140. The CDC Took Crawling Off the Chart — But Is It Still an Essential Milestone?
In this Q&A episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel dives deep into why crawling matters so much for child development and why the CDC's 2022 decision to remove it from developmental milestones was a critical mistake. He explains the neuroscience behind crawling, how it wires the brain for everything from motor coordination to cognitive function, and why skipping crawling can lead to issues like ADHD, sensory processing disorders, and emotional dysregulation later on. Dr. Tony introduces the concept of "stanky leg" crawling (asymmetrical crawling patterns) and explains how subluxations can cause compensatory movement patterns that affect overall brain development. He emphasizes the importance of getting children's nervous systems checked and adjusted to restore proper developmental sequencing.Key Topics & Timestamps([00:02:00]) - The "Stanky Leg" Crawling - Introduction of asymmetrical crawling patterns and why they matter for development.([00:04:00]) - CDC Removes Crawling from Milestones - How the CDC removed crawling from developmental posters in 2022 despite its brain-wiring importance.([00:07:00]) - Get Out of the Medical System - Dr. Tony's "cheat code" for keeping kids healthy by avoiding traditional medical approaches.([00:11:00]) - Subluxation and Motor Dysfunction - Detailed explanation of how subluxations affect crawling ability and brain coordination.([00:16:00]) - Brain Compensation Patterns - How children's brains develop compensatory patterns when proper crawling sequences are disrupted.([00:18:00]) - Raging Bulls vs. Drunken Bulls - Clinical patterns in children who skip crawling: hyperactive vs. inattentive/uncoordinated presentations.([00:24:00]) - Reorganizational Healing - How children spontaneously return to crawling patterns when their nervous systems are properly restored.-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

139. Dairy and Grains Aren’t the Enemy — How They Can Actually Be a HEALTH Food w/ Jordan Rubin
Dr. Tony Ebel interviews Jordan Rubin about his new book, "The Biblio Diet" co-authored with Dr. Josh Axe. This groundbreaking conversation challenges conventional dietary restrictions that overwhelm families with neurodivergent children. Rubin presents biblical principles for eating that contradict modern health advice, arguing that grains, dairy, and red meat can be healing foods when consumed in their proper form. The discussion covers the difference between industrially processed foods versus traditionally prepared versions, emphasizing that God's original design for food and our nervous systems work together for optimal health. Rather than endless restrictions, the Biblio Diet offers families a simpler, more sustainable approach to nutrition rooted in biblical wisdom.-----Links & Resources:Download your free chapter of The Biblio Diet at: www.thebibliodiet.comBuy the full book 'The Biblio Diet' by Jordan Rubin and Dr. Josh Axe anywhere books are sold.Follow Jordan on Socials: Instagram: @jordansrubinFacebook: @Jordan-RubinX: @realjordanrubinTikTok: @jordanrubinLinkedIn: @jordanrubin----Key Topics & Timestamps([00:02:00]) - Core Message: Grains, Dairy & Red Meat Rock Revolutionary claim that these commonly avoided foods can be healing when consumed properly([00:09:00]) - Origin Story: From Paleo to Biblio How the concept emerged 12-14 years ago from critiquing evolutionary-based diets([00:21:00]) - King Solomon's Daily Diet Biblical analysis of the wisest man's eating habits: grass-fed meat and bread([00:24:00]) - Sourdough Bread Solutions Practical advice on finding healthy, traditionally fermented bread that even celiacs can tolerate([00:28:00]) - Form and Function Philosophy Connecting proper food forms with nervous system function for optimal healing([00:33:00]) - Dairy Deep Dive Jordan's personal healing story using copious amounts of the right kind of dairy([00:35:00]) - A1 vs A2 Dairy Explanation The critical difference between harmful A1 and beneficial A2 dairy proteins([00:44:00]) - Book Access and Biblical Food Restrictions Getting "The Biblio Diet" plus discussion of avoiding pork and shellfish([00:50:00]) - Closing Encouragement Final thoughts on experiencing health miracles through biblical nutrition-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

