Are you experiencing prolonged concussion symptoms without understanding why? Do you know the potential impact of your menstrual cycle on concussion recovery?

In this episode, you'll learn:

👉 The role of progesterone withdrawal in exacerbating concussion symptoms.

👉 How the timing of a concussion within the menstrual cycle can influence recovery.

👉 The potential impact of hormonal contraception on concussion recovery and cognitive function.
