Show notes
What if your child’s anxiety, ADHD, sensory issues, gut problems, sleep struggles, or chronic illness weren’t just genetic — and weren’t only caused by toxins? In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel reveals the hidden “sympathetic stress loop” he believes keeps many children stuck in survival mode, unable to fully heal even after diet changes, supplements, detoxes, and conventional treatment.
Dr. Ebel also shares the shocking personal story of his son Oliver, who doctors said had only a 20% chance of surviving to age one and a 99% chance of epilepsy, autism, or cerebral palsy if he lived. What he did next became the foundation for the protocol he now uses to help children around the world.
