| 5/11/26 |  Measuring Brain Blood Flow and CO2 in Real Time—Why This Changes Concussion Recovery with Dr. Nate Keiser (Part 2) | E58 | Send us Fan Mail Your autonomic nervous system isn’t “just stressed,” and dysautonomia isn’t a single, one-size-fits-all box. We zoom out from symptom labels and zoom in on mechanisms: how the brain senses the body, builds an internal map, and then uses that map to regulate heart rate, blood flow, digestion, sweating, temperature, and even hormone feedback loops. We talk neurocardiology in plain language, including why the brain controls the heart beat by beat, how the cerebellum helps autom... | 36m 00s | ||||||
| 5/4/26 |  Measuring Brain Blood Flow and CO2 in Real Time—Why This Changes Concussion Recovery with Dr. Nate Keiser (Part 1) | E57 | Send us Fan Mail What if the missing piece in concussion recovery isn’t just the brain—but blood flow to the brain? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nate Keiser to explore how real-time measurement of brain blood flow is changing the way we understand persistent post-concussion symptoms, dysautonomia, and neurological recovery. Using advanced tools like transcranial Doppler ultrasound and CO₂ monitoring, we break down how the brain regulates circulation—and why that system often fails aft... | 39m 02s | ||||||
| 4/27/26 |  A Path to the First FDA Drug for Concussion? How Ghrelin Could Change Brain Injury Recovery with Dr. Vishal Bansal | E56 | Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Life After Impact: The Concussion Recovery Podcast, I sit down with trauma surgeon and researcher Dr. Vishal Bansal to explore what may become the first-ever FDA-approved pharmaceutical treatment for concussion. Despite how common concussions are, there is currently no approved medical treatment—leaving patients with rest, symptom management, and uncertainty. But what if that’s about to change? Dr. Bansal shares the fascinating story behind a groundbreaking... | 32m 06s | ||||||
| 4/20/26 |  Hearing Loss, Tinnitus, & Hyperacusis: Treat Your Hearing, Protect Your Brain with Dr. Keith Darrow | E55 | Send us Fan Mail A “mild” hearing loss sounds harmless until you hear the data: it can raise the risk of cognitive decline and dementia by 200%. I sit down with Dr. Keith Darrow PhD, CCC-A, neuroscientist and clinical audiologist, to connect the dots between hearing loss and brain health and to explain why treating hearing loss shows up again and again as a top modifiable dementia risk factor in major research reviews. We also get practical about what good care actually looks like. Dr. Darro... | 56m 02s | ||||||
| 4/13/26 |  Why Pain Doesn’t Always Match the Injury | Chronic Pain & Concussion Explained | E54 | Send us Fan Mail Pain isn’t a simple “damage equals symptoms” equation. Sometimes your nervous system turns the volume down so far you barely notice serious wear and tear, and other times it turns the volume up until every small sensation feels like an alarm. That difference matters if you’re living with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, or persistent symptoms after a concussion, because the right treatment depends on how your brain is regulating threat and sensation. I sit down with Dr. Norm Hoff... | 54m 59s | ||||||
| 4/6/26 |  When Concussion Symptoms Don’t End After Two Weeks | E53 | Send us Fan Mail A concussion can change your life in a second, but what happens when the people around you treat it like an excuse? Sarah Wuebbolt joins us to share what it’s really like navigating multiple concussions as a teenager while trying to keep up with school, sports, friendships, and the pressure to “be fine” on a timeline that doesn’t match reality. We talk about the first concussion that came with old-school advice to hide in a dark room, how isolation can spiral into depression... | 37m 35s | ||||||

