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 conversation about clarity, understanding, and how to move your family powerfully forward.
