  • Summary

  • Content of our interview conversation:
    Brain Health - Concussion/mTBI
    - Super prevelent issue, more than most folks realize (studies show 1 in 2 people globally suffer TBI in their lifetime, and 70-90% of those are mTBI)
    - Physical, Cognitive, AND Emotional symptoms - Not just blacking out, ringing ears, and headaches.
    - Symptom recovery DOES NOT equal metabolic recovery - Takes 21-30days for brain energy levels to restore
    - Post-Concussion occurs in 30-40% of folks who don't receive tx (and even some who do receive Tx go onto PCS)
    - PCS can be due to: Autonomic, Metabolic/Hormonal, Visual/Vestbiular, Cervical, or Psychological issues.
    - "Rest until your symptoms go away" is bullshit, possibly harmful, advice.
    - With COVID, I've been pressured to find ways to successfully help folks virtually (65% of my practice has moved online since COVID began).
    - Using several apps, including EQ Brain, to help folks from home
    - Nutrition, Movement, Mindset are the centerpiece to Tx whether in-office or virtual.
