Bobby Schindler of the Life & Hope Network joins Matt Swaim to discuss billionaire Bill Ackman’s decision to invest nearly $4 billion in a new institute dedicated to brain health, rehabilitation, recovery, human optimization, and longevity. Ackman’s personal experience following his daughter Lucy’s devastating brain injury inspired him to help other families facing similar circumstances. Bobby explains why this investment offers renewed hope for people with catastrophic brain injuries and could challenge the tendency to give up on patients too quickly. The conversation also explores human dignity, medical research, and the importance of putting resources toward helping people recover rather than simply accepting the limitations of today’s medicine.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah interviews Larry, a former football player and PhD in exercise physiology, about his worsening anxiety, depression, and cognitive symptoms after years of collision sports and a 2010 diagnosis of significant brain damage. After meeting CTE researcher Ann McKee in Boston and learning of near-infrared light research at the VA, Larry entered a study using a near-infrared headset and reports major improvements in mood, PTSD measures, cognition, and MRI functional connectivity, with symptoms returning when he stopped and improving again on a home device. He describes subsequent research in first responders and a season-long BYU football study comparing sham vs active headsets, reporting broad gains in performance measures and MRI indicators showing inflammation increases in controls but a net loss of inflammation and better axon health in treated players. Larry discusses practical use (20 minutes, typically mornings, three to five days weekly) and argues the approach is disease-modifying and relevant for athletes, veterans, and others.— BLUEPRINT INFO session - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/blueprint-live-info-sessionBlueprint sign up here - (closes August 24) - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/ExuLzY2G/checkoutVielight - code SARAHK for a discount - http://www.vielight.com/devices_________Sponsored By:VIVARAYS  -Go to www.vivarays.com/sarah and use code SARAH at checkout.

WHO THIS EPISODE HELPS: People grieving who they were before a traumatic brain injury, life-changing accident or major loss, along with the families and caregivers supporting them through trauma recovery.WHAT LISTENERS WILL GET: An honest conversation about identity loss, grief, therapy, post-traumatic growth, dark humor and rebuilding a meaningful life when returning to the old version of yourself is no longer possible.DESCRIPTION:After a near-fatal motorcycle crash, Nicholas Ruchlewicz woke up to a life he did not recognize and a brain that no longer worked the way he expected. In this episode of Grief Is Not A Dirty Word, he joins Nick to talk about traumatic brain injury, identity loss and the rarely acknowledged grief of mourning your former self. Nicholas shares why losing his ability to focus and solve problems was more frightening than his physical injuries, and how years of therapy helped him face guilt, anger and the pressure to become who he had been before. He explains the question that shifted his perspective: What gifts did your trauma give you? Their conversation also explores dark humor as a survival tool, the value of peer support and why every person's grief remains valid without comparison. Nicholas describes becoming “beyond 100%” not because every symptom disappeared, but because his recovery allowed him to stand beside other trauma survivors. This is a candid conversation about healing after trauma, reclaiming your story and realizing that a changed identity is not a lost identity.This episode answers:·         How do you grieve the person you were before a traumatic brain injury?·         How can a traumatic brain injury change your identity and personality?·         Can therapy help with grief and depression after a life-changing accident?·         How do you rebuild your life when you cannot return to who you were before?·         Why does humor help people cope with trauma, grief and chronic pain?Key Takeaways:·         Grief can include mourning your former identity, abilities and imagined future while you are still alive.·         Healing does not require erasing what trauma took away or forcing yourself to call the experience a blessing.·         Therapy can help uncover the fear, guilt and frustration beneath anger while challenging you to see your story from a different perspective.·         Humor can reduce trauma's power and give survivors a sense of control over experiences they never chose.·         Recovery is not always a return to an old baseline; purpose, advocacy and connection can create a life that is different and still deeply meaningful.Connect with Nicholas RuchlewiczLinktree / complete resource hub: https://linktr.ee/giftofperspectiveInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/npr_nerd/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NPR_NerdSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/31vgmhbu654nulf6pcfso4khw6i4Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicholas.ruchlewicz/Email: giftsinperspective@gmail.comSameYou survivor portrait, “A Gift of Perspective”: https://www.sameyou.org/portrait_nicholas_rTrauma Survivors Network guest feature: https://www.traumasurvivorsnetwork.org/guest-appearance-surviving-the-impact/EMPOWERED Voices: Recovery to ResiliencyA heartfelt podcast series that brings to light the challenges and triumphs of...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showGIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS! FOLLOW US ON APPLE OR YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST PLATFORM! BOOKMARK OUR WEBSITE: www.griefisnotadirtyword.com FOLLOW OUR DEAD DADS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/griefisnotadirtyword Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/griefisnotadirtyword TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@griefisnotadirtywordYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmv6sdmMIys3GDBjiui3kw LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-gaylord/

