In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and Jeff delve into the complexities of anoxic brain injury, discussing its causes, recovery processes, and prevention strategies in tactical environments. They emphasize the importance of maintaining oxygen levels, effective airway management, and addressing hypotension and hypoxia. The conversation highlights the critical role of preventing secondary brain injuries and the significance of basic medical interventions in saving lives.TakeawaysAnoxic brain injury is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain.The brain requires oxygen to function, and deprivation leads to cell death.Recovery from brain injuries can take time and various therapies.Prevention strategies in tactical environments are crucial to avoid anoxic brain injury.Monitoring oxygen levels is vital in emergency situations.Airway management decisions should be based on the patient's condition and available skills.Hypotension and hypoxia must be addressed promptly to prevent further injury.Secondary brain injuries can be prevented with proper care and monitoring.Treating pain and agitation is important to reduce intracranial pressure.Basic medical interventions can save lives in critical situations.Chapters00:00 Understanding Anoxic Brain Injury02:56 Recovery and Rehabilitation Process05:27 Prevention Strategies in Tactical Environments10:09 Monitoring and Maintaining Oxygen Levels16:48 Airway Management Decisions20:01 Addressing Hypotension and Hypoxia26:56 Preventing Secondary Brain InjuriesThank you to Delta Development Team for in part, sponsoring this podcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠deltadevteam.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠

In this episode of Better Thinking, Nesh Nikolic speaks with Associate Professor Jacqueline Anderson about the long-term impact of traumatic brain injuries and how they affect cognition, identity, and daily life. Jacqueline Anderson, PhD, is an Associate Professor in Clinical Neuropsychology in the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences. She is also the Convenor of the School's flagship postgraduate training program in Clinical Neuropsychology. As well as undertaking research in the area of clinical neuropsychology, she has more 25 years of experience working as a Clinical Neuropsychologist in both the public and private health sectors; for most of this time she has also provided training to postgraduate clinical neuropsychology students. Clinical work roles have primarily been in acute tertiary referral public hospitals, but have also included roles in rehabilitation settings; she has worked in private practice for many years, including undertaking medico-legal work.A/Prof. Anderson's research program specialises in abnormal cognitive functioning. She and her lab members use a combination of clinical and laboratory-based tools to investigate adult patient populations with neuropsychological disorders. Her research interests primarily relate to outcome after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in community-based adults. In particular, she is focused on investigating the neuropsychological (cognitive, behavioural, psychological) and neuropathological aetiologies of individual patient variation in outcome after mTBI as well as developing interventions for individuals who experience poor recovery. She has a further specific interest in abnormalities of attention and memory, executive function and subcortical cognitive networks in the context of neuropsychological disorders.

In this open & honest episode of Walk and Roll Live, we kick off Invisible Disabilities Month with guest Randy Schlecht, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivor. Randy opens up about his early life, the event that changed everything, and his long path to recovery. Unlike visible disabilities, Randy's challenges aren't always obvious to others—and that leads to misunderstanding, misjudgment, and stigma. He shares what it's like to live with an invisible disability, how it affects the way people perceive him, and why society needs to broaden its understanding of what disability looks like. This is a raw and enlightening conversation that sheds light on the hidden struggles and strength of those living with TBI and other invisible conditions. Walk and Roll Live 

