A Comprehensive, Holistic Approach for Concussion Management and Prevention

Managing concussions remains a complex challenge in sports medicine and healthcare. While the current standard of care primarily involves rest and symptomatic management, emerging research suggests that active recovery and specific nutritional and hormonal strategies may expedite concussion recovery.

Join Dr. Micheal Lewis, author of When Brains Collide is the president and founder of the Brain Health Education and Research Institute and a leading expert on nutritional interventions for brain health, particularly the use of omega-3 fatty acids for the prevention, management, and rehabilitation of concussions and traumatic brain injury (TBI).

In this talk, you will learn about:

• The intricate mechanisms underlying the potential benefits of targeted nutritional interventions, including nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and adaptogens and their potential to modulate neuroinflammation, enhance neuroprotection, and facilitate neurorepair following a concussion.

• The importance of customized exercise and dietary guidance and diligent monitoring for safety, feasibility, and effectiveness is emphasized.

• The role of the pituitary gland in brain injuries will be elucidated, how to evaluate, and what to do to address dysfunction.

The landscape of concussion management is evolving and emphasizes the pivotal role of nutritional and pituitary therapies as a therapeutic approach. This underscores the importance of acknowledging these strategies in the multifaceted domain of concussion management and prevention.
