In a society that grows ever more risk averse, how do we balance fun and competition with our responsibilities to keep one another safe? In this talk, sport science professor Ben Jones explores our assumptions about contact sports. He reflects on our perceptions of risk and reward and offers a path to a safer sporting experience for amateurs and professionals alike. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on The Hamilton Review Podcast, we are pleased to welcome Lee Schwartz and Geoffrey Schwartz for a compelling conversation about family, football, and the realities of brain health in sports. Lee shares the extraordinary journey of raising two sons who went on to play professional football in the NFL, while Geoffrey offers his perspective as a former NFL player. Together, they provide a candid and insightful look at their experiences, exploring both the rewards and challenges of life in the sport. The discussion also examines CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), a progressive brain disease that has become a significant concern in contact sports. Lee and Geoffrey share valuable insights and practical advice for parents seeking to better protect their children from brain injuries while participating in athletics. In addition, Lee discusses his book, Raising Giants: My Extraordinary Journey with Two NFL Sons, and the lessons he learned along the way. This is a powerful and informative episode of The Hamilton Review Podcast - one that every parent, coach, and sports enthusiast should hear and share. Lee spent his 40+ year professional career as an executive and consultant in manufacturing and distribution.  But what he's most proud of is being the father of two outstanding sons, Geoffrey and Mitchell, both of whom played 8+ years in the NFL. Lee's amazing two-decade experience with Geoffrey and Mitchell inspired him to write Raising Giants – My Extraordinary Journey with TWO NFL Sons, a memoir sharing his real-life stories of how love, discipline and vision helped shape his sons into elite athletes—and grounded men. Carrying his passion for football and the lives of his sons forward, Lee has now assumed a role on the West Coast Advisory Board of the Concussion & CTE Foundation (www.concussionandcte.org).   CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) is a progressive brain disease, a real-world issue.  Thank goodness, Geoffrey and Mitchell show no signs of struggle with mental decline but Lee's been touched by those who have/are struggling and by the impact it has on the sufferers and their families.  Lee is proud to raise awareness of CTE, particularly to parents of our youth who wish to participate in youth contact sports, and the work being done by the Concussion & CTE Foundation to find causes, treatments and cures for this horrible disease.

Jay Gunkelman goes in BLIND on Case 9 — an 18-year-old's eyes-open EEG, age only, no history. Joshua Moore bet his car on a left posterior concussion. Jay sees something deeper: a thalamocortical dysrhythmia at the anterior cingulate, slow and fast rhythms coupled together, beta spindling above 30 Hz that most databases can't even see. Left-side mu disconnect shutting down the language hemisphere. Posterior insula, left side. After half a million EEGs, Jay's verdict isn't a diagnosis — it's a phenotype that tells you how to treat it, not what to call it.

On this episode of Inside Startup Investing, Chris Lustrino speaks with Dr. Michael Wyand, CEO of Oxeia Biopharma, a clinical-stage biotech company developing a potential breakthrough treatment for concussions and persistent concussion symptoms. Oxeia is leveraging ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone involved in brain energy regulation and neural repair, to help heal the inflammation and cellular damage caused by traumatic brain injuries. With promising Phase 2a data showing an 85% responder rate among treated patients, the company is pursuing what could become the first FDA-approved pharmaceutical treatment specifically targeting concussion recovery. Chris and Michael discuss the science behind concussions, how brain damage occurs after impact, why “just rest” has remained the standard of care for decades, and how Oxeia's therapy could fundamentally change the treatment landscape for athletes, veterans, and millions of patients suffering from lingering neurological symptoms. They also dive into the company's clinical pathway, the business opportunity behind concussion therapeutics, the role of neurogenesis in recovery, and the broader future potential for treating conditions like CTE, Parkinson's disease, and ALS. If you want to understand the future of concussion recovery, brain health innovation, and biotech investing, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Have you ever wondered why your brain feels completely exhausted after answering emails, sitting in a Zoom meeting, or trying to multitask after a concussion? So many people think they're "resting" after a concussion because they're not exercising or playing sports—but meanwhile, they're doom scrolling, juggling tasks, taking calls, and overloading their brain without even realizing it. The problem? Your brain doesn't distinguish between physical effort and cognitive effort. Thinking, processing information, emotional stress, multitasking, and screen time all demand energy from an already overwhelmed system. In this episode, Natasha breaks down what cognitive load really is, why it can delay recovery, and how to safely navigate return to work without pushing your brain past its limits. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why cognitive work can be just as exhausting as physical activity after a concussion The hidden ways multitasking, screen time, and emotional stress overload the brain What "cognitive intolerance" actually means and how to recognize it How to create a structured, supportive return-to-work plan that sets you up for success If you've been feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or confused about why your brain still feels "fried" after a concussion, this episode will help you better understand what's happening—and why recovery requires more than just physical rest.

