Episode description

As the episode unfolds, Dr. Adams emphasizes the importance of seeking medical evaluation immediately after a concussion to rule out severe injuries like brain bleeds. He elaborates on the standard treatment procedures, including activity restriction, using medications for symptom management, and the potential need for physical or occupational therapy. Dr. Adams goes on to explain the inflammatory connection between the brain and the gut, noting that concussion symptoms can manifest as gastrointestinal issues.

Notable Quotes:

• "When you do get a concussion, there's definitely inflammation. That inflammation... can give you symptoms you might not immediately connect, like constipation, diarrhea, or bloating."

• "It’s like a bomb just goes off, and you're just trying to put all the pieces back together and handle all these different factors."

• "The connection between the gut and the brain is so strong, the inflammation in the brain goes to the gut and vice versa."
