We're rereleasing Bald Move's coverage of The Martian (2015) in honor of the film's 10th anniversary! Check out the Matt Damon poster photos here! Jim and A.Ron saw Ridley Scott's "The Martian" last night, starring Matt Damon, and have a lot to say about it.  Note, the first part of the podcast is spoiler free, but then when we say we're about to spoil things, that's your cue to get out while the getting is good.  Along the way, we talk about the trailers we saw for The Revenant, The Big Short, Joy, and Concussion. If you are still hungry for more Martian goodness, might I recommend reading Andy Weir's original book (The Martian) the film is based on?  Then, I'd proceed to reading Robert Zubrin's A Case For Mars, upon which most of the science of the book and film are based upon.  And if that's not enough, check out the Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.

Summary In this episode, Melvin Pitz and Cornel Tol from the Headache, Pain, and Concussion Training Institute (HPCTI) delve into the intricacies of managing concussions and post-concussion symptoms. They advocate for using the term "prolonged post-concussion symptoms" over "mild traumatic brain injury" to reduce the nocebo effect associated with the latter. The discussion highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary and biopsychosocial approach in diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing the significance of early intervention and patient education. Melvin and Cornel share insights into diagnostic criteria, the impact of framing on patient outcomes, and the gaps in current practices, particularly in the Netherlands. They stress the need for physiotherapists to be proactive in education and networking to bridge the knowledge gap in concussion management. The episode also touches on the neurophysiological aspects of concussion, the shortcomings of monodisciplinary approaches, and the potential of a treatable traits approach for better patient outcomes. Listeners are encouraged to rethink the role of physiotherapy and consider the broader implications of prolonged symptoms, including psychological and social factors. The episode provides practical advice for physiotherapists and healthcare professionals on how to improve their practice and patient care in the context of concussions. Guests Today's guests are Melvin Pitz and Cornel Tol from the HPC-TI — short for Headache, Pain & Concussion Training Institute. They're on a mission to educate and empower healthcare professionals with cutting-edge, evidence-based strategies to manage headache, pain complaints, and mild traumatic brain injury. With a strong clinical background and a critical view on how care is currently delivered, they're pushing for a multidisciplinary and biopsychosocial approach that actually works — in the clinic, and beyond Content 00:00 Intro 00:41 Definition of PPCS 03:06 Diagnostic Criteria 06:35 Gaps in recognizing PPCS 09:47 Why patients are misdiagnosed 14:24 Sponsor 15:00 Prognostic Factors to develop prolonged symptoms 18:48 Rethinking Physiotherapists' role in treating PPCS 24:40 Neurophysiology of PPCS 28:28 Why monodisciplinary approaches fail 33:12 Diagnosis & Decisionmaking 35:48 Sponsor 37:04 Biggest pitfalls 38:44 Treatment 50:48 Interesting Case Studies 57:38 Return to work/play 01:03:21 Opinion on high-impact sports 01:05:25 Myths to bust 01:06:26 Closing thoughts 01:07:37 Contact info & Outro Bonus Material Download the referenced transcript including PubMed Links and a high-resolution infographic on this episode as part of your Physiotutors membership on the Physiotutors App. Download the Free App now   Follow our Podcast on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, mental health crises, and a recent shooting.In this profoundly important episode, Bethany Lewis speaks with Laura Dyer about the tragic loss of her brother, Greg, due to CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). Laura, a registered nurse and healthcare leader,  shares their family's difficult journey, from Greg's successful football career at the University of Utah to the onset of debilitating symptoms like paranoia, aggression, and psychosis that were misdiagnosed for years as mental illness.They delve into what CTE is, how it differs from a single concussion, and why it can only be diagnosed posthumously. Laura provides crucial insights from the forefront of CTE research, including the critical role of sub-concussive hits, the stages of the disease, and the ongoing work of the Concussion Legacy Foundation.This conversation is a powerful call for awareness, compassion, and change. While the topic is heavy, Laura emphasizes hope—hope for future diagnostics, hope for better player safety, and hope for individuals and families navigating similar challenges today. If you or a loved one has a history of contact sports or repetitive head trauma, this episode is an essential listen.SummaryThis episode provides a comprehensive and heartfelt exploration of CTE through the personal story of Laura Dyer and her brother, Greg. Key points discussed include:What is CTE? CTE is a degenerative brain disease caused by repetitive head trauma, including both concussions and, crucially, hundreds or thousands of sub-concussive impacts over years.Greg's Story: A talented football player, Greg began experiencing unexplained symptoms in his twenties, including hearing voices, extreme paranoia, impulsivity, and aggression. He was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder, as his football history was never considered a factor by treating physicians.The Diagnosis: CTE can currently only be diagnosed after death by examining brain tissue. Laura details the process of donating her brother's brain to Boston University for research and the relief and validation the subsequent diagnosis brought the family.Symptoms and Stages: CTE manifests differently; in younger individuals (20s-30s), it often appears as mental/behavioral issues (anxiety, depression, impulsivity), while in older individuals (50s+), it can resemble dementia. Greg was diagnosed with Stage 2 CTE.A Message of Hope and Action: Laura stresses that a CTE diagnosis is not a death sentence and that many people live full lives while managing symptoms. She urges anyone concerned—whether athletes or family members—to seek support, use available resources like the Concussion Legacy Foundation, and believe loved ones when they share what they are experiencing.Advice for Parents and Athletes: The key takeaway is to be aware of the risks of repetitive head trauma in contact sports, take head injuries seriously, and prioritize brain health. While football may not disappear, awareness and safety protocols are improving.Resources Mentioned:Concussion Legacy Foundation: https://www.concussionfoundation.org/ (Includes a helpline and resources for support)Boston University UNITE Brain Bank / CTE Center: https://www.bu.edu/cte/Podcast Episode with Dr. Diane Spangler on Mental Health & Concussion: Watch on YouTubeBethany's Free Guide: "The 5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Available at www.theconcussioncoach.comThe episode concludes with Laura's hope that Greg's legacy will be one of raising awareness and improving the lives of future athletes, emphasizing that support and resources are available for those who need them.

