    What is Actually Happening in the Brain After a Concussion?

    In this episode, Dr. Robert Baric explains what actually happens inside the brain in the moments and hours after a head injury. A concussion triggers a rapid cascade of physiological changes, including a brain energy crisis, cellular stress, and disruptions to normal brain metabolism. During this critical window, the brain becomes especially vulnerable to additional injury. In this conversation we explore: • The immediate physiological shifts that occur after a head hit • Why the brain enters an energy crisis after concussion • The role ketones may play in brain recovery • Cellular changes and detoxification pathways following injury • Why repeated concussions can have cumulative effects • Common physical symptoms athletes and patients experience Understanding these processes can help parents, athletes, and clinicians better recognize the importance of early intervention and proper recovery protocols.
