Did you know that nearly half of all Americans will experience at least one traumatic brain injury (TBI) in their lifetime? Shockingly, many of these cases go unnoticed or undiagnosed. The symptoms can initially be subtle and easily mistaken for other chronic conditions like CPTS. Without proper diagnosis, individuals can face immense confusion, wondering why treatments aren’t working as expected. This is why raising awareness about TBI is crucial. It’s about helping those affected recognize their condition early on, gaining deeper self-understanding, and finding the right path to effective treatment.
In today’s episode, we are joined by Amanda Smith, an applied neurology pain and performance coach and NSI practitioner with extensive expertise in the field. Together,we dive into the complex layers of TBI. We cover its foundational aspects, how it differs from conditions like CPTS, its impact on childhood development, and the brain’s altered nutritional needs post-injury.
This conversation sheds light on a topic often overlooked yet profoundly impactful in many Americans’ lives. Awareness is half the battle when it comes to identifying and treating TBI amidst the array of potential health concerns, including CPTS. Our brains and bodies are resilient, and with timely intervention, coping with TBI is not only possible but hopeful.