Until only recently, treating Glioblastoma brain cancer with chemotherapy has not been achievable due to the blood brain barrier.  In today's Bindwaves episode, Dr. Michael Canney walks us through how Carthera developed a revolutionary method to deliver therapeutics to the brain utilizing an ultrasound system.  It is well known that the survival rate for Glioblastoma is 1 to 2 years.  Surgery tends to be the primary means to combat this horrible disease.  To improve these odds, an ultrasound implant is placed in the brain after the surgeon removes the tumor.  This implant, or mesh, contains an ultrasound transducer, which when activated during chemo treatments, disrupts the blood brain barrier thus allowing therapeutics to attach to the cancer cells.   Join us as Dr. Canney eloquently discusses the history of this treatment, Phase 1 and Phase 2 results, and their hopes for the Phase 3 trial. Support the showNew episodes drop every other Thursday everywhere you listen to podcasts.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Spencer Roberts, a researcher at Deakin University, to dive deep into his recent paper: “A systematic review and meta-analysis of sleep following mild traumatic brain injury: A synthesis of the literature according to age and time since injury.” Together, we unpack the complexities of sleep disruption after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and what the latest science is telling us.   Episode Highlights – What We Discuss What the systematic review investigates and the range of populations it covers. Who is at risk of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and the difficulties in identifying these individuals. What defines a mild traumatic brain injury and how mTBI is diagnosed. The role of instrumented mouthguards in improving concussion detection and data collection. The difference between objective and subjective sleep measures and why objective data is difficult to collect. Whether sleep is impacted by mTBI – the central question addressed in the review. How the data was categorised for the review. Key findings from the meta-analysis, and how the team handled the complexity of synthesising multiple studies. The challenges in identifying the cause of sleep disturbances post-mTBI and measuring them accurately. Reflections on the scientific process – the ups, downs, and unexpected joys of research. Major takeaways for researchers and clinicians, including opportunities for future work in concussion and sleep research.   This episode is a must for those with an interest in concussion, sleep, and recovery outcomes. Dr. Spencer Roberts is focused on characterising athletes' sleep behaviours, and examining the value of sleep for mitigating the risks and consequences of sport-related concussion.   Research Paper: A systematic review and meta-analysis of sleep following mild traumatic brain injury: A synthesis of the literature according to age and time-since-injury - PubMed Deakin Profile: Spencer Roberts Profile | Deakin University LinkedIn: Dr. Spencer Roberts

The 27-year-old who allegedly shot and killed four people at a Midtown Manhattan office building yesterday carried a note in his pocket saying he had CTE, a brain disease linked to repeated hits to the head. That's according to a police source who spoke to ABC News. There's no evidence thus far that the suspect had CTE, but it has sparked renewed interest in brain injuries and how they can affect a person's mental state. Maria Shilaos spoke to Dr. Benjamin Christiansen, a clinical neuropsychologist at Ogden Clinic, to get more information on CTE and brain injuries overall. Dr. Christiansen also talks about how we in Utah are doing when it comes to protecting our kids' developing brains.

Carolyn Webster-Stratton had been an active masters rower when she flipped over her handlebars while out for a bike ride in 2013. She can't remember the first two weeks after the accident, but clearly remembers doctors painting a grim prognosis of her future with a traumatic brain injury. With a personal mantra of “keep going” and a dedication to recovery that includes daily long sessions on the erg, Carolyn returned to rowing in July 2025. After 12 years off the water, she's switched from sweep to sculling and is building new neural pathways.   GUEST Carolyn Webster-Stratton  Founder, The Incredible Years  Professor Emeritus, University of Washington Member, Vashon Rowing Club   QUICK LOOK 00:00 - Episode intro 00:25 - Banter 02:25  - Rowing Week  03:45 - The Huddle 07:24 - Hot Seat Q&A 11:11 - Carolyn's rowing origin story 13:58 - A bike accident, a brain injury, and stubbornly pushing (instead of resting) through recovery 22:54 - The best rowing advice Carolyn ever received 20:28 - The human brain, the simplicity of repetition on the erg, and dealing with feelings of inadequacies  when returning to the water  26:00 - Honoring where you're at in rowing 33:00 - What the rowing life has given Carolyn 36:20 - Steady State Network news and notes .