New Zealand will have first use of the world's first portable brain scanner that could change how concussion is diagnosed for rugby players – but will it work as said? The device —known as the Nurocheck headset— can allegedly detect head injuries in two minutes. Medtech Labs Group CEO Michael Lee says although the brain scanner will be rolled out next month, rugby clubs will have to wait a little longer. Sports injury research specialist Dr Doug King told Francesca Rudkin while the concept it legitimate, the research backing it is not. He says concussions are one of the most complex things you can try and detect, and while this could be realistic in the future, the science just isn't there yet.

The Nurocheck headset will be able to detect head injuries in just two minutes without the need for baseline testing. Devine has suffered a number of head knocks in his playing career and says the device is especially beneficial for the amateur game. He told Mike Hosking players are probably only getting a test if they've taken a reasonable hit and usually there's a moment where you can tell they're not well.

Concussions don't always show up on scans—but they can reshape mood, sleep, focus, and quality of life. In this direct conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Dr. Ayla Wolf—acupuncturist, funct/ional neurology practitioner, and author of The Concussion Breakthrough—explains why many post-concussion symptoms are missed, how autonomic nervous system dysregulation drives anxiety, and why brain inflammation is a crucial, often misunderstood piece. We cover practical, non-pharmaceutical strategies (vision–vestibular rehab, targeted drills, acupuncture, clean nutrition, toxin reduction) and how to track progress with clear, objective markers. If you or someone you love has “mystery” brain fog, dizziness, or mood shifts after a head impact, this episode is a grounded roadmap to smarter recovery. Guest: Dr. Ayla Wolf About the Guest  : Dr. Ayla Wolf is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, founder of Healing Response: Acupuncture & Functional Neurology, host of Life After Impact: The Concussion Recovery Podcast, and author of the 600-page guide The Concussion Breakthrough: Discover the Missing Pieces to Recovery. She blends science and integrative care to help patients resolve complex, lingering effects of head injury. Key Takeaways: Concussions are often invisible injuries. Many never receive a formal diagnosis; symptoms like anxiety, depression, brain fog, and sleep issues may surface months later. Standard scans can miss functional problems. ER CTs rule out bleeds and fractures but don't diagnose concussion or dysautonomia. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation is central. Imbalances in sympathetic/parasympathetic tone can show up as racing heart, sweating, overwhelm, and heightened stress reactivity. Brain inflammation is misunderstood. It can be regional (not “whole brain”), influenced by diet, toxins, and lifestyle; medicine lacks a single “blockbuster” drug solution. Assessment must be individualized. No one-size protocol—patients present with different blends of neck/vestibular/ocular/cognitive issues. Use objective markers to track progress. Balance tests, eye-movement integrity, and positional challenges help verify whether therapies are working. Therapy can be creative and multimodal. Vision–vestibular drills, targeted movement, cervical care, and acupuncture can modulate blood flow, immune activity, and attention networks. Lifestyle matters. Whole foods, clean water, toxin reduction, and sleep hygiene lower neuroinflammatory load and support recovery. Multiple concussions compound risk. Early “compensations” can fail after later hits, worsening symptoms and extending recovery timelines. Validation is therapeutic. Clear exams plus education help patients feel believed—and engaged—in their healing plan.