Often what brings someone into our office looks straightforward at first—a concussion, dizziness, headache, or a sense that something is not quite right. But what begins as the search to fix a symptom often reveals something deeper—a nervous system that has lost its bearings, sensory maps that no longer line up, and a body quietly adapting around signals it can no longer fully trust.Ayla Wolf and Clayton Shiu both work at the intersection of functional neurology and East Asian medicine. Through clinical observation, modern diagnostic tools, and hands-on palpation, they've developed ways of seeing patterns that often sit beneath symptoms most people wouldn't connect to the brain.Listen into this conversation as we explore how concussion can masquerade as digestive issues, tinnitus, anxiety, or vestibular dysfunction. And why the neck, eyes, inner ear, and autonomic nervous system all can be part of the problem. We'll explore how acupuncture can help restore orientation, balance, and sensory accuracy. And what becomes possible when ancient medicine intersects with a modern understanding of neuroplasticity.

In this returning episode of The Concussion Coach Podcast, host Bethany Lewis (The Concussion Coach) reconnects with Sharik Peck and Katyrra Larson to explore the latest developments with the Rezzimax PainTuner—an external vagus nerve stimulator that uses gentle resonance (in the frequency range of a cat's purr) to calm the nervous system. Sharik shares exciting updates, including a new Philippines-based study using the device to help breast cancer patients manage stress, pain, and GI dysfunction, as well as ongoing TMJ research in the US. The conversation dives into innovative applications of the tool: a new mouthpiece attachment for cranial nerve stimulation (helping a brain-injured patient regain speech and focus), and scraping techniques that combine vibration with myofascial release. Katyrra provides practical calming strategies for acute anxiety and startle responses (including humming with the tongue between the teeth). Sharik also shares a powerful trauma release protocol (Stress Down Regulation/Resilience program) that combines breathing, flexor engagement, and sensory input to help the brain reorganize traumatic memories—a protocol that does not require the device but is accelerated by it. The episode emphasizes nervous system regulation as the cornerstone of concussion recovery, and Bethany shares her personal enthusiasm for the tool, including a listener discount and money-back guarantee.Resources Mentioned by the GuestsRezzimax PainTuner (and the "Mini" version)Rezzimax Mouthpiece Attachment (for oral/cranial nerve stimulation)Recipes (Protocols) Library – Found on the Rezzimax website (video + written steps)Whole Body De-Stress rezzipe: https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-whole-body-destressStress Down Regulation / Resilience program (trauma release): https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-stress-down-regulationMoro reflex protocol (for startle response): https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-primitive-reflexes-moro-startle-reflexRezzimax YouTube Channel – Contains the trauma release presentation and all instructional videos https://www.youtube.com/@RezzimaxDiscussed Practitioners & Concepts:Dr. James Sheen & Dr. Edward Chauvin – protocols for addressing dormant fungi/molds/virusesDr. Sean Drake – breathwork for high-level performersAndrew Byrne – work with "singing athletes" and cranial nervesGua sha & Astym (scraping techniques enhanced with vibration)Contact & Discount Information from the ConversationRezzimax Purchase & Discount Code: https://rezzimax.com/?ref=BethanyLewis Use code BethanyLewis in the discount section for $75 offRezzimax Money-Back Guarantee: Available if you try it and don't love itPrevious Episodes Referenced: Episode 47 (Sharik alone) and Episode 76 (Sharik & Katira)RezziMax Website & Recipe Access:  rezzimax.com Trauma Release Protocol Location: RezziMax website → Recipes → Emotional Clearing → "Stress Down Regulation or Resilience program"Previous episodes with Sharik peck:1.

