In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel takes a deep dive into childhood behavior, challenging the outdated chemical imbalance theory and revealing the neurological root causes behind tantrums, meltdowns, and ADHD-like behaviors. He introduces the “Perfect Storm”—key factors that can trap a child’s nervous system in fight-or-flight—and explains how dysautonomia, proprioception, and brainstem dysfunction drive what looks like misbehavior. Most importantly, Dr. Tony reassures parents that these struggles aren’t bad parenting or genetic bad luck, but nervous system imbalances that can be identified and addressed through drug-free, neurologically focused care.
