Ep 153 Tics, Triggers & Transformations: A Root Cause Approach to Neurological Wellness in Kids with Piper Gibson

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.

Through advanced lab testing, genetics, and personalized nutrition, she helps uncover the root causes of children’s health challenges. Dr Gibson’s work blends deep scientific understanding with a compassionate, supportive framework, giving parents a roadmap to help their kids thrive—naturally.

Ep 152 I Was a Pastry Chef Addicted To Sugar: Here's How I Finally Broke Free with Frank Wright

In this transformative episode, I speak with guest Frank Wright, a naturopathic practitioner and former pastry chef who radically healed his decades-long struggles with depression, anxiety, ADHD and addiction (including severe sugar addiction) using the carnivore diet.


Frank, who spent 13 years battling mental health challenges while surrounded by sugar in London's finest kitchens, shares his vulnerable journey from heavy drug and alcohol use to profound sobriety and mental clarity. He details how replacing a whole-food, high-carbohydrate diet with a nutrient-dense, zero-carb, animal-based approach provided the therapeutic ketosis and bioavailable nutrients necessary for deep healing.

Frank´s Bio

Frank Wright is a naturopathic practitioner and former pastry chef who transformed his life through the carnivore diet after decades of struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction.


Having worked in some of London's finest restaurants, including the Ritz, Berkeley, and Michelin-starred establishments, Frank spent 13 years surrounded by sugar while battling mental health challenges that began in childhood. After trying everything from veganism to extensive biohacking protocols, Frank discovered carnivore nutrition and experienced a complete mental health transformation within 48 hours.


Now he helps others break free from sugar addiction and reclaim their mental clarity through his Sugar Reset Community and coaching practice. Frank's story demonstrates the powerful connection between nutrition and mental health, particularly for those with neurodivergent conditions.

Ep 151 Awaken the Healer Within: Through Somatic Healing & Intuitive Energy Mastery with MarBeth Dunn

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 information


01:44 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.

Ep 150 From Crohn's to Clarity with Johnny Miller

In this episode of the Heal Yourself podcast, I sit down with Johnny Miller to hear his incredible story of going from a health expert to near-death and how he finally healed by addressing the "resistance" in his nervous system.

He reveals the critical link between chronic stress, the lymphatic system, and the vagus nerve that most doctors overlook.

Johnny now teaches others how to heal by integrating somatic movement, lymphatic therapy and breathwork into their exercise routines, turning their workouts into a powerful healing practice.

If you feel stuck in a cycle of chronic illness, fear and failed diets, this conversation is a must-watch.

🎧 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

01:46 Johnny's shocking story of developing severe Crohn's colitis at his peak physical health.

03:55 Why popular healing diets (AIP, Carnivore, etc.) failed him and only increased his fear.

13:40 What "hyper-sympathetic dominance" (chronic fight-or-flight) is and how it drives inflammation.

21:00 How Johnny healed while eating Oreo cookies—proving the power of the parasympathetic nervous system.

28:49 Practical tools (somatic movement, breathwork, vibration) to "flip the switch" from stress to healing.

26:33 How to turn your life's greatest traumas into a "slingshot" for growth and recovery.

40:29 The concept of "Radical Acceptance" and finding 10% more enjoyment in your life right now.

59:19 Johnny's #1 tip for anyone suffering from chronic illness (it has to do with the news).


Johnny's bio

When Johnny began his career in Health & Wellness 20 years ago, he never imagined the journey that would lead him to where he is today. He had built a thriving practice as a personal trainer and gym owner, helping people overcome chronic pain, injuries, and surgeries through exercise and nutrition, always encouraging an active, holistic lifestyle.However, despite his best efforts and resources, he couldn't avoid illness himself.

In 2018, he became severely sick with chronic inflammation in the form of Crohn's Colitis. At one point, he thought this disease would take everything from him, including his life. He had no idea that it would ultimately give him a life far greater than anything he had experienced before.

He now sees his experience with autoimmune disease as the greatest blessing of his life. It has shown him that there are greater forces at play in our well-being beyond just diet and exercise. His journey has given him the tools to help others, as well as himself, in ways he never could have imagined. He now sees life is an incredible journey, and he believes wholeheartedly that life's toughest challenges provide us with the greatest opportunities for growth. He says that every day he is thankful for his life and his experience, which now allows him to help so many others.

