Sometimes it is tough to parse what came first when it comes to events that cause symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms manifest quickly, sometimes there is a delay, and sometimes it’s a culmination of multiple events, what we call “a perfect storm.”A concussion is one of those events and today’s episode is about how to determine if one has had a concussion and still has symptoms from the concussion and how to distinguish between concussion and mental/emotional symptoms. Dr. Spencer Zimmerman is uniquely trained as both a Nurse Practitioner and Chiropractor who blends Functional Medicine and Functional Neurology. He works with patients battling concussion, depression, anxiety, PTSD, dizziness, vertigo, and other neurological-based conditions.After he jumped into the brain injury world, he discovered that his wife had battled with brain injuries since being a teenager. This caused a variety of symptoms including brain fog, fatigue, sleep disorder, dizziness, and anxiety.We discussed:

The difference between a concussion and brain injury       


Myths that prevent individuals from getting proper treatment and evaluation for a concussion
The link between concussion and depression


How functional neurology is different from neurologists who do functional medicine