In this episode of It Happened To Me, we explore clinical neurology, how the brain and nervous system function, what happens when things go wrong, and how recovery and adaptation are possible even after injury or chronic neurological challenges. Our guest is Dr. David Traster, a clinical neurologist and educator who has spent nearly two decades working with patients experiencing complex neurological conditions. His background as an athlete and personal trainer, combined with his own experiences navigating injury and chronic health issues, shaped his interest in helping people improve function through neurological recovery. Dr. Traster has advanced training in concussion, dizziness and vertigo, movement disorders, autonomic nervous system conditions, and childhood developmental disorders. His work focuses on helping patients improve function through neurorehabilitation and targeted exercises, without relying solely on drugs or surgery. In Part 1 of this conversation, Dr. Traster explains what clinical neurology really means and how it differs from the traditional view of neurology as diagnosis, medication, or surgery alone. He shares his own experience as a high-level basketball player whose life changed after a surgery led to years of unexplained symptoms, eventually resulting in a Lyme disease diagnosis. That personal journey shaped how he listens to patients whose symptoms do not fit neatly into a diagnosis. The conversation also explores how the brain responds to injury, including concussion and traumatic brain injury. Dr. Traster explains why recovery often requires more than rest and time, and how targeted exercises involving vision, balance, eye movement, vestibular rehabilitation, and cognitive therapy can help retrain specific brain pathways. Cathy and Dr. Traster also discuss how this approach may apply to patients living with rare or genetic conditions. While neurorehabilitation may not cure an underlying condition, Dr. Traster explains that improving function, balance, movement, and quality of life can still be meaningful and powerful for patients. Dr. Traster also provides a clear explanation of neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to change, strengthen, and reorganize through repeated activity. Dr. Traster breaks down why “brain cells that fire together wire together,” and how learning, movement, repetition, and targeted practice can support healing and adaptation. In This Episode, We Discuss: What clinical neurology is and how it differs from traditional neurology Why the brain may need functional and physics-based approaches, not only chemical interventions Dr. Traster's personal experience with chronic illness, delayed diagnosis, and Lyme disease How being dismissed medically shaped his empathy for patients Why neurological symptoms like dizziness, brain fog, and balance issues can be misunderstood How concussion recovery can involve targeted brain rehabilitation The role of vision, balance, vestibular rehab, eye movement therapy, and cognitive exercises How neurorehabilitation may support patients with genetic or rare conditions Why function and quality of life matter, even when a condition cannot be cured What neuroplasticity means in simple terms How learning, repetition, and practice help strengthen brain connections About Dr. David Traster Dr. David Traster is a clinical neurologist and educator with nearly two decades of experience working with patients experiencing complex neurological conditions. His background as an athlete and personal trainer, along with his own experience navigating injury and chronic health challenges, shaped his approach to neurological recovery and rehabilitation. Dr. Traster has advanced training in concussion, dizziness and vertigo, movement disorders, autonomic nervous system conditions, and childhood developmental disorders.

In this episode of Simply Autastic Siblings Podcast, Cameron Brundidge and Brandon Brundidge talk honestly about Cameron's head injury, concussion awareness, symptoms to watch for, and the importance of rest and recovery. A real conversation to help teens understand why head injuries should never be ignored. 

What if the symptoms you've been fighting for years aren't "just stress" or "just a concussion"? Too many people are told to simply rest, push through, or wait it out after a brain injury or traumatic event. But when symptoms like migraines, dizziness, anxiety, sleep struggles, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic pain continue to linger, it's often a sign that something deeper is being missed. In this powerful roundtable discussion, concussion professionals from multiple disciplines come together to unpack the complex overlap between concussion, trauma, PTSD, gut health, vision, nervous system regulation, and brain recovery.

Dr Sean Rose and Miriam Beauchamp visit the studio as we consider concussions in young children. We explore the challenges of making this diagnosis in babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. What do symptoms look like? And how can families play a key role in recovery? Tune in for answers to these questions and more!

