🧠 Understanding Concussions: From Impact to Recovery

Duration: 3.5-Hour Educational Class +  Live Q&A
Audience: Open to both clinicians and the general public

Concussions are one of the most misunderstood injuries in medicine — and one of the most common. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, coach, athlete, parent, or simply someone interested in brain health, this immersive 3.5-hour course will give you a clear, science-based understanding of what actually happens when the brain is injured — and what truly promotes recovery.

Through an engaging mix of real-world case studies, live demonstrations, and actionable takeaways, you’ll learn how to recognize subtle concussion symptoms, understand the biological and biomechanical forces at play, and explore the emerging science on inflammation, gut-brain connection, hormone shifts, and neuroplasticity.

Clinicians will deepen their diagnostic and therapeutic toolkit — including up-to-date protocols for vestibular and visual rehab, autonomic regulation, and cognitive retraining. Non-clinicians will gain empowering, practical knowledge on how to support recovery at home, reduce re-injury risk, and recognize when “just rest” isn’t enough.

Topics include:

• What actually happens to the brain during a concussion

• The difference between mild traumatic brain injury and “just a bump”

• Chemical concussions: how inflammation, toxins, and metabolic dysfunction can mimic or worsen brain injury

• Genetic and epigenetic risk factors: why some people recover quickly while others struggle with lingering symptoms

• Diagnostic testing: from balance and visual tracking to biomarkers, neurocognitive testing, and advanced imaging — understanding what works and what doesn’t

• How inflammation, hormones, and gut health influence recovery

• Visual and vestibular dysfunction: why symptoms linger

• Nutrition and supplementation for neurorepair

• Sleep, exercise, and graded return-to-play strategies

• New frontiers: neuromodulation, photobiomodulation, and brain mapping

The session concludes with a live Q&A, where participants can ask personalized questions — from complex patient cases to what to do after a child’s sports injury.

By the end of the program, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of the brain’s resilience, practical strategies to optimize recovery, and a renewed respect for how powerful — and delicate — the human nervous system truly is.
