Have you ever heard of the four Ps of recovery? Plan, pace, place, and prioritize!

One of the biggest problems for concussion survivors is the loss of feeling like themselves. Today, we are joined by Dr. Cheryl Mitchell, a physical therapist who specializes in concussions and post-concussion syndrome. Dr. Mitchell suffered for five years after experiencing a concussion and was dissatisfied with the treatment (or lack thereof) that she received at the time. She has made it her mission to educate and treat concussions to ensure that survivors can recover and get back to being themselves as soon as possible!

For many people, the journey to researching and treating post-concussion survivors is a personal one. Dr. Greig Andrews is no different, and today he talks about how his experiences treating athletes and his loved ones led him to the field of functional neurology with a special interest in post-concussion syndrome. Tune in to learn about the link between physical brain injuries and mental health, and how TBIs affect a child's brain. From the biological differences between men and women that predispose women to more severe symptoms, to how toxic masculinity is shaming men into silence about their own struggles, this episode contains a wealth of information. We wrap up with an overview of how other underlying conditions can affect your perception of your symptoms, and how emotions and brain injuries are closely linked. For all this and so much more, tune in today.

The system that we are a part of is, unfortunately, not victim-focused. Today’s guest, personal injury lawyer Jeff Moorley, knows this better than most, and he has positioned himself on the side of brain injury victims to assist them in getting the help they are so often denied. It is commonly stated that the average concussion survivor takes two weeks, to a few months to get back to 100% function, but we know that many people suffer from post-concussion symptoms for many, many years. Just like there is no quick-fix for post-concussion syndrome, there is no quick-fix on the legal side of things either, but it’s well worth your time to find a lawyer who can help you fight for what you deserve!

We know our bodies better than anyone else does, and that’s why it’s so important that we advocate for ourselves. Today’s guest, Pam Treischel, is a scuba diver, underwater photographer, and ambassador for the Inland Ocean Coalition who suffered a concussion she had no memory of after the fact. Following the injury, Pam found herself at an all-time low, before being referred to a functional chiropractic neurologist who still works with her to get her in shape to continue her life’s passion, which is diving. 

Pam shares how her injury has impacted her work and personal relationships in a big way, including the guilt she feels about gaps in her memory and a reduced capacity for connection and involvement. In closing, we explore why it is so important to take responsibility for your own healing journey. Join us to hear her story today.

The physical and cognitive symptoms of sport-related concussions are widely spoken about, but less is known about the psychosocial symptoms that athletes experience post-concussion, which today’s guest believes are equally important. Today, you’ll hear from Dr. Jeff Caron, an assistant professor at the University of Montréal. His research focuses on better understanding the psychosocial aspects of sport-related concussions and seeks to answer two main questions: how can we most effectively share concussion information with members of the sports community? And which psychosocial strategies can assist athletes as they return to sport, school, and daily life? 

In this episode, Dr. Caron offers some insight into the psychosocial symptoms of sport-related concussions, including feelings of isolation and fear, and we discuss how best to support athletes in their recovery, whether that means returning to sport or making a career transition. Tune in today to learn more!

If you’re living with post-concussion syndrome and wondering about what’s actually going on in your brain that is making you experience the world differently than you did before your concussion, this episode is for you!

Today’s guest is Dr. Michael Lovich, a concussion survivor who has dedicated his career to improving the lives of those struggling with post-concussion syndrome. Michael has tested out numerous different types of therapies, and has built up a wealth of evidence-based knowledge around the most effective treatment strategies. We discuss everything from the importance of nutrition when dealing with post-concussion syndrome to the physical and emotional manifestations in your body of overfiring neurons in your brain. As Michael notes, learning to manage the after-effects of a concussion can be a very lengthy process, but if you are equipped with the right kind of information, you can learn to live the way you want to once again!
