What are the best long-term protocols for someone who has experienced TBI?
Beyond the generalized protocols you recommend in areas like nutrition, sleep, exercise, supplementation, etc., what are additional things people who have experienced TBI in the past should be doing to improve cognitive function and reduce the probability of diseases like CTE?
Shoulder pain due to repetitive use?
My professional swimming career was put on hold due to shoulder discomfort I've been facing in the pervious year. There was no injury involved just pain that varies from mild to severe after practice. I was wondering if besides all the standard rehab procedures (physical therapy, myofascial release, massage etc.) that turned out to be just a short term solution, there is anything that can help restore joint function on a long run?
Getting off of cannabis
I’ve been using cannabis daily (initially for sleep and more recently during the day for stress) for ~2-3 years and my husband for ~11 years (most of the day every day). We usually smoke (previously with a bit of tobacco) and rarely take edibles. We’re both 30, are entrepreneurs and athletes (with plenty of mental and physical stress), and are hoping to get pregnant in 2-5 years. After listening to the cannabis episode, I’m afraid of any damage we have done and definitely want to stop using chronically like we have been. What is the best way to do that and how can we minimize/prevent the potential lasting impacts? I’m mostly concerned about: - our fertility - my dependence for sleep, anxiety and depression - my husband’s use starting at age 20 Thank you. You’re an actual legend.
Reading, Reading Difficulties, and Dyslexia
Would you consider doing an episode on reading? I am a slow reader and have always felt like my eyes “jump” around while reading. But because I did well in school, it wasn’t investigated when I was a child. Given your expertise in vision, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on how we read, how we can do it better, why some people read differently than others, and what to do about it.
