Are you a parent at the end of your rope dealing with your child's complex neurological challenges like tics, Tourette's, ADHD or anxiety?Today, we welcome pioneering functional health expert Dr Piper Gibson, founder of the Regenerating Health and Tic Disorder Institute. Dr Gibson shares her powerful, research-backed journey of helping her own son overcome a transient neurological tic disorder and how she now empowers families globally with a holistic, root-cause approach. Discover why symptoms like tics and anxiety are not random and how underlying issues like gut dysfunction, a dysregulated immune system, environmental toxins and genetics are the true drivers.Key Information 02:33 Discover why neurological symptoms like tics, ADHD and anxiety are not random and how these issues are linked to a dysregulated immune system and root causes beyond typical neurological labels.03:44 Parents often miss the underlying issues (like gut problems, genetics and toxicity) that conventional research overlooks. Learn why treatments must go beyond simple probiotics to address parasites, leaky gut and chronic inflammation.04:51 Understand the powerful and often-overlooked gut-brain axis. Dr Gibson explains how inflammation and leaky gut allow pathogens into the bloodstream, triggering immune cells in the brain and driving neurological symptoms.06:45 Dr Gibson outlines her protocol: first, clean up the environment and change the diet. She emphasizes that detoxing too early on an unsupported gut and body can actually worsen symptoms.10:19 Learn about the specific lab tests used to uncover root causes, including PCR stool pathogen tests, organic acids testing, tests for environmental toxins/heavy metals/mycotoxins (mold) and detailed genetic panels (MTHFR, methylation). 13:09 Genetics are not set in stone. Dr Gibson explains epigenetics, showing how parents can manipulate the child's environment (diet, toxins, supplements) to influence gene expression and effectively "turn off" symptomatic neurological genes. 27:16 #1 Tip: Dr Gibson's top initial tip is to drastically reduce inflammatory sugar and processed foods to immediately support the gut-brain connection and begin the healing process. Piper's Bio Dr Piper Gibson, PhD is a pioneering voice in functional and natural health, specializing in complex neurological conditions like tic disorders, ADHD, and anxiety in children. As the founder of Regenerating Health and the Tic Disorder Institute, she empowers families who are at the end of their rope, offering a research-backed, holistic approach that goes far beyond symptom management.

Welcome to the Personal Development Trailblazers Podcast! In today's episode, we're talking about how you can heal from burnout and trauma.Kristina McGahan is a Registered Nurse of 28 years and the creator of the Mind Over Matter Nursing Recovery Summit — a program dedicated to helping nurses heal from burnout on every level: mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical.After decades in cardiovascular care, telemetry, med-surg, progressive care, and management, Kristina found herself walking through her own season of deep burnout. She was carrying pain from home and trauma from the bedside at the same time. She pushed through like nurses always do, until God showed her that healing wasn't only possible — it was necessary.Out of her own recovery came a calling to help other nurses who feel exhausted, numb, anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who they used to be. She blends her clinical background with SoZo-based guided meditations, faith-led inner-healing work, nervous-system practices, and one-on-one coaching. Her approach goes beyond “coping” and focuses on identifying triggers, rewiring patterns, and restoring identity and joy.Kristina believes nurses don't have to leave the profession to heal — they just need the right support, the right tools, and the space to breathe again. Her mission is to walk alongside nurses worldwide as they rebuild themselves from the inside out.Connect with Kristina Here: Facebook.com/kristinacanyonhttps://instagram.com/kristinacanyonlinkedin.com/in/kristina-mcgahan-rn-bsn-lnc-41861052Grab the freebie here: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/form/zVHFCTZddSNiGpAqRCr5===================================If you enjoyed this episode, remember to hit the like button and subscribe.

