In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses the important connection between the brain and gut, and how supporting this connection is key for children's health and wellbeing. He explains how the Vagus Nerve is the main pathway between the brain and gut, and a dysfunctional Vagus Nerve caused by a stressed nervous system can lead to many chronic health issues. Dr. Ebel emphasizes the need to focus on restoring nervous system function through a neurologically-focused chiropractor to truly help heal the gut and microbiome.