After two traumatic brain injuries, everything changed for Cheri Carandanis. She was forced to give up a distinguished 25-year career as a critical care flight nurse in the U.S. military, where her identity was deeply intertwined with her profession.  Cheri faced unimaginable challenges, but when prescribed creativity to heal damaged brain pathways, her rehabilitation became a lifeline. Art became her new calling, and it led to a profound path to self-discovery and healing.  When I heard Cheri's story inside Studio Elite, I knew I had to share it with the world.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Gregory Hawryluk, MD, for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner! Dr. Hawryluk is a neurosurgeon with a PhD in stem cell research. He is the Medical Director of the Brain Trauma Foundation. As we began our 30-minute discussion, Dr. Hawryluk described his medical training as a neurosurgeon. He explained the origin and goals of the Brain Trauma Foundation.  According to Dr. Hawryluk, the Brain Trauma Foundation's most significant contribution has been developing clinical practice evidence-based guidelines for traumatic brain injury. These guidelines have been associated with a 50% reduction in head injury mortality. Dr. Hawryluk suggested that the guidelines serve as a basis for individualized care that may lead to even greater benefits. The guidelines are available on the Brain Trauma Foundation's website. We explored the definition of concussion and current approaches to management. Dr. Hawryluk explained that neuroimaging, such as CT and MRI, should be normal in a patient with concussion. He offered his opinion regarding the safety of participating in contact sports, which may result in concussions. We also broached the subject of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). To learn more, please contact The Brain Trauma Foundation: https://braintrauma.org/#concussion #CTE #traumatic brain injury #TBI@braintraumafoundationPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

TrulySignificant.com presents Dr. Gary Seale.Heat levels are climbing year over year, continuously breaking the global heat record. As temperatures rise, so do life-threatening heat-related illnesses like heat stroke, which can cause permanent brain damage.  Gary is the Regional Director of Clinical Services at Houston-based Centre for Neuro Skills, is available to talk about essential tips for heat stroke prevention and taking proactive measures to avoid heat stroke that can be the difference between life and death. Centre for Neuro Skills, a brain injury and stroke rehabilitation provider, treats brain injuries caused by heat stroke. “Of all the heat-related illnesses, heat stroke is the most serious.  Heat stroke occurs when the body is no longer able to regulate temperature and cool down,” says Dr. Seale. “Body temperatures can rise rapidly to 104 degrees or higher which can cause damage to organs, including the brain, and result in permanent disability. Heat stroke can cause brain swelling, seizures, and lead to chronic inflammation, all of which disrupt brain function.”  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

Time and again I am blessed with the gift of support. This being friends who guide me, lift me, and comfort me when I need it most. These people did not owe me anything, nor did I ask for their assistance. Yet still they showed up on my doorstep when I was entirely unable or disinterested in helping myself. Quite literally without these humans, I would not be alive today. One such person is Scott Thomson who, unprovoked, suggested I begin a routine including a plethora of supplements to help combat my increasing and worrisome collection of brain injuries. I raced mountainbikes for 17 years including nine seasons as a professional. I also raced off-road motorcycles for 15 years. My two-wheel competitive career initiated in earnest after a 13-year drug addiction. Was I trading one addiction for another? Absolutely. Did I consider racing a step-up improvement from drug abuse? Yes. Did I believe this to be a safer and more sustainable life path? Of course I did. But maybe the route to ease, peace and tranquility is not so rosy. As an ambassador for Cognitive Protocol, I am thankful for Scott Thomson and Dave Zabriskie who have helped to improve my quality life and honestly, have helped to save my life. ~ Roger Ray BirdYou Can't Pedal Through a Concussion. Dave Zabriskie Tried. Now, He's Helping Others Do Better."When you're in the thick of it, survival feels like progress. But sometimes, the most dangerous thing is the illusion that you're okay."— inspired by Jon Krakauer, Into the WildDave Zabriskie knows what it takes to go all in. He spent over a decade on the World Tour, earning his reputation as one of the strongest time trialists the U.S. has ever produced. He won stages at the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, and Vuelta a España - the first American to do so - and stood atop more than a few podiums. His focus was total. His discipline, relentless.But pro cycling isn't just about victory—it's about endurance in all its forms. The kind the cameras capture, and the kind they don't.In the early days of his career, during a crash at Redlands, Zabriskie was knocked unconscious for 15 minutes. He woke up in a helicopter, disoriented and alone. There were no protocols, no guidance—just a vague notion that if nothing was broken, you got back on the bike. Like most athletes, he did what he was told. Or more accurately, he did what no one told him not to.“It wasn't that we ignored head injuries,” he says now. “It's that nobody really knew what to do with them.”That moment didn't define his career—but it did plant the seed for what would come after. Years later, when the lights of competition had dimmed and the adrenaline wore off, the fog rolled in: memory gaps, mood swings, a dull, persistent feeling that something just wasn't right. And no roadmap for how to fix it.That helplessness—the sense of being a passenger in his own recovery—became the force behind Cognitive Protocol.Founded by Zabriskie and wellness innovator Scott Thomson, Cognitive Protocol is more than a supplement line. It's a system designed to give people agency over their cognitive health—especially in the critical window after head trauma, when most arLook for my books on Amazon, my memoir LIES BETWEEN US, and the addict book:Daddy, Why Were You A Drug Addict?: Winning the War Amid My Angel and Devil Withinby Roger Ray BirdISBN 979-8218286651Available on Amazon for $11Roger's social directory: HERE

