PART 1 All of us probably believe and understand that how someone moves and walks is hugely informative. People are exuding all this information about their health status, but we don't measure it and obviously a core treatment of rehabilitation is how people move. We don't actually routinely measure that and the reason is that we need...

Part 1
Today’s topic is something none of us got in medical school. What makes her successful in treating her patients is having this approach, sort of a 180-360 approach to nutritional status among the head-neck , vestibular balance, and everything else we do. When a concussion occurs, we often have disruption of the blood-brain barrier. There also is inflammation. Ultimately, there can be cell death. We have an opportunity for nutritional repair in concussions. There is an energy crisis in the brain. We need to increase the brain’s need for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients. We will discuss in this presentation how to get that into a person’s brain or diet and look at why diet matters.