Key Points

02:02 Growing Up with Cerebral Palsy Meilin shares her personal background with cerebral palsy (CP). She discusses what it was like growing up, from feeling "looked at different" to finding strength and acceptance, and how this shaped her profound relationship with her body.

Ep 148 Living Young, Dying Old. Secrets to Strengthen Purpose & Vitality at 84

Discover an incredible story of survival and thriving on the Heal Yourself podcast as I interview 84-year-old John A. Brink, who went from surviving Nazi-occupied Holland to becoming a CEO, philanthropist and the oldest competitive bodybuilder in North America. John reveals his secrets to health, longevity and a powerful mindset, including the daily routines and diet that keep him thriving and why he considers his late-in-life ADHD diagnosis a "superpower." This is a must-listen for inspiration on resilience, health and aging without fear.Time Stamps 11:04 A Daily Gratitude Mindset: John starts every day at 5:30 AM by going outside and declaring, "I'm in paradise." He emphasizes that counting his blessings and maintaining a positive, grateful attitude is a critical part of his mental and emotional wellness.13:55 A Life-Threatening Wake-Up Call: A severe case of diverticulitis in 2008 became a major turning point for his health. The condition breached, causing toxins to spread and his doctor later told him he "came this close" to death. He took this as a "message" to get serious about his health.15:17 Proactive Diet Transformation: Following his health crisis, John became more proactive, adopting his wife's more vegetarian-focused lifestyle and moving from an "80/20" to a "90/10" approach to healthy eating.15:41 Embracing Fitness in His Late 60s: John became serious about personal fitness.

Ep 147 Healing Real and Emotional (TMS) Injuries with PJ Glassey

Have you ever felt trapped by chronic pain with no clear physical cause?


What if the key to healing wasn't in a pill, but locked within your mind?


In this episode, I sit down with exercise science expert PJ Glassey, to explore the incredible world of mind-body healing. PJ shares his journey of overcoming debilitating back pain and a severe fractured collar bone, by harnessing the principles of brain rewiring, neuroplasticity and the ground-breaking work of Dr. John Sarno on TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome).


Time stamps


05:50 - The Mind-Body Connection: PJ introduces Dr. John Sarno and his work on how the brain creates physical pain (TMS) to distract from emotions.


19:51 - Heal Faster Than Expected: PJ receives a nine-month recovery prognosis for his broken clavicle and decides to challenge it, setting his own expectation to heal faster.


33:35 - Simple Brain Rewiring Techniques: PJ explains how to use EFT (tapping) as a shortcut to distinguish between emotional and physical pain.


37:10 - Communicate with Your Subconscious: PJ shares his simple technique of talking to his subconscious mind (who he calls "Timmy") as a loving parent to release pain.


38:08 - The Power of Belief: When asked for his single most important tip, PJ explains why belief and expectation are the keys to unlocking your body's ability to heal.


40:33 - Overcoming the Nocebo Effect: PJ discusses how negative medical prognoses can become self-fulfilling prophecies and why it's crucial to take back your power.


PJ's bio

PJ started personal training in 1987 and successfully grew his business over the following 11 years, training clients in their homes and at local area gyms. With the help of these clients as test subjects, and armed with his degree in Exercise Science, PJ invented his “multi-protocol” concept and refined it through 1998, when he founded the X Gym. He is also the author of the book "Cracking Your Calorie Code" and the inventor of his Brain Type Test, which helps people achieve health and fitness results much faster through specific brain wiring techniques tailored to their unique brain type. PJ’s extensive research into brain science to develop his brain rewiring techniques also helped him through his own healing experiences, which could have been permanently disabling, had he not gone on this personal research and discovery path.

Ep 146 From Patient to Healer: How I recovered from Chronic Illness with Dr Diana Driscoll

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."

Ep 144 Microdosing for Healing: Reconnecting with Your Body's Innate Wisdom

Today I sit down with Kayse Garrett, the visionary founder of Microdosing for Healing, a global movement dedicated to exploring emotional and spiritual transformation through intentional microdosing.


Kayse, a healing arts practitioner with nearly 30 years of experience, shares her incredible personal journey of overcoming a lifelong seizure disorder. She reveals how she healed at the root level by working with psychedelic earth medicines, specifically mushrooms, in sub-perceptual doses.


