141. More Than Tylenol & Toxins: Root-Cause, Drug-Free Autism Help for Parents

Dr. Tony Ebel Episode 141

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the truth about autism — why cases have skyrocketed, what’s really behind it, and most importantly, what parents can do to help their child thrive.

He explains how autism isn’t genetically predetermined but develops from a “perfect storm” of stressors that overwhelm the nervous system — from birth trauma and toxins to prenatal stress. A key focus is the vagus nerve, which connects the brain to every organ system and often gets injured during birth, leading to inflammation, stress overload, and developmental delays.

The good news: when the nervous system is restored and regulated through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic care, kids can unlock their potential. Parents will leave this episode with clarity, confidence, and hope for healing.
