Symptoms and Treatments For Concussions with Dr. Maynard Health & Fitness Redefined

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.
