Episode Synopsis

Matt Picard has first-hand knowledge of brain matters. After suffering two serious hits in lacrosse and football he started on a difficult journey towards recovery from prolonged post-concussive syndrome. He sought treatment from a wide range of medical professionals, including neurologists, neuroscientists, orthopedics, optometrists, neuro-ophthalmologists, dietitians, functional neurologists, and chiropractors in an effort to recover from his injuries.Frustrated by the limited knowledge surrounding brain conditions and the lack of effective treatments for brain injuries and diseases, Matt launched the Picard Research Fund and established the Heads Together Gala. In 2024, Matt formally joined the board of the American Brain Foundation with hopes of driving strategic initiatives and expanding his efforts to advance brain health research.