She specializes in helping individuals with attention, behavioral, coordination, visual, auditory, vestibular, and emotional regulation challenges.In this episode of the Concussion Coach Podcast, host Bethany Lewis and co-host Kaylee Blair sit down with Patti Andrich to explore the critical role of primitive reflexes in brain injury recovery. Patti shares her journey from struggling with undiagnosed vision issues to becoming a leading expert in reflex integration and neuro-optometric rehabilitation. She explains how primitive reflexes act as neurological "codes" that, when disrupted by brain injury, can lead to symptoms like emotional dysregulation, balance issues, and sensory overload.Patti dives into practical strategies for reintegrating these reflexes, including movement exercises, visualization techniques, and sensory stimulation. She also highlights the importance of a team approach, involving neuro-optometrists, OTs, and other specialists, to restore optimal brain function. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how vision, reflexes, and sensory processing interconnect—and how addressing these foundational systems can accelerate recovery.Resources Mentioned:Patti's Website: sensoryfocus.comWork Email: info@sensoryfocus.comBook: Indicators of Primitive and Postural Reflexes by Patti AndrichNeuro-Optometric Resources:COVD.ORG (College of Optometrists in Vision Development)NORA Vision Rehab (Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association)Contact info:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/patti-andrich-2298a3134                  Instagram: @thevisiondevelopmentteamIf you would like to sign up for a free concussion coaching consultation with me to learn how you can understand and manage your symptoms, speed up your recovery, and get your life back following a concussion, click here: ⁠https://theconcussioncoach.com/contact

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes Bryan Hubbard, a prominent advocate for psychedelic-assisted therapies, particularly ibogaine in the treatment of opioid addiction and mental health disorders.  Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-305/?ref=278 Update (May 2025): Days before this episode's release, the Texas House approved a Senate-backed bill to fund ibogaine research through a public-private partnership aimed at securing FDA approval. This vote marks a major milestone in the movement Bryan describes throughout this conversation. Bryan shares his journey from leading Kentucky's Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission to spearheading breakthrough ibogaine research initiatives in Texas. He articulates ibogaine's unique neurological properties, discussing how it can reset brain neurochemistry in 36 hours and potentially treat conditions from traumatic brain injury to Parkinson's disease. The conversation explores the spiritual dimensions of ibogaine experiences, the political landscape surrounding psychedelic medicine, and Bryan's ongoing efforts to medicalize ibogaine through FDA drug development trials, highlighting Texas as the next frontier for this life-saving research. W. Bryan Hubbard is the Executive Director of the American Ibogaine Initiative. He is the first and former Chairman and Executive Director of the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission. He concurrently served as Special Counsel to the Kentucky Attorney General's Office of Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Control and was its prior Executive Director. He served on the Kentucky Judicial Commission on Mental Health, the Kentucky Child Support Guidelines Commission, Mine Safety Review Board, and the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy's Recovery Ready Communities Advisory Council. He previously served as Commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Income Support wherein he led the Commonwealth's Social Security Disability and Child Support Enforcement systems. He practiced workers' compensation law representing Walmart, Tyson Foods, and Tennessee Valley Authority for sixteen years. During his practice years, he observed the predacious onset of Kentucky's Opioid Epidemic amid generational joblessness, poverty, disability, and substance use. He was raised in Virginia's coalfields and is the proud grandson of two grade-school educated coal miners on whose shoulders he stands.