In this powerful crossover episode, Bethany Lewis (The Concussion Coach), a neurological occupational therapist and certified life coach, joins Bruce Parkman of the Broken Brains podcast to shatter common myths about concussions. Bethany explains that you don't need to be knocked out—or even hit your head—to sustain a concussion, and that the severity of the impact doesn't always predict the outcome. She discusses how concussions are often misdiagnosed as mental health issues (anxiety, depression, ADHD), the critical link between repetitive head impacts and long-term brain health, and how women and girls are more susceptible yet severely understudied. Bethany offers hope through neuroplasticity and whole-person recovery, while providing essential advice for parents: believe your child's symptoms, prioritize their brain over the sport, and advocate for proper care. This episode is a must-listen for athletes, parents, coaches, and anyone wanting to understand the true impact of a "silent injury."Connect with Bethany:Website: https://theconcussioncoach.com/Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" on the websiteFree Coaching Consultation: https://theconcussioncoach.com/free-consultationEpisodes mentioned by Bethany:The Concussion Coach Podcast episode 124 with Dr. Kellianne Arnella: https://youtu.be/k7CbCVzjQNQThe Concussion Coach Podcast episode 96 with Natasha Wilch: https://youtu.be/9CDVMmmBpJIBethany Lewis on Concussions, Neuroplasticity & Protecting Kids from Brain Injury | Broken Brains Podcast Episode 88Bethany Lewis joins Bruce Parkman to discuss the realities of concussions, the dangers of repetitive brain trauma, and how parents can better protect their children.In This Episode, We Cover:Concussions and repetitive brain trauma Neuroplasticity and brain recovery Symptoms and warning signs of concussion Mental health and brain injury Advice for parents, coaches, and athletes Key Takeaways:Concussions are brain injuries, not “just headaches” Early awareness can improve recovery outcomes Neuroplasticity gives hope for healing Parents must prioritize brain health over sports performance Resources & Links:The Concussion Coach Head Smart App Repetitive Brain Trauma Summit 

MERCH Pre-Order - https://nonmembersshop.com/Happy National Eat What You Want Day! We kick off the episode by motivating everyone to stay consistent with their workouts (Erin is officially on week 5 of her pull up journey!) before diving into a highly specific, heated rant about deceptive grocery store produce bags, why are tangerines and limes sold in color matching mesh bags to hide the rotting fruit?! We also celebrate the official launch of our merch store (grab your koozies, hoodies, and mystery trinkets while you can!) and pop open a Recess Mood drink to calm down.Then, we get into the main event: Erin's massive, multi-day recap of the Dick's Sporting Goods Varsity Team brand trip in Tampa. Event planning is officially a sport, proven by Erin walking into a hotel room stocked with a personalized cake, $500 in Stanley gear, and a daily wardrobe. Erin explains how she entered "survival mode" to become a mega extrovert, surviving a upscale carnival complete with a Ferris wheel, and an Adidas yacht party featuring custom Sambas, permanent jewelry, and a saxophone player jamming to Bad Bunny. She also chilled in a speakeasy movie theater in custom pajamas, and finally got to wear her sparkly Adidas tracksuit to a jaw dropping banquet featuring aerial yoga and a hidden 7 piece band.The physical toll of the trip was brutal, featuring a blazing hot "On" HIIT class with "no-nonsense Giovanni" (where Erin and the gym bros were secretly collapsing behind his back) and an insanely hard Pilates session with Molly Seidel's sister, Izzy. Erin also defends her "Grease Girl" status by refusing to wear the provided orange short shorts in the sun. Finally, we debut our highly anticipated on site interview with the Savannah Bananas player who famously face planted doing a backflip on live TV. He reveals the shocking behind-the-scenes details of the crash, the concussion, and the CNN producer's terrible reaction to the blood. We wrap up with a quick rant about the fever dream that is the Tampa airport and beg our listeners to prove to Mike that he isn't just broadcasting to an empty void.

We tried to explain the difference between a heist and a hijacking, got a little sidetracked, then we finally got to the important question: How do you run a tabletop RPG heist without your players immediately turning it into a full-scale massacre? Show Notes This week we break down what makes a great tabletop RPG heist work and why stealing something is a lot more fun when the plan is hanging together by a thread. We start with Shadowrun, which remains one of the best examples of a game built around infiltration, corporate espionage, and deniable operations. The system works because violence has consequences, so the tension comes from planning, stealth, and improvising when things inevitably go sideways. From there we move into Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder 2e, looking at how dungeon fantasy games handle heists differently. Keys from the Golden Vault gets a lot of praise for capturing the feel of classic capers, while Pathfinder's infiltration subsystem adds layered mechanics for tracking suspicion, complications, and player progress during a job. We also spend time talking about tension and why a good heist needs pressure. Rival crews, ticking clocks, escalating danger, and visible consequences all help turn a simple stealth mission into something memorable. Finally, we touch on Blades in the Dark and its hugely influential progress clocks and flashback mechanics. If you have ever wanted your players to suddenly reveal they planned for a problem all along like an Ocean's Eleven montage, this is the system that perfected it.

