In this deep dive episode on anxiety, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses the anxiety epidemic impacting kids, teens and young adults today. He explains how anxiety has physical and neurological roots, often starting with triggers in pregnancy, birth trauma, and early childhood development that shift the nervous system into a stuck sympathetic "fight or flight" state. This leads to dysautonomia and an imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.While factors like technology overuse, lack of movement, and toxins can worsen anxiety, Dr. Ebel explains that the core issue lies in subluxation and nervous system dysregulation impacting key brain areas like the cerebellum, vagus nerve, amygdala and prefrontal cortex. The solution lies in addressing the root causes through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care that helps restore nervous system balance and function. This allows kids to get out of the anxiety storm and experience their optimal potential.Key Topics Covered:00:01:05 - The anxiety epidemic impacting kids, teens and young adults 00:10:34 - Symptoms and definition of anxiety 00:16:57 - Story illustrating the social/emotional challenges today's teens face 00:22:24 - Startling statistics on the dramatic rise in anxiety and depression 00:26:31 - Preparing kids to face adversity and build resilience 00:35:50 - Hannah's story - anxiety with physical manifestations 00:43:58 - Anxiety is a brain-based disorder with physical roots 00:53:51 - Three overlooked factors that trigger anxiety, starting in early development 01:07:14 - How the brain and nervous system are meant to develop from the bottom-up 01:13:32 - Subluxation, birth trauma and inhibited vagus nerve function as triggers 01:19:56 - How specific areas of the brain are impacted in anxiety 01:25:51 - Dysautonomia - the nervous system imbalance at the core of anxiety 01:28:08 - How neurologically-focused chiropractic addresses the root causes of anxiety 01:34:06 - The life-changing impacts of restoring optimal nervous system functionFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read our “What is Anxiety?” article, as well as other informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.-- 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.

He explains how the prevalence of autism has increased dramatically, from 1 in 3,500 to now 1 in 36 children. Dr. Tony emphasizes that while genetics play a role, autism is not genetically predetermined. Rather, it results from a "perfect storm" of stressors experienced early in development.He outlines the "three Ts" contributing to autism: toxins, traumas, and thoughts. This includes physical toxins and traumas like birth interventions, as well as emotional stress and anxiety during pregnancy. The speaker stresses the importance of identifying and addressing these root causes developmentally, in the order they occurred.A major focus is on birth trauma causing injury to the vagus nerve, which regulates inflammation and links the brain to every organ system. Dr. Tony shares research on critical developmental windows where the vagus nerve and nervous system maturation can be impacted. When overwhelmed, the nervous system gets stuck in chronic stress mode (“sympathetic dominance”), leading to subluxation, developmental delays, and exhaustion.Dr. Tony concludes that Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic adjustments to restore a balanced nervous system are often the missing element in caring for a child with autism. He advocates a whole-body approach while addressing root causes in the proper developmental sequence. The takeaway is that a child reaching their full potential is possible when the underlying neurological dysfunction is corrected.LinksFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read our “What is Autism?” article, as well as other informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.Relevant ResearchA Review on the Vagus Nerve and Autonomic Nervous System During Fetal Development: Searching for Critical WindowsIncidence of Pre-, Peri-, and Post-Natal Birth and Developmental Problems of Children with Sensory Processing Disorder and Children with Autism Spectrum DisorderAssociation of Cesarean Delivery With Risk of Neurodevelopmental and Psychiatric Disorders in the Offspring: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysisIncreased Risk of Autism Development in Children Whose Mothers Experienced Birth Complications or Received Labor and Delivery DrugsIncidence of Somatic Dysfunction in Healthy NewbornsAssociation Between Obstetric Mode of Delivery and Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Population-Based Sibling Design StudyThe Cerebellum, Sensitive Periods, and Autism-- 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.
