My youngest got his first concussion at age 3.

After this interview, I’m wondering if another child of mine has some post-concussion symptoms that we never realized had to do with a knock on the head!

This interview is for parents of contact sport athletes FOR SURE but also anyone who wants to strengthen their family’s brain health.

What’s brain health? It’s the development of your kids’ brains, the avoidance of cognitive decline as we age (yes please!), and everyone’s mental health.

Here’s a little peek at what you’ll learn:

  • Why a brain after a concussion is a bit like a sprained ankle
  • How many patients are surprised that their daily symptoms end up being connected to an unresolved concussion in their past!
  • What modern conventional medicine gets wrong about concussions (spoiler: not much right at all!)
  • The worst possible thing to do (and the second worst) for concussion recovery
  • A shocking fact about the CT scan you’ll get in the ER after a concussion
  • Connections from brain health to mental health
  • A GOLDEN 30-second process you need to put your kids through at the beginning of every contact sport season (I’m going to start telling everyone this!)
  • How to make any exercise (and even cooking with kids!) into a brain exercise

Your science geek brain and your practical brain will be so happy to learn all this information! With kids, it feels like it’s not a matter of IF your family will experience a concussion, but WHEN. Be ready with knowledge, and start to build your family’s brain health NOW, because like Dr. Zimmerman says: “The stronger you go into something, the better you’ll be coming out of it.”
