Episode Synopsis

PLEASE READ!Please note that The Post Concussion Podcast has been closed for new episodes as of early 2024. Concussion Connect is also closed. Thank you to everyone who was so supportive over the years and I hope these episodes continue to help others as they come across them! I have set on a new venture (with a pen name - Izzy Barry) you can learn more about here https://izzybarry.substack.com/--Life has a way of throwing curveballs, and today's guest, Evan Veron, former Division 1 football player and now brain injury advocate, certainly knows a thing or two about that. Evan's journey from the football field to becoming a resource for concussion survivors is marked with overwhelming obstacles, personal demons, and the power of resilience. He provides a look into the world of sports injuries, sharing his struggle with post concussion syndrome and the crucial role hyperbaric oxygen therapy played in his recovery. Drawing a critical connection between brain injuries and addictive behaviors, we engage in a discussion that's often overlooked – the impact of altered judgment and impulse control that may increase the susceptibility to addiction. Alongside, we delve into the significance of a supportive network like Concussion Connect and the need for open communication with medical professionals and loved ones. Listen in and become a part of a vital conversation that fosters awareness and understanding, making everyone part of the solution.Find Links, Show Notes, Transcript, & More https://postconcussioninc.comWant to find out about my future books?Subscribe to my new email list: https://barry-writes.kit.com/subscribe
