Optimizing Pediatric Neurological Health: Summary
‘Optimizing Pediatric Neurological Health’ features Dr. Piper Gibson, who specializes in functional medicine and holistic nutrition. She discusses her journey from a stay-at-home mom to a children’s health expert, driven by her son’s struggle with a transient neurological tic disorder. Frustrated with conventional medicine’s failure, Dr. Gibson explored holistic methods, eventually founding the Tic Disorder Institute: Regenerating Health to help families manage tic disorders naturally through diet, lifestyle changes, and genetic testing. Her work extends to educating on neurological disorders like ADHD, autism, and seizures, emphasizing that these are connected to broader health issues beyond the brain alone.
In the interview, Dr. Gibson details the holistic approach she uses, including removing processed foods and sugars, improving diet, ensuring proper sleep, and addressing environmental and genetic factors. She presents various success stories, including children who have substantially improved their health and lives through her programs. The discussion also touches on the importance of individualized care based on genetic testing, especially in cases involving severe diagnoses like PANS/PANDAS and traumatic brain injuries.
The podcast highlights Dr. Gibson’s belief in addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, empowering parents with the knowledge and tools necessary to support their children’s health. She advocates for better education on neurological disorders in schools and shares resources such as her book “Tic Talk” and her regenerative health programs. Dr. Gibson is active in spreading awareness and training other practitioners in holistic pediatric care, illustrating her dedication to improving children’s health outcomes.
