Episode notes
Prioritize Blood Flow Recovery
- Increase brain blood flow and vascular support after injury to restore decision-making and frontal lobe function.
- Use interventions that boost perfusion and oxygenation as part of recovery protocols.
APOE4 Amplifies Concussion Risk
- APOE4 carriers are more pro-inflammatory and suffer worse long-term effects from brain injury.
- Genetics stack with other risks like low blood flow and toxins to worsen outcomes.
Actively Reduce Toxin Load
- Reduce toxic burden through regular detox practices like saunas, antioxidants, and a vegetable-rich diet.
- Address environmental toxins as part of concussion recovery to lower chronic inflammation.
