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.
