Have you, or a loved one, had a concussion? How would you know for sure? In this episode of Brain Builders we discuss the symptoms to look out for and what to do about them. Some of the symptoms include:

  • Headache or "pressure" in the head
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Balance problems or dizziness
  • Double or blurry vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Sensitivity to noise
  • Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy
  • Concentration or memory problems
  • Confusion
  • Just not "feeling right" or "feeling down"

Today we discuss the biological changes that occur in the brain after head trauma and how it can lead to long-term cognitive effects later in life. We cover specfic nutritional changes and other holistic approaches that can help speed recovery and even protect the brain from further damage.
