Police reports are often seen as the “official story” after a crash—but are they always accurate? In this episode of After the Crash Podcast, attorney David Craig and paralegal Holly Hines answer one of the most common questions families ask after a semi-truck wreck: how much weight should you give a police report?Police reports can provide details like witness names and statements, but they are not always complete—and sometimes they're wrong. Many families are surprised to learn:✔️ Reports are often delayed or missing information.✔️ Trucking companies may use them to their advantage.✔️ Reports can be challenged, corrected, or supplemented with investigation.✔️ A report alone doesn't determine fault in a truck accident case.David and Holly share stories where the initial report wrongly placed blame—and how deeper investigation uncovered the truth. They also explain what families can do if they believe a police report is inaccurate, and why hiring an experienced truck accident lawyer with the right team makes all the difference.—01:22 – Meet Steve Grover: Canadian Personal Injury Lawyer07:51 – Steve Grover's Story: Why He Chose Injury Law11:12 – Traumatic Brain Injuries in Personal Injury Cases18:08 – Jury Trials in Canada vs. the U.S.19:09 – Semi-Truck Accidents: How Long Cases Take in Canada21:56 – Legal Advertising: Canada vs. U.S. Lawyers23:12 – How to Find a Personal Injury Lawyer in Canada24:55 – Why Continuing Education Matters for Injury Lawyers27:37 – Steve Grover's Book Load 'Er Up and Drive Safe31:31 – What to Know About the Grover Law Firm33:16 – Why Resources Matter in Injury Cases37:53 – Hidden Insurance in Personal Injury Cases38:58 – Signs of a Trustworthy Law Firm40:11 – The Role of AI in Modern Law Firms42:25 – How Involved Steve Grover Is in Cases Today43:53 – Why Motorcycle Accident Cases Are a Focus for Grover45:24 – How Riding Shapes Steve Grover's Perspective46:37 – Premises Liability in Canadian Injury Law49:14 – Statute of Limitations in Canadian Injury Cases50:22 – Tort Reform: The Biggest Challenge for Injury Lawyers52:29 – How Steve Grover Gives Back to the Community—If you or someone you know has been involved in a truck crash, don't wait.Visit https://ckflaw.com or call 1-800-ASK-DAVID for experienced legal help.—Why Listen to After the Crash?Navigating the aftermath of a trucking accident can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone.

Chris Cooksey's story is one of grit, crashes, and comeback. Once a competitive motocross racer, Chris faced years of repeated concussions and the silent toll of traumatic brain injury. Like many athletes, he watched friends struggle with depression and even suicide, recognizing the urgent need to explore alternative treatments beyond pills and standard protocols.In this conversation, Chris opens up about his personal path to healing, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ketamine therapy. He describes how these interventions helped reopen neural pathways, restoring emotional connection and impulse control after years of numbness and frustration. Chris also speaks candidly about the culture of denial in motocross, where head injuries are often minimized and riders are pushed back on the track too soon.Beyond racing, Chris has built a career as a journalist, media personality, and real estate professional, using his platform to shed light on brain health, challenge entrenched systems, and advocate for mental resilience. His journey highlights the intersection of high-risk sports, mental health awareness, and the courage to find unconventional paths to recovery.GUEST BIOChris Cooksey is a former professional motocross racer turned journalist, media personality, and real estate professional.

RICHARD ASHWORTH is internationally recognized for his groundbreaking transformational work with the Ba Zi or Four Pillars of Destiny, otherwise misleadingly known as the Chinese Horoscope. We discuss the results of my personal Ba Zi reading and how it applies to my life past and present.

Richard's work has been highlighted many times in the media, but he is probably best known for introducing authentic Chinese Imperial Feng Shui to BBC TV's Housebusters and for his book The Feng Shui Diaries. He has worked with A-Listers such as Gillian Anderson of the X-Files (who said he "commands both confidence and awe") and professionals like Britain's favourite Interior Designer, Kelly Hoppen (see link below). He has been the subject of the Sunday Times feature 'A Life in the Day', His Diaries, which are available free from this website, appear on the site of the Feng Shui Society. In the summer of 2010, he was on Big Brother's Little Brother to give his view of the Big Brother houses over the years, which he described as "the dark side of feng shui."

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that helps you experience emotional freedom. In this episode, host Laura Milliken welcomes Dana Hernandez, a Masters Level Splankna Practitioner and Executive Director of multiple Brain Balance Centers in Atlanta, GA. Dana brings a unique perspective as she combines Splankna with her work at Rizoo Counseling, helping clients address the deep connections between trauma and brain function.