Are you an empath or a highly sensitive woman struggling with persistent stress, anxiety, and trauma? In this episode we speak with MarBeth Dunn, a leading expert in somatic healing and intuitive energy mastery, and the author of Awaken the Healer Within.MarBeth, who healed her own severe asthma, shares her powerful journey of reconnecting with the body's wisdom to achieve health and emotional freedom. We explore how physical symptoms serve a purpose (protecting us from emotional conflict) and the danger of "pushing through" them.Key information01:44 Marbeth's healing journey was initially prompted by her struggle with severe asthma, which led to constant panicky sensations and an underlying belief that she could find and resolve the root cause.03:03 A pivotal early tool in her self-discovery was learning to use a pendulum to communicate with her subconscious mind, asking yes or no questions to uncover hidden emotions.07:47 A core philosophy is that physical symptoms serve a purpose, often protecting us from unprocessed emotional trauma or conflict. Removing the symptom prematurely can unleash heavy, unaddressed emotions.10:02 Safety first is the most crucial principle when addressing physical symptoms and trauma. One must listen to the body and ensure it feels safe before exploring deep issues to avoid resistance and worsening symptoms.12:56 Marbeth demonstrated healing a potential flu (grief-related) by moving into the feeling, extending love to it and letting it dissipate. Emotional feelings need to be acknowledged to resolve.14:19 Healing happens through love and acceptance, not fighting or striving against symptoms. This shifts the body into the parasympathetic state (rest and digest), promoting calm and healing.25:13 Somatic healing involves using body-based exercises (like rubbing the body, shaking/bouncing, dancing, singing) to naturally release stress and trauma, often without needing to revisit the emotional story.MarBeth Bio MarBeth Dunn is a leading expert in somatic healing and intuitive energy mastery. For over 35 years, she has helped empaths, sensitives and high-achieving women release stress, anxiety and trauma by reconnecting with their bodies and regulating their nervous systems.She is the author of Awaken the Healer Within: Overcome Stress, Anxiety and Illness. MarBeth was featured as a mentor in the movie “Bernie's Journey” and as an expert in the upcoming films “The Frequency of Miracles” “The Art of Manifestation” and “The Frequency of Longevity.” MarBeth's signature method blends somatic intelligence, energy work and spiritual insight, empowering others to heal from the inside out and create calm, clarity and emotional resilience in everyday life.Connect with MarBeth www.marbethdunn.comhttps://www.facebook.com/marbethdunn1https://www.instagram.com/marbethdunn/https://www.linkedin.com/in/marbethdunn/https://www.youtube.com/@MarbethDunn1Who am I?Sarah Dawkins is a passionate Holistic Health and Healing Coach, international speaker and author of Heal Yourself.

This week's special Thanksgiving episode of the En Factor features oncology nurse and book author Pamela Baptiste, who was a pleasure to have on the show. Pamela's journey began on the Caribbean island of Trinidad where her hardworking and resilient mindset was built by the positive and inspiring influence of her parents. She always wanted to be a nurse growing up, as she was inspired by the compassion and care that she saw from other nurses at a young age. Her lifelong dream became a reality after moving to New York for nursing school and becoming a registered nurse at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center where she spent more than 20 years working. Continuously driven by her passion for not only dealing with patients' symptoms and diseases, but also reinforcing their spirit and mindset, Pamela found her way to Tampa, Florida where she has been a RN for Moffit Cancer Center ever since. Throughout her professional journey and as you will hear throughout today's episode, Pamela's career and mission always has had gratitude, mentorship, and giving back at the forefront. These qualities and Pamela's inspiring journey of building her career coming from another country and working tirelessly all while raising her daughter led her to wanting to inspire and fuel the fire for other nurses that are on their own journeys. And one of the results of her philanthropic mindset was becoming an author and publishing her own book, The Flame Within, written to encourage and help guide aspiring and practicing nurses on their journeys. You won't want to miss a moment of Pamela's amazing story and impactful advice, as she and Dr. Rebecca White dig into topics of conversation including how her upbringing in Trinidad shaped her mission and mindset, technological factors that are driving more nurses to become entrepreneurial, and the importance of gratitude and giving back to others and your community.

Madilyn Sonter is a Registered Nurse based in Brisbane, Australia. Today on the podcast, I had the privilege of talking with Maddy about her business, The Functional Skin Studio, and how she is remaining compliant to the regulations in Queensland. Maddy and I discuss her pathway from Registered Nurse to business owner, mum to skin care developer. The ability to pivot in the cosmetic space is what keeps Maddy one step ahead of her competitors. However, it is her own lived experiences of acne, sensitive skin and gut that has enabled Maddy to look at the skin space differently. This has given her a unique perspective on how she treats and manages skin, acne and the gut. Maddy’s skin care range, The Functional Skin, is a green, clean and effective range for anyone who has had problematic skin. Add to this mix, two young boys, a house renovation, and you have one busy nurse!

