232. Your Child’s Poop Problems are a Nervous System Problem

Your child's poop problems might not be a diet problem at all. Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down why chronic constipation is neurogenic in 95% of the cases he's seen, not nutritional.

Dr. Tony explains the four sequential nervous system functions that control digestion — motility, absorption, assimilation, and elimination — and why the Vagus Nerve, not magnesium or probiotics, is the real gatekeeper. When a child is stuck in Sympathetic Dominance, the "rest and digest" system shuts down regardless of diet quality.
