EP 21: Persistent Symptoms and the Battery


Listen Later

Ever wonder why simple tasks that used to be a breeze now leave you feeling completely drained and exhausted?

If you're on a healing journey after a concussion or supporting someone in that process, you might be experiencing the frustration of persistent symptoms and wondering why daily activities are suddenly so much harder.

Imagine your brain as a well-functioning highway, smoothly transporting information. Now, throw in the detour of a concussion. Suddenly, the familiar route is disrupted, tasks become unpredictable, and your energy drains faster. The battery analogy helps illustrate this: waking up with less than a full charge and tasks depleting it even more.

In this episode, you'll learn:

👉 The impact of a concussion on your brain's efficiency.

👉 Why simple tasks can now be energy-draining.

👉 Strategies to recharge your "battery" throughout the day.

👉 The importance of an integrative assessment for a tailored recovery plan.

Understanding the dynamics of your brain post-concussion is crucial in navigating the healing journey. Tune in, and let's explore ways to recharge, recover, and get back to the activities you love.