Shadowrun works well because violence creates serious consequences. Heists in D&D work best when combat is limited and intentional. Keys from the Golden Vault does a solid job capturing the heist fantasy. Rival crews and ticking clocks instantly raise the tension. Pathfinder 2e uses infiltration and awareness points to track progress and danger. Visible danger meters make stealth scenes feel more intense. Complications keep players adapting when plans fall apart. Blades in the Dark popularized progress clocks and flashbacks. Flashbacks let players reveal clever prep work retroactively. Hex crawls work better when exploration focuses on discovery instead of nonstop combat. Three kobolds in a trench coat is still an elite random encounter. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

When Dr. Ted Arkfeld started as a team chiropractor in the early 2000s, the standard sideline concussion test was a whiff of smelling salts and a question: "Feel okay? Get back in." Twenty-plus years later, he's built one of the most rigorous neurological assessments in the field, and is one of the only chiropractors in the country presenting concussion research alongside the world's foremost authorities. In this episode, he walks us through what changed, what's still broken, and a better way to treat concussions from the nervous system up. We cover: Why you cannot have a concussion without a cervical spine injury and why mainstream concussion medicine has been late to catch on The Neuro Sports Performance Evaluation that combines autonomic testing, sensorimotor function, and Neubie mapping The 3x increase in lower-extremity injury risk after a concussion and how to prevent it Why even gentle treatment can metabolically overwhelm a concussed brain and how a $20 pulse oximeter solves it The layered treatment protocol Dr. Arkfeld uses: Cox flexion-distraction, Master Reset, Normatec, BrainTap, and progressive neuro rehab If you treat athletes – or you're the parent of one – this conversation will change how you think about concussion management.  

Michael Flomenhaft, Esq. is the principal of the Flomenhaft Law Firm PLLC in New York, New York. His practice focuses on trying cases for victims of traumatic brain injury and severe chronic pain. Renowned for his vast knowledge of neuroscience—including neuroimaging, neuropsychology, neurobiology, and the neuroanatomy of chronic pain—Mr. Flomenhaft serves on the board of advisors for the Center for Neuroscience and Law at Fordham Law School and was a director of neurolaw for the Program for Imaging and Cognitive Sciences at Columbia University. He is a graduate of Boston University School of Law and the Trial Lawyers College.In this second conversation with attorney Michael Flomenhaft, host Bethany Lewis dives deeper into the most challenging aspects of concussion recovery and litigation. They begin by tackling the difficult subject of malingering—why it is often alleged, how objective imaging and biographical evidence can refute it, and why standard MRIs are insufficient for visualizing white matter damage. Michael explains why traditional concussion return-to-play protocols are "gray matter protocols" applied to a white matter injury, leaving athletes at unrecognized risk. The discussion then shifts to chronic pain, its atrophic (brain-shrinking) effects, the role of specialists like osteopaths and craniosacral therapists for headache relief, and the powerful potential of neurofeedback in brain rehabilitation. This episode provides essential education for anyone navigating the legal, medical, and personal realities of persistent post-concussion symptoms.Resources Mentioned by Michael Flomenhaft:Website: www.brainjusticeny.comEmail: mflomenhaft@brainjusticeny.comPhone: 917-359-8023Previous Episode (Part 1): Episode 134  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU96lajw5oQ&t=240sImaging & Techniques referenced:Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (microbleeds)Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) – to visualize white matter injuryVolumetric MRI (to show brain atrophy over time)PET scansQuantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG)Neurofeedback (recommended as a top intervention for leveraging Connect with Bethany:Website: https://theconcussioncoach.com/Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" on the websiteFree Coaching Consultation: https://theconcussioncoach.com/free-consultation

Are you focusing so much on calming your nervous system that you might actually be slowing down your recovery? If you've been doing all the "right" things—breathwork, tapping, somatics, sound healing—but still feel stuck, you're not alone. There's a growing trend in the concussion space to label everything as a nervous system issue… and while that's part of the picture, it's not the whole story. Here's the hard truth: constantly regulating without addressing the root problem can turn into a subtle form of avoidance. Instead of progressing, you stay in a loop of managing symptoms without truly moving the needle. In this Roundtable episode, we unpack the difference between management and treatment—and why both matter if you actually want to heal. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why nervous system regulation alone isn't enough for concussion recovery The key difference between managing symptoms and actually treating the problem How "doing all the healing things" can sometimes keep you stuck Where technology and innovative tools fit into real, effective care If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not getting better, this episode might just change the way you approach your recovery.

