The Experience Miracles™ Podcast

Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Dr. Melonie — perinatal chiropractor, board-certified lactation consultant, and one of the leading voices in pediatric neurological care — for a conversation that will change the way you think about breastfeeding. They break down why latch struggles, low milk supply, and early breastfeeding failure are not mom's fault — they are nervous system issues rooted in birth trauma. Dr. Melonie walks through the neuromechanics of the first milestone, why the formula industry is positioned to swoop in at exactly the right moment of vulnerability, and what a neurologically focused care plan actually looks like for newborns. The conversation then shifts to their recent trip to Washington, D.C., where they sat in rooms with MAHA leaders and chiropractic advocates pushing for real policy change around maternal and infant health — and why both of them believe the tide is finally turning.

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most common and frustrating questions he hears from parents: does every child really have Lyme, Candida, and parasites — or are we missing something bigger? Dr. Tony walks through the three tiers of healthcare most families cycle through, explains why constantly chasing and killing pathogens is an incomplete approach, and makes the case that nervous system dysregulation is the hidden root cause underneath nearly all chronic illnesses in kids. Using an accessible low-battery-mode analogy, he explains why no supplement, protocol, or detox program can fully work in a neurologically depleted body — and what parents need to do first to actually get results.

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).

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most common — and misunderstood — challenges in pediatric neurodevelopment: the "drunken bull." These are the kids who are clumsy, uncoordinated, low-toned, and always a step behind their peers physically. Dr. Tony breaks down why this is not a muscular problem, not something kids simply grow out of, and not solved by more reps in PT. He explains the true neurological root cause — subluxation and disrupted sensory input — and lays out the exact care plan, technique approach, and team-building strategy that gets these kiddos moving, thriving, and reaching their full athletic and academic potential. He also shares the personal story of his daughter Elena's journey through a growth-spurt-driven drunken bull season and what it took to get her back on track.

Dr. Tony Ebel delivers a long-awaited, deeply personal, and scientifically complete breakdown of MTHFR and methylation — and why the way most people are talking about it is leaving families more scared and more stuck than ever. Drawing from his background in molecular biology, his time as a farm kid watching the rise of GMO agriculture, and a pivotal encounter with Dr. Bruce Lipton's epigenetics work in chiropractic school, Dr. Tony reframes MTHFR not as a life sentence, but as one piece of a much bigger puzzle. The real upstream factor most experts are missing? The nervous system. This episode gives parents the full, complete story — the science, the mindset, and a clear action plan — so they can stop feeling broken and start building genuine, lasting health for themselves and their children.
