193. Calming the Sensory Storm: Why Your Child Is So Overwhelmed & How to Help

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel takes a deep dive into sensory processing challenges — what they really are, where they come from, and most importantly, what to do about them. Rather than approaching sensory issues as a fixed disorder, Dr. Tony explains how they stem from nervous system dysregulation rooted in early physical stressors like birth trauma, pregnancy stress, and toxic overload. He walks parents through the neuroscience of subluxation, sympathetic dominance, and vagus nerve dysfunction, and makes the case that true healing starts at the neurospinal foundation — not the gut, not supplements, not sensory workarounds. The episode closes with a powerful patient story and a clear roadmap for next steps.
