They told her to spank her child. For tics. For neurological symptoms that weren't behavioral at all.
Welcome back to What Am I Modeling! Today I'm joined by Dr. Piper Gibson, Doctor of Holistic Nutrition and Medicine and Tic Disorder Specialist, who helps families worldwide uncover the root causes of neurological conditions in children—from Tourette's and tics to PANS/PANDAS.
In this eye-opening conversation, we explore:
✨ Why observational assessments often miss underlying neurological issues
✨ The dangerous misconceptions about ”behavioral problems” in children
✨ How misinterpretation of symptoms leads to harmful parenting advice
✨ The critical difference between neurological conditions and behavioral issues
✨ Why spanking (or punishment) is NEVER appropriate for neurological symptoms
✨ How to advocate for your child when professionals get it wrong
✨ The collaborative approach parents need with healthcare providers
Dr. Piper Gibson is the founder of Regenerating Health and the Tic Disorder Institute, combining advanced functional lab testing, nutrigenomics, and customized protocols to naturally reverse symptoms. Her work has been featured at MAPS, A4M, and across major functional medicine platforms. Driven by both personal experience and professional expertise, Dr. Gibson is known for her direct, data-driven approach—and her mission to help kids thrive by empowering parents with answers, not guesswork.
Whether you're parenting a child with neurological challenges, navigating confusing medical advice, or advocating for proper diagnosis and care, this conversation offers validation and actionable insights into what's really happening when behavior isn't what it seems.