Dana shares practical ways to support right-brain healing and balance the two hemispheres, along with insights into how to recognize signs of imbalance. This episode will help you better understand the neurological impact of trauma and give you hope that restoration is possible. ✨ Takeaways: How trauma impacts the right brain and subconscious functioning Why the right hemisphere is key for emotional regulation, creativity, and connection Practical ways to support and strengthen right-brain activity after trauma Signs that suggest your brain hemispheres may be out of balance How Splankna and Brain Balance work together to restore healing and wholeness
Send us a textPsychedelics are in the spotlight. Some call them dangerous, others call them life-saving, and many believe they could reshape the future of mental health care. In this episode, Dr. Eeks talks with Martín Polanco MD, founder of The Mission Within Foundation and considered the most experienced ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT physician in North America. Over the past 25 years, he has treated more than 5,000 people — including over 1,300 veterans and special operators — giving him unmatched clinical credibility in a field often clouded by hype, controversy, and hope.Dr. Polanco shares his perspective on why veterans and frontline workers struggling with overlapping mental health challenges — PTSD, addiction, depression, traumatic brain injury — are increasingly turning to these psychedelic medicines when conventional options fall short.This episode covers:What ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT are, how they work in the brain, and what sets them apart from other psychedelics.Why mental health conditions rarely show up one at a time, and how these medicines may help with complex, co-occurring issues.How Dr. Polanco's center guides people through treatment, integration, and long-term support — and why integration is just as important as the medicine itself.Results in veterans and first responders: what's been seen, how long benefits last, and the factors that sustain recovery.The real risks, especially cardiac risks, and the safety protocols in place to minimize them.Misconceptions about psychedelic therapy and where skepticism is justified.The launch of the Mission Within Foundation, which has already raised over $2 million to provide psychedelic therapy scholarships for veterans and first responders.Why partnerships with institutions like UT Austin Dell Medical School are critical for building a scientific evidence base and wider acceptance.And finally: whether ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT are ready for mainstream mental health care, or if the science still needs to catch up.This is a candid conversation about possibility, risk, and the urgent need for new tools in mental health.You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here!

Chuck says: "As a Type 1 Diabetic and Traumatic Brain Injury survivor, I have faced many personal health challenges. For years I was searching for practical and impactful ways to improve my health. In 2015 I was reintroduced to breathwork, and after feeling the benefits as well as the massive shift this brought into my life, I switched professions and dedicated my life to helping others discover their own personal power to help themselves.Since then I have traveled worldwide studying different breathwork modalities. My first introduction to conscious breathwork was through the Wim Hof Method, which included weeks of instruction from Wim Hof himself. I was the first American Instructor to help lead the Wim Hof winter expeditions in Poland, and I continue to expand my knowledge in this and other breathwork modalities. Now, for more than half a decade, I have been working in a healthcare setting applying foundational and functional breath coupled with specific breathwork protocols to help reduce chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to empower people through their own personal and individual breathwork.""Everyone's physiology is different, I know there is no cookie cutter approach to optimal health, however I believe that functional breathing can positively impact everyone."
Think you know everything about Breathwork? Think again! This week on Dawnversations, I sit down with Chuck McGee, a Type 1 Diabetic and Traumatic Brain Injury survivor who discovered a surprising key to healing and resilience: breathwork. After experiencing a massive shift in his own health, Chuck left his former career to dedicate his life to teaching others how to unlock the power of their breath.From studying directly with Wim Hof (yes, that Wim Hof) and helping lead winter expeditions in Poland, to applying breathwork in healthcare settings to ease chronic pain, anxiety, and depression — Chuck has seen firsthand how the way we breathe can transform the way we live.In this conversation, we myth-bust what breathwork actually is (hint: it's not just deep breathing), explore its role in mental and physical health, and talk about why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness.✨ If you've ever wondered how something as simple and natural as your breath could be the missing piece in your health puzzle, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode of the Trauma and Burn Anesthesia Series, we examine traumatic brain injury, the leading cause of trauma-related death in the U.S., affecting over a million people annually and leaving millions with long-term disability. We discuss the importance of the Glasgow Coma Scale, the types of primary injuries such as subdural, epidural, and intraparenchymal hematomas as well as diffuse axonal injury, and how these lead to increased intracranial pressure, herniation, and neurological decline. We explore secondary brain injury from hypotension, hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and hyperthermia, emphasizing the need to maintain adequate perfusion and oxygenation while balancing damage control resuscitation. Key management strategies include hyperosmolar therapy, ICP monitoring, CSF drainage, hyperventilation, mannitol use, steroids, seizure and infection prophylaxis, and cautious fluid therapy. We also cover practical intraoperative considerations, avoiding excessive anesthetics, carefully managing CSF drains, and adjusting ventilation, while highlighting the added complexity when TBI patients also present with massive hemorrhage.Want to learn more?