What's heartbreaking is that these symptoms often lead to tragedy for athletes and military alike, as CTE steals away both quality of life and sanity while it remains undiagnosed until after death. William's turning point came with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, which gave him almost immediate mental clarity and hope after years of struggle. Now, he's on a mission: to bring HBOT and other healing treatments to athletes and veterans through a nonprofit CTE Recovery Center. He's working to raise funds via GoFundMe so this care can be offered at no charge to those suffering and desperately in need.

She has also completed Dr. David Treleaven's Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness training, and was one of a select few chosen by Dr. Treleaven for mentorship in 2022.Episode Summary:In this episode of the Concussion Coach Podcast, Bethany Lewis welcomes Jessie Rain Smith, a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher and founder of Mindful Concussion. Following her own car accident and brain injury in 2013, Jessie was advised to use mindfulness but discovered that while some practices were incredibly powerful, others were detrimental, leading to panic and dissociation.Jessie shares her personal concussion journey and the realization that recovery can be a long, winding path. She and Bethany dive into a crucial discussion on the dual nature of mindfulness for the injured brain. They explore its profound benefits for attention, nervous system regulation, and emotional control, while also highlighting the potential perils of common practices like body scans and intense interoceptive awareness that can be overly cognitive or dysregulating.Jessie explains her modified approach, which prioritizes "nurturing anchors of attention" and "concentration practices" to build safety and regulation before moving into more challenging work. This episode is an essential listen for anyone in the brain injury community—survivors and caregivers alike—looking to harness the healing power of mindfulness in a safe, effective, and trauma-informed way.Key Discussion Points:Jessie's Concussion Story: The onset of symptoms days after her car accident and her journey through the healthcare system.The Surprise of Prolonged Symptoms: The realization at 2.5 years post-injury that recovery was not linear and required a fundamental shift in lifestyle and activity levels.The Role of the Nervous System: How a pre-existing state of dysregulation (e.g., from previous trauma) can influence concussion recovery.Defining Mindfulness: Moving from being "lost in thought" (worries, regrets) to landing in the present moment.The Power of Mindfulness for brain injury:Attentional Control: Practicing the muscle of bringing focus back to the present, which is directly beneficial for cognitive fatigue and focus issues.Nervous System Regulation: Learning that symptoms are not a threat, moving away from the "fight, flight, or freeze" response (faulty neuroception).Resources Mentioned: Jessie's Website: www.mindfulconcussion.caSign up for her free bi-monthly Zoom mindfulness sessions for survivors.Read her blog (including the post on mindful chocolate eating!).Jessie's Upcoming Book: The Power and Perils of Mindfulness for Brain Injury (To be released).