138. Q&A: When There’s No Traumatic Birth—Why Do Kids Still Struggle?
In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles a common parent question: "My child has autism/ADHD, but didn't have birth trauma - why?"Dr. Ebel explains that while 90-95% of his cases involve clear trauma triggers, the remaining cases show the same nervous system dysfunction from subtler causes. He outlines the "Three T's" of stress (Trauma, Toxins, Thoughts) and how minor stressors during key developmental periods can accumulate into neurological challenges. Modern children face unprecedented stress levels - from prenatal maternal stress to environmental toxins, EMF exposure, medications, and overstimulating environments. All these factors lead to the same outcome: sympathetic nervous system dominance and dysregulation.The encouraging news? Cases without obvious trauma often heal "faster, better, cleaner" since less severe stress is easier to reverse. The focus should be on addressing nervous system dysfunction through neurologically focused, drug-free care rather than just managing the diagnosis.Key Topics & Timestamps([00:01:00]) - The Question That Puzzles Parents - Introduction to autism/ADHD without obvious birth trauma([00:04:00]) - Same Nervous System, Different Triggers - How all neurological conditions show the same underlying dysfunction([00:05:00]) - The Three T's Explained - Breaking down Trauma, Toxins, and Thoughts as stress categories([00:07:00]) - Hidden Modern Stressors - The subtle but pervasive stress of modern life that gets normalized([00:10:00]) - The Most Toxic Generation - Living in the highest stress, toxic-load world in human history([00:15:00]) - Critical Development Windows - Why early stress has profound impact on developing nervous systems([00:17:00]) - The Real Action Step - Focusing on nervous system regulation rather than treating diagnoses([00:19:00]) - The Silver Lining - Why cases without obvious trauma may actually heal better-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

137. Too Many Therapies? Navigating Intervention Overload for Kids
Dr. Tony Ebel addresses one of the most common challenges facing families with chronically ill children: healing interventions overload. Many parents are managing multiple therapies, dozens of supplements, and restrictive diets while feeling like nothing works and their child remains stuck or regresses.Dr. Tony reveals the counterintuitive truth that the most advanced healing approach is "less is more." He explains how well-intentioned interventions can overwhelm a child's already stressed nervous system. The solution is a three-phase approach: Phase 1 focuses exclusively on foundational Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, Phase 2 gradually reintroduces therapies, and Phase 3 is where breakthrough healing occurs. The key message: healing comes from proper sequencing and the child's innate ability, not from piling on more interventions.Key Topics & Timestamps([00:00:00]) - The Overload Crisis - How millions of parents are overwhelmed managing multiple interventions without seeing results([00:04:00]) - When Good Interventions Go Bad - Why overwhelmed nervous systems cause children to plateau or regress despite "doing everything right"([00:09:00]) - Less Is More Philosophy - The advanced approach prioritizes foundation and sequencing over doing everything at once([00:11:00]) - The Computer & Circuit Breaker Analogies - Relatable explanations of how nervous system overload works([00:15:00]) - The Energy Theft Hierarchy - Scientific breakdown of how stress systematically affects gut, immune, and motor systems([00:21:00]) - The Three-Phase Action Plan - Foundation first (Phase 1), gradual reintroduction (Phase 2), breakthrough healing (Phase 3)([00:28:00]) - The Patience Factor & Next Steps - Honest discussion about the difficulty of slowing down and practical guidance for getting started-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

136. Q&A Getting a Diagnosis for Your Child: 4 Ways it Can Help or Hurt
In this Ask Dr. Tony episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses one of the most controversial topics in pediatric healthcare: the benefits and drawbacks of diagnosing children with conditions like autism, ADHD, anxiety, and autoimmune disorders.Dr. Tony presents a balanced perspective, outlining four significant benefits that diagnoses can provide to children and families, including access to essential services, insurance coverage, validation, and support groups. However, he also reveals four critical limitations of diagnostic labels that can actually hinder healing and create dependency on the medical system.The episode challenges parents to think beyond traditional medical labels and consider a nervous system-focused, root cause approach to their children's health challenges. Dr. Tony emphasizes that children are "designed to heal" and advocates for maintaining hope while strategically using the benefits of diagnoses without falling into limiting mindsets.Key Topics & Timestamps([00:01:00]) - The Diagnosis Debate - Discussing the rise in chronic illness and the controversial nature of labeling children([00:02:00]) - Four Benefits of Diagnosis - Access to services, insurance coverage, validation, and support groups([00:05:00]) - Four Limitations Begin - Emphasizing children are "designed to be healthy, heal, and be awesome"([00:07:00]) - Practice Philosophy & Owen Example - How Dr. Tony treats children as individuals: "We're going to help you get less of the challenges and more of your awesomeness"([00:09:00]) - Medication Dependency & System Critique - How diagnoses lead to pharmaceutical dependency and insurance covers what keeps people sick([00:12:00]) - Call to Action - Invitation to learn about Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care and the PX Docs network-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.
