IntroHave you ever thought about how the doctors know what treatments to use to diagnose and treat your brain aneurysm? Research obviously creates this but where does the money come from? A major source of funding comes through public policy and the federal government. The Bee Foundation has a strong presence on Capitol Hill through their work with Arnold and Porter. They are currently working on getting Ellie's Law passed which would be a bipartisan effort earmarking $50 million dollars to go towards research. This funding could prevent others from having a rupture and lead to new treatments and rehab options. Learn how to support passage of this bill here. SummaryIn this episode of the Making Headway podcast, Alison speaks with Christine Kondra, Taylor Cazeault, and Michaela Stogsdill from the Bee Foundation about the critical issues surrounding brain aneurysms. They discuss the foundation's mission, the importance of advocacy and research funding, particularly through Ellie's Law, and the economic implications of brain aneurysms. Personal stories highlight the devastating impact of these conditions, while the conversation emphasizes the need for increased awareness, education, and community engagement to prevent future tragedies. The episode concludes with information on how listeners can get involved through political advocacy and upcoming events for Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month.KeywordsThe Bee Foundation, brain aneurysms, advocacy, Ellie's Law, research funding, awareness, healthcare, economic impact, personal stories, community engagementTakeaways· The Bee Foundation was started to honor those lost to brain aneurysms.· Ellie's Law aims to increase federal research funding for brain aneurysms.· Brain aneurysms affect 1 in 50 people, with a high fatality rate.· Advocacy is crucial for raising awareness and funding for research.· Personal stories of survivors highlight the urgent need for change.· Economic costs of brain aneurysms are significant and preventable.· Education for first responders is essential to improve outcomes.· Bipartisan support is growing for brain health initiatives.· Community engagement is vital for advocacy efforts.· Upcoming events provide opportunities for public involvement.Sound Bites"This is going to be the last.""We really wanted to focus on hope, prevention.""Brain aneurysms are really prevalent."Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Bee Foundation02:59 The Impact of Brain Aneurysms06:11 Advocacy and Legislative Efforts09:01 Ellie's Law and Research Funding11:49 Economic Implications of Brain Aneurysms15:00 Personal Stories and Experiences18:00 The Importance of Awareness and Education21:01 Bipartisan Support for Brain Health24:09 Engaging the Community26:54 Best Practices for Emergency Response29:46 How to Get Involved33:03 Upcoming Events and InitiativesReach out toThe Bee Foundation WebsiteSend a letter to your representatives seeking support or giving thanks using

This episode emphasizes the critical importance of timely diagnosis and treatment. Early identification can significantly enhance recovery outcomes, but knowing that effective treatment is possible even months or years after the initial injury is reassuring.We examine the phenomenon of recurring symptoms, explaining how stressors like physical exertion or lack of sleep can cause them to resurface. This doesn't mean the concussion itself has returned but rather that the associated symptoms are re-emerging. Our discussion includes the evolving understanding of concussion management over the past decades, highlighting how outdated practices have given way to more effective, evidence-based approaches.Listeners will learn about the current best practices for treating persistent symptoms, including the benefits of gradual reactivation and symptom provocation strategies. We also touch on the interconnectedness of various injuries—such as those to the neck, inner ear, and eyes—and their role in concussion-like symptoms.As we wrap up, we acknowledge the complexity of managing concussions and invite our audience to request future episodes dedicated to this multifaceted topic. Join us for a professional and empathetic exploration aimed at providing clarity and support on your health journey.Would you like more episodes focused on specific aspects of concussion care?

February.  The month of commercialized love aka Valentines Day.  While buying chocolates and teddy bears is a questionable way to show you love someone; it is a good reminder that we need to show support and be vocal about appreciating those who love us, especially those who have stood by us in our worst moments.   Brain injury is a unique circumstance in a relationship where roles change quickly.  Suddenly an independent partner has increased needs and the significant other becomes a caregiver.  This is a really hard time for the survivor and spouse.  This month, we talk with some amazing couples who have stuck together through the hard times.  A true in sickness and in health test.   For our first in the series, stroke survivor Tymiak and his beautiful wife Rachel Hawkins provide their perspectives on what was needed for their relationship to thrive post injury.  Join us as we listen to them converse about communication, mindfulness, honesty and the roles they play in keeping a solid relationship post brain injury.  Links to any resources mentioned:  Becoming the Light: Navigating the Darkness after Stroke by Tymiak Hawkins.  https://tymiakhawkins.com/ (Buy here.)

This is the fifth episode of the six part series, "Making Headway with Your Inner Dialogue: 6 Ways to Take Charge of Your Inner Critic."     Series.1 : Episode.5 In this episode, Dr. Dee Discusses: What are programs? Mapping out a new programYour new program's congruencyPre-experiencing a programKey Takeaways: Programs are our brain's way of mapping out a belief combined with a memoryOur brain is always running on programs and sometimes, old programs get in the way. First, consider a talent or behavior that you desire to see in yourself. Second, ask yourself who this program will benefit. Third, what is your passion? Fourth, think about your highest intention for this program. Fifth, take note of what benchmarks or behaviors you'll see when you map out this program - what would you be doing, saying, and what would be your timeline. Think about six reasons on how your program is congruent and make a timeline - like making progress in your program every two weeks. Visualize what it would look like for you to have mapped out this program. Create a positive visualization of your desired outcomes.  “You can construct self-defining memories from this moment forward by visualizing what you'd like to see. It helps shape your identity, it also builds your self-efficacy” - Dr. Dee  Recommended Resources:The Future of Memory: Remembering, Imagining, and the BrainDaniel L.

Then ask yourself, "is being triggered helpful?" Lastly, if it's not helpful, ask yourself what are other possible thoughts that could be helpful for you - think of five things.   “Wherever your thoughts go, your reactions follow. Emotions are a chemical response to your thoughts. .” - Dr. Dee  Recommended Resources:Burns, David. The Secrets of Self Esteem.