The Hidden Danger of Carbon Monoxide: Proving Exposure, Brain Injury & Liability with Sam Cannon

Emerging Litigation Podcast

Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the most dangerous—and most overlooked—sources of catastrophic injury. Because it's odorless, colorless, and often mistaken for the flu, victims may not realize they've been exposed until long after the evidence has begun to disappear. That reality creates unique challenges not only for families, but also for the attorneys trying to prove what happened. In this episode, I speak with Sam Cannon of Cannon Law about the complexities of carbon monoxide poisoning litigation and why these cases often involve far more than a faulty appliance. We discuss how deferred maintenance, inadequate safety practices, and layered ownership structures can combine to create dangerous living conditions—and why proving liability often requires identifying multiple responsible parties. Sam also explains the science behind carbon monoxide exposure, why injuries can be difficult to diagnose, and how advanced imaging, toxicology, atmospheric readings, and expert testimony help establish both exposure and long-term brain injury. We also explore common defense strategies, the critical role of expert witnesses, and why these cases frequently become battles over causation as much as negligence. Whether you're a plaintiff attorney, defense lawyer, insurance professional, or simply interested in how invisible hazards become complex litigation, this conversation offers practical insights into one of the most technically challenging areas of personal injury law.Jump in to hear Sam's perspective on carbon monoxide litigation, proving brain injury, and the litigation strategies that shape these high-stakes cases.Thanks to Sam Cannon for joining me and sharing his experience and insights into this important—and often overlooked—area of litigation.______________________________________Thanks for listening! If you like what you hear please give us a rating.

Rebeccah Wolfkiel and Jill Ferrington from the National Association of State Head Injury Administrators (NASHIA), discuss the connection between brain injuries and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The guests explain that many individuals receive IDD services because of brain injuries sustained during childhood, while others with IDD may be at increased risk for brain injuries later in life due to factors such as seizures, falls, mobility challenges, and medication side effects. They highlight research showing that adults with IDD experience traumatic brain injuries at significantly higher rates than the general population and emphasize the importance of screening, early identification, and brain injury–informed supports. The discussion focuses on practical strategies for caregivers and case managers, including the use of validated screening tools, memory aids, structured routines, trauma-informed care, and personalized support plans. The speakers also stress the need for stronger collaboration between brain injury and IDD service systems, better documentation of brain injury histories, preventive measures to reduce future injuries, and increased awareness that simple accommodations can greatly improve quality of life and community integration for affected individuals.

In this powerful conversation, Andrew joins Nick to explore the grief that comes from losing a future, an identity, and a version of yourself that never fully came to exist. Together they discuss traumatic brain injury recovery, ambiguous loss, anticipatory grief, and the emotional challenges of rebuilding life after trauma. Andrew also shares his experience becoming a full-time caregiver after his mother's ALS diagnosis and the lessons he learned while helping her create joy during the final years of her life. Throughout the conversation, Andrew offers profound insights about resilience, uncertainty, purpose, and healing. This episode is a reminder that grief is not limited to death and that growth can emerge even from life's most unexpected losses.This episode answers: What is ambiguous grief and how does it affect identity after trauma?  How do you grieve the life you thought you were going to have?  What is anticipatory grief and how do caregivers experience it?  How can someone find purpose after a traumatic brain injury or major life change?  What helps people rebuild their lives after loss, trauma, and uncertainty? Key Takeaways: Grief can stem from the loss of identity, future plans, and life expectations.  Ambiguous loss often creates unique challenges because there is no clear ending or resolution.  Caregiving can be both emotionally difficult and deeply meaningful.  Healing rarely follows a straight line and often requires patience and self-compassion.  Purpose and fulfillment can emerge in unexpected ways when people remain open to new possibilities.CHECK OUT ANDREW'S PAGES:FACEBOOK:  https://www.facebook.com/adavieauthor INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/adavieauthor TWITTER/X:  https://x.com/adavieauthor WEBSITE:  https://www.andrew-davie.comSupport the showGIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS! FOLLOW US ON APPLE OR YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST PLATFORM! BOOKMARK OUR WEBSITE: www.griefisnotadirtyword.com FOLLOW OUR DEAD DADS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/griefisnotadirtyword Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/griefisnotadirtyword TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@griefisnotadirtywordYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmv6sdmMIys3GDBjiui3kw LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-gaylord/

