Episode 31 
In this week’s Concussion Fix Q&A episode, join Dr. Paul Hrkal, Melinda Krynen Hill, and Dr. Cameron Marshall as they share insights and strategies for managing persistent concussion symptoms. Tackling some of the most common and most frustrating questions that members face during recovery. 
If you've been experiencing symptom spikes, inconsistent progress, anxiety about setbacks, or confusion about how hard to push, this episode brings clarity and reassurance.

The discussion breaks down how stress, sleep, autonomic dysregulation, inflammation, and mindset all contribute to ongoing symptoms. 

Explaining why recovery is rarely linear, how to avoid the boom–bust cycle, and how to interpret symptoms without fear. 

Going over perspective from the support side, helping members understand what’s normal and what’s not as they move through the program.