This episode's guide is David Ims, who just presented a webinar to the NRBS about concussion management with the XLNTBrain system. Concussions are common, often underdiagnosed, and notoriously difficult to assess. The conversation explores the limits of symptom reporting, the role of cognitive testing, and how adding neurophysiological data like QEEG may help clinicians and patients make more informed decisions.In This Episode, We Discuss:Why concussions are frequently missed or underestimatedThe importance—and limitations—of baseline testingHow symptom tracking can reveal recovery patterns over timeWhether more data actually improves clinical decisionsThe role of QEEG in validating patient experienceWhy concussion recovery is often inconsistent and nonlinearBalancing standardized tools with individual variabilityContact us at healthybrain@nrbs.org.Subscribe here or wherever you get your podcasts.Watch the video versions of our podcasts and Subscribe there as well!This podcast is produced by the Northeast Region Biofeedback Society.

What if the reason your clients (or you) aren't improving isn't a lack of effort—but a too-narrow approach to healing? You might be doing everything "right"—seeing the best specialists, targeting specific symptoms, following structured plans—yet still hitting a frustrating plateau. Here's the uncomfortable truth: when care stays siloed, progress stalls. Focusing on one system at a time can help… but without integrating how the brain and body work together, you're just building partial solutions. The real breakthrough happens when you zoom out, connect the dots, and treat the full system as an orchestra—not isolated instruments. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: - Why hyper-specialized, "niche-only" treatment often leads to plateaus in concussion recovery - The real reason multiple great providers still might not get you lasting results - How integrating systems (not just treating them) unlocks faster, deeper progress - What actually created dramatic change in just one intensive week—without traditional exercises If you've been stuck, the missing piece may not be what you're doing—but how everything is being put together.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with creatine researcher Dr. Darren Candow from the University of Regina to break down what the research actually says about creatine for muscle, performance, and body composition—plus the newer interest in brain health, aging, and longevity. We dig into practical dosing (including higher-dose ideas for bone and brain), why timing probably doesn't matter much, and what the data shows on safety, side effects, and common myths like hair loss. We also talk about creatine in special contexts like sleep deprivation, jet lag, concussion/TBI potential, and vegan or low-creatine diets, along with how caffeine might (or might not) interfere. If you want an evidence-based, real-world guide to creatine, this one's for you.

Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Tom Campbell speaks with Dr. Jacob Resch and Dr. John MacKnight (University of Virginia) about the recent publication, "Leveraging the Enhanced Sports as a Laboratory Assessment Model to Cross-Validate a Formula Used to Predict Clinical Recovery From Concussion in Collegiate Athletes".  This episode discusses a study that cross-validates a previously published prognostic formula for concussion recovery using the Enhanced SLAM point-of-care data model in collegiate athletes. Key predictors included total symptom severity and the 24-hour duration of drowsiness, neck pain, nervousness, and tingling; the findings emphasize clinical relevance, clinician–researcher collaboration, and using the formula as an adjunct to—not a replacement for—clinical judgment.

Bomani Jones is joined by Bruce Bowen to talk NBA playoffs, from the Spurs' chances at a title run after Victor Wembanyama's concussion to whether the Houston Rockets just embarrassed themselves against LeBron and the Lakers. They also hit Anthony Edwards' rise as a leader, Rudy Gobert's redemption, and why CJ McCollum is suddenly playing Madison Square Garden villain against Jalen Brunson.Bomani and Bruce get into: How Wemby has already changed what's possible on defense, why the paint disappears when he's on the floor, and how that compares to Tim Duncan never winning DPOY. The Spurs–Blazers series, Wembanyama's concussion, and what young teams actually learn in playoff collapses. The cheap new vibes in Portland under owner Tom Dundon — from coaching salaries to cutting back on arena T‑shirts. Why the Rockets' Game 2 performance vs. the Lakers was so disappointing, what accountability really looks like, and how LeBron is still manipulating games at his age. Anthony Edwards' force-of-personality leadership, how he lifts guys like Rudy Gobert, and what it means for Denver's title defense.