Send us Fan Mail Rock bottom isn't always a disaster you can point to. Sometimes it's a quiet car ride, a crying child in the back seat, and the sick realization that you can't even afford a two-dollar comfort. That's the moment Ryan Castleberry, an Air Force veteran and father, shares with me and it's where his rebuild truly begins. After a motorcycle accident and brain injury changed what his body could do, he had to face a deeper loss: the identity he'd built around being strong, capable, and in control.  We talk honestly about the kind of pain people hide behind “I'm fine” including financial stress, relationship fallout, and the way parenthood can amplify shame when you feel like you're failing. Ryan opens up about pushing away someone he loved, the messy reality of recovery, and why therapy became the place where the real work started. You'll hear how rehab humbled him, how learning to do what he could when he could became a turning point, and why progress rarely looks like a clean upward line.  Ryan also shares a practical framework he calls the 30 Day Climb, built on small, consistent action rather than crash diets, short-lived motivation, or all-or-nothing thinking. We dig into a powerful reframe: everything you think is “wrong” with you may also be what's “right” with you when you learn to aim it well. If you're looking for mental health tools, resilience after trauma, or a grounded approach to habit change, this conversation will meet you where you are and nudge you toward the next step.  Subscribe to Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find honest conversations about healing and rebuilding.

Sound Healing with David Gibson How to Work with Sound to Heal Disease Peace, Activation, and the Sound-Based Path Through Anxiety, Depression, Anger, and Grief Sound Healing Center Projects and Upcoming Programs In this episode of Sound Healing, David Gibson briefly outlines the broader work of the Sound Healing Center, including Globe Institute, the Sound Healing Store, the Sound Therapy Center, the Sound Healing Research Foundation, the Medical Sound Association, and the Sound Education Association. He also announces upcoming programs, including a June 28 open house in Sausalito, in-person and online sound healing certificate programs, a recording program, a Mount Shasta retreat, and voice analysis software training. He points listeners to SoundHealingCenter.com and related project websites for classes, research, instruments, dementia protocols, treatment plans, and sound education resources. Treating Disease as Chaos and Returning the Body to Peace The main episode focuses on how sound may be used to support healing for common diseases and emotional conditions. David explains that the Medical Sound Association has developed detailed treatment plans for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, dementia, addiction, pain, autism, cancer, anger, sleep, schizophrenia, thyroid problems, traumatic brain injury, adrenal issues, blood clots, heart conditions, digestion, suicide, end of life, ADHD, and strokes. His central idea is that disease often represents chaos or loss of coherence, while drones, vowels, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, tuning forks, gongs, and other stable vibrations create peace and coherence that may support healing. The Hierarchy of Vibration and the Many Layers of Peace David describes sound healing through a hierarchy of vibration: frequencies, timbre, musical intervals, musical flow, and energy. He explains that pure frequencies, low calming tones, archetypal frequencies, home notes, warm instruments, smooth musical flow, slow rhythms, breath-based chord movement, and stable energetic presence can all help create peace. He also discusses using dissonance when needed to break up stuck emotional or physical energy before returning the system to coherence. For David, peace is not only relaxation; it is the state where the immune system, organs, creativity, and deeper connection to source can function more fully. Sound, Diagnosis, and the Role of Belief A major theme is the danger of fear after a diagnosis. David shares his own experience with blood clots and says he had to stay disciplined about not collapsing into fear, because fear can weaken the immune system and interfere with healing. He contrasts discouraging responses with supportive ones, preferring people who affirm that healing is possible. He argues that doctors should not only present statistics but also guide patients toward positive intention, affirmation, and the belief that healing can happen. He repeatedly frames sound healing as a way to help the body return to peace so it can function better. Sleep, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, ADHD, Brain Injury, and Depression David gives condition-specific examples. For sleep, he recommends delta brainwave entrainment tuned