A moment of waking up after a suicide attempt and deciding, with total clarity, to choose life. Cameron Scott joins me for a raw, grounded conversation about what concussion recovery can really look like when the symptoms are not just physical, but emotional, relational, and spiritual too. (This conversation includes reference to suicide. Listener discretion is advised.) We talk through the long arc: mul... | 59m 19s | ||||||
| 3/17/26 |  The Hidden Habits That Can Speed Up — or Sabotage — Brain Recovery with Alex Lombardi | E51 | Send us Fan Mail Your brain doesn’t heal on your appointment schedule. It heals in the messy middle of real life, the mornings where you can’t think straight, the afternoons where your energy falls off a cliff, and the nights when you wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. I sit down with Alex Lombardi, founder of The Brain Edit, to talk about lifestyle-based concussion recovery and post-concussion syndrome through a lens most people miss: the 23 hours a day outside the doctor’s off... | 1h 10m 09s | ||||||
| 3/3/26 |  Fueling A Healing Brain with Natalie Gavi | E50 | Send us Fan Mail We talk with registered dietitian Natalie Gavi about how to use simple, evidence-led nutrition to support concussion recovery and long-term brain health.

| 2/23/26 |  Ibogaine For Brain Injury Recovery with Navy Veteran Lorna Sturchio | E49 | Send us Fan Mail I sit down with Navy veteran and transformational trauma coach Lorna Sturchio to unpack how medically supervised ibogaine can catalyze rapid change for PTSD, addiction, and traumatic brain injury. Lorna’s story moves from combat trauma and MST to overprescription and crisis, then into carefully prepared plant medicine work that helped her taper off meds, restore sleep, and rebuild a future. Together, we demystify what ibogaine is, how it differs from ayahuasca or psilocybin, ... | 47m 03s | ||||||

| 2/2/26 |  Breathwork After Concussion: How 5 Minutes of Breathing Can Calm Your Nervous System | E48 | Send us Fan Mail What if five minutes of the right breathing could calm a racing heart, clear morning fog, and steady your balance after a concussion? Dr. Ayla Wolf sits down with chiropractic neurologist Dr. Jonathan Chung to unpack the science and the how-to of using breath as a lever for healing. We dig into why the brainstem’s respiratory centers are vulnerable in acceleration-deceleration injuries like concussions, how dysautonomia and anxiety reshape breathing patterns, and where slow, ... | 53m 07s | ||||||
| 1/26/26 |  The Path Back To Work After a Concussion with Nate Pope (Part 2) | E47 | Send us Fan Mail This is Part 2 of my conversation with Nate Pope from NCX Brain Recovery. Recovery stalls when life gets smaller. We’ve all seen it: light hurts, noise overwhelms, screens drain, so routines narrow and the brain doubles down on workarounds. We open up a different route—structured, supportive challenges that reengage vision, balance, attention, and memory together. Instead of chasing one symptom at a time, we train the whole system to find easier, more efficient pathways. We ... | 28m 20s | ||||||
| 1/12/26 |  The Path Back To Work After a Concussion with Nate Pope (Part 1) | E46 | Send us Fan Mail Your brain isn’t broken; it’s rerouting. We sit down with neuro‑occupational therapist Nate Pope to unpack why so many people with post‑concussion syndrome get stuck despite doing “all the right therapies.” Nate explains how functional MRI reveals a network problem—under-fueled pathways and overworked compensations—and why isolated sessions can accidentally train the detours instead of restoring efficient routes. If headaches spike during vision drills or screen time wipes yo... | 32m 15s | ||||||
| 1/8/26 |  How the Love Your Brain Foundation Turns Isolation Into Community For TBI Survivors And Caregivers | E45 | Send us Fan Mail What if the most powerful medicine after a brain injury is feeling truly seen? We sit down with Kyla Pearce, Senior Director of Programs and Research at the Love Your Brain foundation, to explore how connection, mind‑body practices, and practical education can restore confidence, calm, and everyday momentum for people with TBI and their caregivers. Kyla shares the story behind the foundation, launched after pro snowboarder Kevin Pearce’s traumatic brain injury, and the gap t... | 47m 25s | ||||||

| 11/18/25 |  Dr. Adam Harcourt Explains Why Migraine Treatments Fail After Head Injury | E41 | Send us Fan Mail If “migraine” meds aren’t touching your headaches after a concussion, you might be chasing the wrong problem. Dr. Wolf sits down with Dr. Adam Harcourt, a board-certified functional neurologist and fourth-generation chiropractor, to unpack why post-traumatic headaches so often get mislabeled as migraine—and how objective neuro exams flip the outcome.