Episode 591 - Francene Gillis - Where Did i Go - A Memoir Plus, Mild Traumatic Brain Injury MTBIFrancene Gillis, author/consultant/educator/advocate, has been a writer her whole life, starting at the age of five with a writing contest created by her teacher at Port Hood Consolidated, Mother St. Magdalene. Fifty years later, she is still writing in multiple genres, both fiction and nonfiction for a variety of audiences. She devoured books in the school library and putting words to paper became therapeutic when life's tragedies hit. She discovered that her writing could speak for those in pain. Experiencing the devastating loss of loved ones, much of her first writings involved themes of inspiration, loss, overcoming adversity, and sharing her feelings with others so they would not feel alone. She started writing poetry as a teen and giving it to grieving friends, or as tributes to community members. She majored in English at St. Francis Xavier University, continued with a BEd, and obtained a master's in education in Multiculturalism, Administration & Leadership. A community activist, she writes advocacy pieces, such as those gathered in her book, A Rose in November and in her regular column for the Inverness Oran.Her latest book, Where Did i Go? A Memoir Plus, will launch June 2025, partner published by OC Publishing. It was written after her career as a high school English teacher came to an unexpected, painful end in 2016 due to a slip and fall on black ice on her way to work that caused mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Except for educational purposes, Francene has always lived in Port Hood on the coast of Cape Breton, NS. with the ocean at her backdoor.https://www.francenegillis.ca/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Six root causes fuel this cycle, including toxic thought loops, gaslighting, family dynamics, and the fear of silence. Personal stories reveal how rambling dilutes authority and leadership, even when the intention is good. The brain's wiring for safety and early childhood patterns show why this habit is so hard to break, but there are two practical strategies that offer a way forward to stop the spiral, retrain the brain, and speak with clarity and confidence.You'll Learn:How to recognize the signs that you're overexplainingWhy the brain wires this habit as a safety mechanismThe six root causes that drive overexplaining (you might have more than one)How toxic thought patterns set the stage for ramblingWhat happens when gaslighting or narcissistic dynamics distort your truthWhy overexplaining can become a barrier when you haven't felt heardThe peacekeeper role and how blame can fuel overexplainingWhy being chatty often fills the silence and masks discomfortTwo ways to start overcoming the verbal vomit cycle todayTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[06:02] How the brain wires overexplaining as a safety response[07:12] Toxic thought patterns as the first root cause[08:04] Being gaslit or living with a narcissist[10:57] Overexplaining as a barrier when you haven't been heard[12:34] Justification to prove worthiness or avoid judgment[14:05] The peacekeeper role and carrying blame[16:00] How chatty space-filling masks anxiety or discomfort[21:27] Neurodivergence and traumatic brain injury as factors[22:58] Two practical ways to disrupt and rewire the overexplaining cycleResources Mentioned:How Your Birthdate Can Reveal Patterns of Challenges and Transformation with Michelle Dowker | Spotify or AppleFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

The Long Shadow: Traumatic Brain Injury in America's VeteransSecrets of Survival (S.O.S.)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often called the signature injury of America's post-9/11 wars—but its imprint stretches far beyond the battlefield. In this episode of Secrets of Survival, Dr. Susan Rashid examines the enduring consequences of TBI in veterans, weaving together insights from neuroscience, clinical medicine, and public health.From the blast overpressure of improvised explosive devices to the subtle shearing of axons invisible on routine scans, the episode traces how TBI alters the brain in ways that reverberate for decades. Listeners will hear how chronic pain, psychiatric comorbidities like PTSD, and long-term risks of dementia, epilepsy, and suicide shape the lives of those who served. The discussion expands beyond the clinic to confront social realities, including the heightened risk of homelessness among veterans with TBI—underscoring the injury's profound impact on both individual and societal health.Grounded in leading scientific research and policy guidelines, this episode outlines the clinical imperatives: screen with rigor, treat pain and psychiatric illness comprehensively, guard against opioid misuse, and plan for the long horizon of neurological and social outcomes. Just as importantly, it highlights the structural responsibilities—ensuring that veterans have access to housing, rehabilitation, and mental health services as essential components of recovery.The Long Shadow: Traumatic Brain Injury in America's Veterans is not simply about injury—it is about responsibility. With science that is precise, medicine that is integrated, and care that honors dignity and resilience, the shadow of TBI of our veterans can be transformed into a pathway of survival and strength.

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.

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.