to the individual and also returning to peace repeatedly throughout the day so the nervous system is not wired at bedtime. For panic attacks, he warns that many instruments can be too intense and says stillness, low calm vocal tones, loving presence, and silent chakra-toning can be more effective. For general anxiety, some instruments or sound tables may help if the person is not too fragile. For ADHD and traumatic brain injury, he emphasizes individualized brainwave entrainment. For depression, he recommends activation rather than only calming, using high frequencies, faster rhythms, activating sounds, sound tables, playlists, movement, drumming, gongs, and music that gradually builds from low mood into uplift. Anger, Boundaries, Compassion, and the Seed Beneath the Reaction David then turns to anger, saying many people become angry because they are exhausted, stressed, undernourished, sleep-deprived, or overwhelmed. He says peace can expand a person's capacity to handle life, while expression can help those who have been stuffing anger for years. He suggests intense sound, guitar, gong, or physical release when appropriate, but cautions that expression alone does not remove the seed of anger. He recommends finding the trigger, setting firm boundaries while still running love, ratcheting down exaggerated language, and using compassion as the strongest antidote. In his view, many people act harmfully because they are lost, stressed, or conditioned by society, and compassion can help prevent anger from escalating. Grief, Gratitude, and Letting the Heart Feel The final major teaching centers on grief. David says people who are grieving should not be rushed into cheerfulness; if they are crying, he encourages them to continue and let the grief move naturally. If someone is shut down and not feeling, sound and loving presence may help them reconnect with emotion. He distinguishes healthy grief from complicated grief that continues all day, every day, for years. His main antidote for grief is gratitude: recognizing the blessing of having loved someone deeply. He closes with a personal story about a woman whose friend died at the beach, a healing song played by David's roommate, and later that roommate's own death in Kauai, which David says he first felt as “okay.” The episode ends with his uplifting depression piece and a closing intention for peace and relief from depression.

Rethinking Concussions: From Brain Injury to Brain Recovery

Concussions are often treated as short-term injuries, but what if the real issue is how the brain recovers afterward? In this episode, Dr. Rob Silverman sits down with Dr. Brett Jarosz, an ACA endorsed Fellow Sports & Exercise Chiropractor, to explore the evolving science of concussion recovery and brain health. Together, they challenge outdated approaches that rely on complete rest and discuss why modern rehabilitation focuses on restoring function through targeted movement, individualized therapy, and metabolic support. Dr. Jarosz explains why a concussion is more than just a structural injury, how persistent symptoms can stem from dysfunction across multiple systems, and why factors such as autonomic regulation, inflammation, and brain energy production play critical roles in recovery. The conversation also dives into emerging therapies like photobiomodulation, the science behind red light therapy, and why personalized rehabilitation may be the future of concussion care. Whether you're a clinician, athlete, coach, or someone recovering from a brain injury, this episode offers practical insights into helping the brain heal and perform at its best.   Key takeaways: Concussion is an energy crisis in the brain, affecting metabolism, blood flow, and neurological function. New models of concussion treatment emphasize controlled exercise and targeted rehabilitation over complete rest. Photobiomodulation, especially low-level laser therapy, shows promising results in improving brain recovery post-concussion. Persistent post-concussion symptoms could be multi-faceted, involving neuroinflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and autonomic nervous systems. Female athletes experience different concussion recovery processes due to biological and structural differences.     More About Dr. Brett Jarosz: Dr. Brett Jarosz is an ACA endorsed Fellow Sports & Exercise Chiropractor (AICE 2019), Neurorehabilitation Chiropractor (AICE 2022), researcher and international lecturer. He has worked with the World Surf League, as a part of the medical team at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, as well as Surfing Australia at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He consults with the Melbourne Storm NRL Team, along with several AFL teams, Olympic and elite athletes on neurotrauma, with his work being featured on 60 Minutes Australia, Apple TV, The Age, Herald Sun, and more.

