In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses the fundamental differences between what he describes as "raging bull" ADHD and "drunken bull" ADD. He explains how both conditions stem from nervous system dysregulation but manifest in different ways. Dr. Ebel shares his concerns about medication approaches that only mask symptoms while introducing side effects, and offers his perspective on addressing the root neurological causes through chiropractic care that targets subluxation and vagus nerve function. Drawing from his personal experience with ADHD, he outlines how proper neurological balance can transform these conditions from struggles to strengths.
