Dr. Ken Cooper, a leader in concussion recovery, joins the Vibrant Wellness Podcast to introduce his innovative "Concussion CPR" protocol. When his daughter faced a traumatic brain injury, Dr. Cooper pioneered a method that combines chiropractic care with neurological exercises to support brain recovery. Through impactful case examples, including a rugby player who regained movement after paralysis, Dr. Cooper underscores the critical role of early intervention and the powerful link between concussions and gut health.
Dr. Cooper explains practical aspects of his protocol, from using cold lasers to leveraging neuroplasticity. He highlights the risks of conventional pain relievers, like Tylenol, which may hinder the brain's natural recovery process, and instead advocates for non-pharmaceutical pain management strategies. Addressing the long-term effects of heavy metal toxins, he emphasizes the importance of protecting brain health at every age.
Dr. Cooper is dedicated to reshaping concussion treatment through education—informing healthcare professionals, coaches, and caregivers about best practices. He discusses his commitment to fostering cross-specialty collaboration to improve concussion care and his efforts to inform parents and sports communities.

Join us on the Vibrant Wellness Podcast as we delve into the growing challenge of autoimmune diseases with our special guest, Dr. Jay Goodbinder. As a chiropractic physician and functional medicine practitioner, Dr. Goodbinder shares his journey of overcoming psoriatic arthritis—an experience that inspired his medical career. We explore the limitations of conventional medicine, often described as a "quick-fix" approach, and the increasing prevalence of autoimmune diseases worldwide. Nearly half of the population now faces chronic disease, highlighting the need for functional medicine’s personalized strategies, including tailored nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, detox protocols, and hormone balance.
Our conversation shifts to the microbiome's critical role in health, starting with childbirth. We discuss the impact of birth methods on a newborn's microbiome and how minimal medical interventions can lead to long-term health benefits. The discussion also touches on the balance between adaptive and innate immunity, especially in the context of the COVID vaccine, and the pivotal role of gut health, liver function, and detoxification. We explore how modern lifestyle factors, like gallbladder removal and alcohol consumption, complicate these systems.
In the final segment, we discuss the importance of individualized supplementation. Dr. Goodbinder introduces his supplement line, Life Support, designed to deliver essential nutrients and promote overall health.