In this powerful conversation, you'll learn:


01:36 Kayse shares how she transitioned from pre-med studies to the healing arts and discovered microdosing, which led to the unexpected and profound healing of her seizure disorder.


04:11 Kayse explains what microdosing is, defining it as taking small, sub-perceptual doses of psychedelic medicine like mushrooms without feeling altered or "trippy."


07:11 The safety of mushroom microdosing, non-addictive and non-toxic and the "side effect" of enhanced emotional awareness as a pathway to healing.


09:22 The common misconceptions about microdosing and reframing it from a "drug" to a "relational medicine" that can make you feel more grounded and centred.


11:27 The personal healing process, how microdosing resets the nervous system leading to the complete cessation of seizures.


14:26 The concept of innate healing potential within everyone and how microdosing can help heal not just individuals but also the collective by creating a more healed society.


16:55 Kayse shares what qualities she looks for in aspiring microdosing guides, emphasizing the importance of a personal relationship with the medicine and a diverse life experience.


19:26 Practical advice for those new to the concept, seek education and connect with supportive communities, rather than just relying on online information.


21:13 Reflecting on her own healing journey, Kayse shares the process of "undoing" and receiving rather than hard work and hustling.


Kayse's Bio

Kayse Gehret is the founder of Microdosing for Healing, a global movement helping thousands of individuals explore personal growth and emotional well-being through intentional microdosing. With nearly 30 years in the healing arts, she has guided over 1,400 people in 30+ countries and now trains the next generation of practitioners through her Professional Microdosing Facilitator Program. A certified practitioner in Reiki, breathwork, and multiple somatic therapies, Kayse blends science with spirituality to help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and unlock their innate healing capacity. Her own journey of overcoming a lifelong seizure disorder through microdosing inspired her mission to make transformation safe, accessible, and empowering.

Ep 139 How The Carnivore Way of Eating Saved My Life with Jonathan Johannessen

In today's episode of Heal Yourself with Sarah Dawkins, Jonathan shares his story as a powerful testament to the body's ability to heal itself when given the right nutrition. He recounts a lifetime of struggling with both physical and mental ailments, including hallucinations, sleep paralysis and Raynaud's disease. He tried many conventional approaches, but none offered a lasting solution. It wasn't until he intuitively began eliminating fruits and vegetables and focusing on animal-based foods, without even knowing what a carnivore diet was, that he started to see a dramatic turnaround.


Jonathan’s journey is particularly resonant with young people who are silently struggling with similar conditions. He emphasizes the importance of going back to a more natural way of living and listening to the body’s signals. He also highlights the contrast between his experience and the common advice of using medications to mask symptoms, noting how a simple blood test showed his perfect health after adopting his new diet, much to his doctor's surprise.

This episode isn't just about a diet; it's about a holistic approach to health and a return to foundational principles. Jonathan’s story challenges the modern dietary narrative and offers hope to those who feel they've exhausted all options. His passion is to spread this message, particularly to a younger generation misguided by trends and quick fixes.

Time stamps


00:00 Introduction

07:03 The standard low-fat diet, how it initially improved his health but ultimately made his symptoms worse, leading him to his lowest point.

09:07 Discover the wide range of physical and mental health struggles; depression, anxiety, IBS, Raynaud's disease, hallucinations and sleep paralysis.

14:12 Rock bottom with a severe IBS attack was the catalyst that drove him to take radical action.

29:03 Perfect blood test results on a carnivore diet but the doctor’s skeptical and ultimately dismissive, reaction.

37:17 Fibre-free diet helped alleviate constipation and other gut issues, challenging the common belief that fibre is essential for health.

42:07 A tip for those struggling with their health is to eliminate processed foods and focus on eating simple, single-ingredient foods.



Jonathan's Bio

Jonathan is a 24-year-old Norwegian who struggled with a long list of health issues, including IBS, anxiety, weight issues, addictions, hallucinations, sleep paralysis, Raynaud’s and depression. In 2023 Jonathan hit rock bottom. After a major IBS attack, he started experimenting with food and eventually found his way to the carnivore lifestyle without even knowing it existed. This way of eating has completely transformed his physical and mental health and now he’s passionate about spreading the message to others, especially young people who are silently struggling like he was.
