189. Forget Blood Work, Parents! In Just 10 Minutes Your Nervous System Will Tell You Answers

Most parents are running on empty — and no amount of supplements, bloodwork, or health hacks is fixing it. In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel dedicates an entire conversation to parent health, revealing the number one missing test that conventional and functional medicine both overlook: HRV (Heart Rate Variability) testing. Dr. Tony breaks down the five zones of nervous system health, helps you identify exactly where you are, and gives you specific, actionable strategies for each zone — from the wound-up, hard-charging CrossFit parent all the way to the fully depleted, chronically ill parent in autonomic collapse. This episode is equal parts motivation and clinical roadmap. Your kids need you healthy. Here's how to get there.
