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.
