201. Autoimmune Conditions & Chronic Inflammation: Why the Vagus Nerve Is Critical For Healing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the critical but widely overlooked role the vagus nerve plays in autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, and immune system dysregulation. Dr. Ebel opens with a first-hand update from his trip to Washington, D.C. and the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement — sharing why chiropractic has always been at the forefront of this fight and what the nervous system conversation is still missing from the national health discussion.
He then dives deep into the neuroscience of why the body can't shut off inflammation without a functioning vagus nerve, why medications and supplements alone will never be enough, and what parents need to know about the Perfect Storm that begins as early as birth. Dr. Ebel also covers practical nutrition steps, the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, how chiropractic adjustments directly impact inflammatory markers, and how to test vagus nerve function through heart rate variability (HRV).
