In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel dives deep into the topic of autism, drawing on his extensive expertise studying it for over 15 years. 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.