On this episode, we explore the lingering effects of medical crises, both physical and emotional, and what true healing really means. We hear about one doctor's journey to reconnecting with her body — and her pain — after nearly dying, what researchers are learning about medical trauma, and how a traumatic brain injury transformed the lives and marriage of a couple. As a physician, Rana Awdish's goal was to get her patients healthy as quickly as possible. But when she  experienced her own medical emergency — one that ended her pregnancy and nearly killed her — her perspective on the role of clinicians shifted. Awdish later wrote a memoir about her experience, “In Shock,” that explored the importance of not only healing patients, but connecting with them on an emotional level. But the story didn't end there. Fellow doctor and podcast host Neda Frayha talks with Awdish about her continuing journey, in the wake of the book's success, to realizing that she hadn't fully healed from her medical crisis, and that just as clinicians needed to connect with their patients, she needed to connect with her own body. Awdish's new book is "After Shock: Learning to Reinhabit My Body After Illness." We talk with psychologist Jim Jackson about his decades-long work on medical trauma — the invisible psychological scars that many patients experience after serious illness or injuries. We hear about the causes of medical trauma, helpful and harmful ways of responding to it, and treatment options. His new book is “Reclaiming Your Life from Medical Trauma: Recognize the Symptoms, Find Treatment That Works, and Heal Your Brain and Body.” Medical crises don't just affect patients — they affect their loved ones too. Pulse reporter Liz Tung talks with writer Abby Maslin and her husband T.C. Maslin about dealing with the fallout of an assault that almost killed T.C., and left him with a traumatic brain injury. They explore the effects on their lives and marriage — and dealing with cognitive and personality changes that made Abby feel like she was married to a stranger. Her book on their experience is “Love You Hard: A Memoir of Marriage, Brain Injury, and Reinventing Love.”

Celticunderground:The Celtic Football Fan Podcast

For decades, football, boxing and other contact sports have thrilled millions, but an uncomfortable question continues to grow louder: what price do athletes pay for repeated blows to the head? In this fascinating discussion with expert (and Celtic fan) Paul Fivey, we explore the latest research linking sport-related brain injuries to neurodegenerative conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and motor neurone disease. From the pioneering work that first identified CTE in boxers to groundbreaking studies involving former professional footballers, we examine what the science now tells us about the long-term consequences of repetitive brain trauma.The recent news that former Lisbon Lion Jim Craig is living with Alzheimer's disease has once again brought the debate into sharp focus. We discuss the evidence surrounding heading the ball, how brain damage develops over time, the differences between various neurodegenerative diseases, and what governing bodies, clubs and medical professionals are doing to make sport safer for future generations without losing the essence of the games we love.Two websites recommended on the chat are:https://www.brainhelpandhope.org/&https://www.headway.org.uk/Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube This is a public episode.

This episode is part of Better Speech, Language, and Hearing Month, which highlights the powerful role communication plays in connection, learning, behavior, and everyday life. Summer parent support groups are now open for families wanting practical help supporting clearer speech and stronger communication naturally through everyday routines and play.

Send us Fan MailDr. Melissa Zhou, researcher at the Developing Brain Institute at Children's National, joins Daphna to discuss functional MRI and what it reveals about how preterm brains are building connections during the NICU stay. Using functional connectivity — measuring how different brain regions communicate with each other over time — her team compares preterm infants to healthy in utero fetuses scanned as early as 20 weeks, finding that the ex utero preterm brain actually looks more mature in terms of connectivity, suggesting the NICU environment itself accelerates certain aspects of brain development. She shares why extremely and very preterm infants show a distinctly different pattern of connectivity compared to moderately preterm babies who seem to bounce back more quickly, and why the team's next goal is to use these early functional findings to predict which babies will struggle with neurodevelopmental outcomes at 36 months — and which ones will be just fine.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.
