121. The On-Off Switch for Neuroinflammation (That No One Talks About)

Dr. Tony Ebel reveals the deeper truth about neuroinflammation in children with autism, ADHD, epilepsy, and other chronic health challenges. While diet changes, detoxes, and supplements target inflammation at the surface level, the real on-off switch to neuroinflammation lies much deeper—in the vagus nerve. 

Dr. Ebel explains how vagus nerve dysfunction creates a traffic jam in the body's anti-inflammatory pathways, keeping children trapped in chronic sympathetic fight-or-flight mode. He shares the powerful story of Ethan, a child with severe autism who experienced dramatic healing once his vagus nerve was properly activated through Neurologically Focused Chiropractic Care. This episode provides parents with a clear understanding of why their child may still be experiencing inflammation despite trying every diet and supplement, and offers hope by addressing the underlying neurological cause.
