Symptoms and Treatments For Concussions with Dr. Maynard

Happy new year everyone! I am super pumped to start this week with an awesome episode about the symptoms and treatments for concussions. Dr. Perry Maynard discusses how even the shock wave from a sheer force can cause trauma and slow down normal brain functions. To describe this, he uses the analogy of going from high-speed Internet to AOL Dial-Up between communication "hubs" of the human brain. Dr. Maynard walks us through glucose metabolism disorder and long-term mental fatigue after suffering concussion. He also discusses how exercise is a potent protector of the brain against dementia, along with nutrition and pursuing your passion to keep the brain engaged.

🙋‍♂️ MEET THE HOST - Anthony Amen
My personal training journey started in college. Before that, I was never really into any aspect of fitness. I ate what I wanted, ran a 15 min/mile and couldn’t tell you the difference between a plank or a pushup. That all changed in college when I began playing intramural sports. Through complete trial and error, I quickly learned the technique and became obsessed with the gym. It wasn’t long until I learned how I could change my life and realized I can now accomplish things that everyone told me would be impossible.

Personal Training has taught me how to pass this knowledge onto others. I truly understand what it feels like to be hopeless and lost. I’ve helped many different clients of all backgrounds achieve their goals; this allowed them to witness changes that they didn't think were possible.

Redefine Fitness is my answer to all fitness questions. It's not about having the biggest muscles or being the fastest runner, rather it is about helping you redefine yourself into the best version that you can be! My goal now is to spread the word that life isn't worth giving up on and anyone can achieve anything. I plan on growing Redefine Fitness to a fully established brand, push myself into motivational speaking and eventually leave a permanent mark on this world