Sports have always been more than just competition. For young athletes, the field, the court, or the pool becomes a place where discipline, teamwork, and perseverance are forged. But as much as we celebrate the victories, there's a hidden battle often overlooked: the fight to protect the body that carries the dream. The pressure to “get ahead” often pushes young athletes too hard, leading to injuries that can cost more than a season, they can cost a future. True success comes from prevention and care. Rest, good nutrition, and smart training may not be flashy, but they build the strength that lasts. Even setbacks like sprains or concussions remind us that healing takes time and patience. The greatest athletes aren't defined by early wins, but by resilience, passion, and the willingness to grow. The true goal goes beyond winning today's game. It's about protecting the gift of health, cultivating discipline, and building a foundation strong enough to carry dreams into adulthood. In sports and in life, the victories that last are the ones rooted in preparation, patience, and perspective. Dr. Mary Morgan McLeod is the host of Southern Remedy Kids & Teens and serves as an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Internal Medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. She provides trusted guidance on the health and well-being of children and adolescents, offering clarity on topics ranging from physical growth and development to mental health and lifestyle choices. Through her work, Dr. McLeod empowers families to make informed decisions that support lifelong health. On this milestone episode of Time Out with the Sports Doctor, I reflect on the journey of building this community on mindset, assets, and success. To celebrate this milestone, I had the opportunity to be the featured guest on Southern Remedy Kids & Teens with Dr. Mary McLeod. We discussed sports medicine, covering common youth injuries, the importance of early diagnosis and rehab, as well as prevention, training, and the vital role of conditioning and nutrition in long-term health.

Chaandani Khan: Resilience, Recovery, and Reforming Concussion Care On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, with special guest Chaandani Khan. Little bit about Chaandani's story from her:  A concussion brain injury completely derailed my life 6 years ago. I went from being an outgoing person who worked, had a busy social life, volunteered, had hobbies and was physically active -- to a person who could no longer remember how to make a sandwich, nor follow basic conversations with ease. On a personal note, I know the strength it takes to find acceptance while still in the fire, and what it takes internally to rebuild your life with intention. On a professional note, going through this experience allowed me to identify key gaps in service and systems that patients face, and the demand for a new path forward. I am now an educator for medical and allied healthcare concussion practitioners and am focused on leading systemic change in the delivery of concussion care. Short bio: Six years ago a brain injury derailed Chaandani's entire life, which left her navigating PPCS (persistent post-concussive symptoms) and an overwhelming amount of loss. Preparing a cup of tea, washing clothes and sending a single email became monumental challenges and her familiar, fast-paced lifestyle appeared impossibly far out of reach. Going through years of recovery appointments and eventually ingraining herself in the concussion space allowed her to identify key gaps in service and systems that patients face, and the demand for a new path forward. Chaandani is now an educator for medical and allied healthcare practitioners who serve the concussion and PPCS population. She brings a wealth of knowledge gained through experience plus research, and is focused on leading systemic change in the delivery of concussion care.

Today's episode is an edited version of a talk about rugby union's concussion crisis which I gave to the North of England Medico-Legal Society in Newcastle in April 2025, for which I'd like to thank Alex Littlefair for the invitation. It looks at the history of concussion in men's rugby union, examines how it has changed over the past fifty years, investigates the impact of professionalism, and looks at the weight of cultural traditions which have held back the sport's ability to deal with the crisis confronting it. As well as looking at the evolution of its attitudes to concussion, I also look at how rugby union's hyper-masculine traditions - inherited from its founders in the mid-nineteenth century - have shaped its understanding of injuries and have remained essentially unchanged over almost two centuries. Perhaps we can find the roots of the problem not only in today's hyper-professional sport but also in its roots as the symbol of nineteenth-century manhood?

He opens up about the hard truths of hockey culture, the cost of repeated brain trauma, and the hope that comes from rewiring both the brain and the spirit.Follow Daniel's work on Instagram @DanielCarcillo13 and learn more at ExperienceOnward.comEpisode TakeawaysWhat it meant to be an NHL “enforcer” — and the personal cost Daniel paid with over 1,200 penalty minutes and multiple concussions.The hidden toll of repeated brain trauma and why so many concussions go undiagnosed.Daniel's turning point: losing a close friend, becoming a father, and facing his own brain health crisis.Why Daniel says one psilocybin experience gave him more healing in four hours than years of therapy and costly treatments combined.The science behind psychedelics: neuroplasticity, trauma processing, and why FDA trials are taking it seriously.Why safe, regulated access matters — and how Experience Onward is pioneering a new model of care.Daniel's personal mission: helping others move beyond survival into true healing.
