based ways to improve nervous system regulation for you and your entire family. While Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care remains the gold standard, Dr. Tony breaks down what you can do at home — every day — to actively support a regulated nervous system. From breathing and cardio to digestion, detoxification, sleep, and movement, he shows how these six core functions of the body are all deeply connected, and how optimizing each one helps combat the nervous system dysregulation at the root of so many chronic health struggles in kids and...

Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most requested topics from parents of kids with hypotonia and neurodevelopmental challenges: peptides. He breaks down what peptides are, why he's cautious about synthetic injectables, and why the healing sequence — nervous system first — must come before any supplement or intervention. Dr. Tony also shares his personal experience trying two different injectable peptide companies (and why neither worked for him), explains the neurological root cause of low muscle tone, and introduces an exciting new collaboration with Kingdom Health Sciences and their regenerative organic certified organ peptides — a whole-food-sourced alternative he's now using himself and is...

Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Sharon Cryan, founder of FoodNerd, for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked pillars of children's health: not just what's in our food, but how it's made. Sharon shares her powerful origin story — born to a single mother with MS, watching chronic illness shape the world around her — and how that journey led her from law school to revolutionizing food manufacturing. Together, they unpack the truth about ultra-processed foods, the gap in processing transparency that even health-conscious parents miss, and why natural flavors aren't as safe as they sound. Sharon also brea...

Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the updated four-phase clinical healing model used at PX Docs — and why the sequence you follow matters more than almost anything else. He explains why so many kids get stuck or even get worse when families skip ahead to detox, supplements, or movement therapies before the nervous system foundation is repaired first. 

Dr. Tony also introduces Kingdom Health Sciences, a new pediatric supplement line built specifically for perfect storm kids, and explains exactly when and how to use it in the healing journey.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the true root cause of auditory processing disorder — and it's not the ears, and it's not the brain. It's the brainstem. Dr. Tony explains why so many children go through hearing tests, speech therapy, and occupational therapy and still aren't making the progress they should, and what's actually missing from the equation. He walks parents through the neuroscience of how sound is processed, why birth trauma and toxic overload are key triggers, and how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care removes the interference that's blocking their child's ability to process, communicate, and thrive. This ep...

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel makes the case that one of the most powerful things you can do for your child's immune system is also the simplest — and the most overlooked. Drawing on his upbringing on a cattle and grain farm in northwest Iowa, Dr. Tony connects real-life farm stories to cutting-edge neuroimmunology to show why getting outside, playing in the dirt, and embracing exposure is foundational to raising healthy, resilient kids. 

He breaks down the hygiene hypothesis, shares findings from a groundbreaking Finland daycare study, and explains why fear of germs may be doing more dam...

Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most commonly missed diagnoses in neurodevelopmental care: the brain-body disconnect hiding inside raging bull kids. While the drunken bull's struggles are visible and obvious, the raging bull's disorganization is buried beneath a flood of energy, motion, and output — which is exactly why pediatricians, therapists, and even chiropractors miss it. 

Dr. Tony breaks down the neurophysiology behind why these kids can sprint but can't skip, throw hard but can't catch, and talk constantly but struggle to articulate under pressure. He explains how subluxation at the brainstem level drives the gas pedal whi...

In this powerful episode, Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with attorney Aaron Siri — author of the bestselling book Vaccines, Amen and founder of the largest non-pharma vaccine legal practice in the world — for one of the most important conversations in the history of the Experience Miracles podcast. Aaron has spent over a decade litigating vaccine injury cases, deposing the world's leading vaccinologists, and forcing federal agencies to produce documents through FOIA requests that the public was never meant to see. 

Together, they walk through the shocking truth about how childhood vaccines were actually licensed, what the long-term healt...

In this deep-dive Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel opens up about his own decade-long battle with Lyme disease — from the tick bite in his backyard to the chronic symptoms that silently took over his life. He breaks down the three stages of nervous system dysfunction, explains why so many people struggle to heal from Lyme, and shares the exact three-step sequence that finally got him better.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses the important connection between the brain and gut, and how supporting this connection is key for children's health and wellbeing. He explains how the Vagus Nerve is the main pathway between the brain and gut, and a dysfunctional Vagus Nerve caused by a stressed nervous system can lead to many chronic health issues. Dr. Ebel emphasizes the need to focus on restoring nervous system function through a neurologically-focused chiropractor to truly help heal the gut and microbiome.

Parents often wonder why chiropractic adjustments are so quick and whether every child is getting the same treatment. In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the two most common questions he hears from families: why are adjustments so short, and how is care truly personalized? He explains the "less is more" principle, why the healing actually happens between visits — not on the table — and how a two-minute neurotonal adjustment can be more powerful and effective than an hour of nonstop therapy. Dr. Tony also addresses why an over-adjusted or overstimulated nervous system simply stops receiving input, and why freq...

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses one of the most common and heartbreaking frustrations parents of children with chronic illness face: doing everything right and still not seeing results. Dr. Tony reframes the problem entirely — it's not that the interventions are wrong, it's that they're being applied in the wrong order and on top of a broken foundation. He walks through the neurophysiological science of why healing follows a predictable sequence, introduces his clinical intake process, and lays out a clear four-step healing playbook: fix the nervous system foundation first, then movement integration, then gut and immune detoxification, an...

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most emotionally charged and scientifically complex questions parents ask: why do some kids go through the same birth interventions — C-sections, forceps, vacuum, induction — and come out healthy, while others spiral into chronic illness, neurodevelopmental challenges, and the perfect storm? Dr. Tony breaks it all down through the lens of nervous system resilience, the house and storm analogy, and the upstream factors that shape a child's ability to handle stress before they ever take their first breath. This is not a conversation about blame — it's a conv...

Dr. Tony Ebel takes a deep dive into one of the most important — and most overlooked — root causes behind chronic childhood illness: dysautonomia. He breaks down what dysautonomia actually is, how it connects seemingly unrelated symptoms across the gut, immune system, brain, and body, and why the conventional medical model of siloed specialists keeps so many families stuck without real answers. 

Using the real-life case of patient Connor — a young athlete who went from mysterious fevers, rashes, and inflammation to thriving — Dr. Tony shows exactly how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care targets dysautonomia at its root. He also walks through t...

Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most emotionally charged topics parents face — bedwetting and enuresis. He breaks down the complex neurophysiology behind bladder control, explains why conventional explanations like low antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are real but incomplete, and walks parents through the three outcomes he sees clinically when kids receive Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care. Dr. Tony connects the dots between nervous system dysregulation, sympathetic dominance, disrupted circadian rhythms, and why so many kids struggle to stay dry at night — and more importantly, what parents can do about it at the root cause level.