It's not often that racers go on to have competitive second acts to their careers after retiring from the limelight. This week on the Download, Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with a driver who retired a NASCAR Truck champion and retraced his family roots back to the short tracks: Johnny Benson Jr. Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Johnny grew up in the shadows of his father John Benson Sr., one of the finest chauffeurs the Midwest had to offer in the 1960s and 70s. John made a name for himself in the supermodified ranks and served as part of the Michigan invasion of the mid-60s to the legendary Oswego Speedway, where he captured the crown jewel Oswego Classic in 1966. At home, he was an accomplished parts builder and fabricator, which is where young Johnny got his first hands-on experience. Once John stepped away from driving, Johnny rose to the occasion to race for the family company, initially stepping into Southwest Michigan's dirt late model ranks. He quickly graduated to pavement competition, taking on the challenging American Speed Association tour in the mid-1990s, where he captured his first national championship in 1993. The feat landed him on the radar of many in the NASCAR ranks, including none other than Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Ernie Irvan. Johnny received a shot at the big time in the Busch Grand National Series, where he'd continue his winning ways with a season points crown in 1995. He was promoted to the Cup Series, driving for Bahari Racing, Roush Racing and finally MB2 Motorsports, capturing one lone victory at Rockingham in 2002.  Johnny's Cup opportunities would run their course, but he'd find later success in his NASCAR career driving for Bill Davis Racing in the Trucks Series. He'd become one of the few drivers in NASCAR history to win crowns in multiple series when he won the Truck title in 2008, before returning to his short track roots, getting behind the wheel of a supermodified in International Super Modified Association competition.

Most people buying "clean" supplements are unknowingly loading their bodies with heavy metals, rancid fish oil, and glyphosate, even inside products labeled organic and healthy. This episode breaks down exactly what the supplement industry refuses to tell you and gives you the tools to stop poisoning yourself every morning. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Grab a discount on Puori Products by visiting: https://puori.com/pages/dave?dt_id=1750934 Host Dave Asprey sits down with Oliver Amdrup-Chamby, founder and CEO of PUORI and a serial entrepreneur in the health and wellness space with over 16 years building what has become one of the most rigorously tested supplement brands in the world. Oliver opened the first CrossFit gym in Denmark in 2006, served as Regional Director of CrossFit HQ across Europe and the Middle East, holds an Executive Program credential from Stanford, and advises longevity projects including One Thirty Labs in Copenhagen. He founded PUORI in 2009 with a single obsession: creating the cleanest third-party tested fish oil on the market. That obsession grew into a full supplement line built on batch testing every finished consumer product for environmental toxins, a standard the industry has yet to catch up to. Together, Dave and Oliver expose the hidden contamination crisis inside the supplement industry, from oxidized fish oil that creates inflammation instead of fighting it, to plant-based protein powders carrying up to 10 times more heavy metals than whey. They break down why organic does not mean safe, how glyphosate embeds itself directly into your collagen infrastructure and disrupts the body's ability to build healthy connective tissue, and why the omega 3 index is one of the most powerful and measurable longevity biomarkers you are probably ignoring. They also dig into the surprising brain optimization and anti-aging benefits of creatine, including new research on concussion recovery and sleep deprivation, and how foundational supplements like vitamin D, magnesium, and high-quality fish oil remain the non-negotiables that no nootropic stack can replace. You'll Learn: Why organic protein powder often contains more heavy metals than non-organic options How glyphosate infiltrates collagen and gets rebuilt into your body's own tissue What the omega 3 index is, why most Americans are dangerously low, and how raising it correlates with years of additional longevity Why plant-based omega 3s fail to convert to DHA and what to take instead How oxidized fish oil creates inflammation rather than reducing it, and what to look for on the label Why vitamin D deficiency persists even with regular sun exposure and how genetics affect your required dose The creatine research that has longevity doctors and neuroscientists paying attention for the first time How foundational supplements support mitochondria, metabolism, and long-term resilience in ways that trendy biohacking stacks cannot replicate What to look for in a clean supplement brand and why third-party batch testing of finished goods is the only standard that matters Thank you to our sponsors!