This deeply emotional episode is dedicated to Kyler and Mackenzie, whose lives continue to inspire strength and resilience.To learn more about Adrienne's work, speaking, and her book The Almost Miracle Years, visit her website: http://adriennebender.com/

In this episode, I welcome back registered nurse, childbirth educator, and fitness professional Julie Tupler, founder of the Tupler Technique. Together, we explore how diastasis recti affects children — a condition commonly associated with pregnancy but often overlooked in kids. Julie shares how her evidence-based Tupler Technique can help strengthen the core, improve posture, and support healthy development from an early age. We discuss why some children develop diastasis recti, the link to digestive issues and poor posture, and how proper breathing and alignment can improve energy, growth, and even nervous-system function. Julie's new children's book Will You Be My Belly Buddy and companion video Belly Button Boogie make core healing fun for the whole family — encouraging parents and children to work together. Takeaways: Kids can also experience diastasis recti, not just adults. Strengthening the core improves posture, energy, and breathing. Family-based rehab can be fun, interactive, and effective.

Dr Driscoll, who is also the clinical director of POTS Care, the only clinic dedicated to treating the root cause of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), shares her story of being suddenly and severely disabled after a viral infection on today's episode. She recounts her frustrating search for answers, seeing over 50 doctors and enduring years of clinical trials only to be told her symptoms were "normal."

In this episode, Michael sits down with Kym to talk about how businesses can not only survive but thrive with artificial intelligence. After her company lost 80% of its revenue due to executive orders, Kym led a bold pivot into AI. She shares how her team automated workflows, cut costs, and freed up resources to launch new ventures. Michael points out why this kind of hands-on experience sets her apart in guiding other organizations through AI transformation. Why Strategy Matters Did you know that 95% of AI implementations fail? Michael and Kym dig into the reasons why. Too many organizations jump in without understanding their current systems, creating more chaos instead of solutions. The two stress the importance of starting with an AI audit—identifying inefficiencies and revenue leaks—before ever choosing a tool. AI and Organizational Insight Michael and Kym highlight the gap between executive views and front-line experiences. By listening to employees who work closest to the systems, leaders can uncover real bottlenecks and opportunities. They argue that AI should enhance processes, not replace people, and that smart adaptation to current economic conditions matters more than long-term guesswork. Addressing Employee Concerns Kym addresses the fear of AI taking jobs. Instead, she frames AI as a companion—augmenting employees' abilities and giving them space for creativity and productivity. Michael adds that when used wisely, AI helps businesses find new growth opportunities and sharpen their focus. Both stress the importance of thoughtful planning, privacy safeguards, and data responsibility. Technology's Broader Impact The conversation also explores how innovations like predictive analytics are already woven into everyday life, from mortgages to personalized ads. Michael emphasizes using technology to increase efficiency and create meaningful work, while also recognizing the ongoing debates around privacy and data use. Skills That Transfer Kym also shares how her background in nursing shaped her approach to consulting, underscoring the power of transferable skills. She encourages listeners to examine their own roles, projects, and metrics for growth opportunities. Michael closes by highlighting Kym's expertise and her commitment to helping businesses and communities adapt to an AI-driven world. About Kym Ali Kym Ali is an award-winning Registered Nurse, dynamic speaker, and CEO of Kym Ali Consulting, a boutique firm specializing in leadership development, workplace wellness, coaching, and AI-driven solutions for modern leaders. With more than 20 years of nursing experience — including five years abroad helping launch Qatar's first Women's and Children's Hospital — Kym brings a rare global perspective to building healthy, high-performing organizations. Her expertise has been trusted by federal agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and global institutions like the Department of Health and Human Services, Pfizer, Stanford University, and Meta, where she has consistently earned client satisfaction ratings above 96 percent. Recognized as a 2024 Enterprising Woman of the Year, recipient of a Maryland Governor Citation, and ranked among the Top 25 Speakers of 2023, Kym blends proven leadership strategies with AI innovation and wellness practices to help leaders prevent burnout, navigate uncertainty, and inspire engaged, motivated teams.
