Functional Medicine for Concussion Recovery

This course introduces participants to the principles of functional medicine as they relate to concussion recovery, emphasizing the interconnected roles of neuroinflammation, nutrition, and the gut-brain axis in the healing process. Participants will review evidence-based interventions that target underlying physiological imbalances and promote optimal brain function. The session highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and explores the long-term benefits of integrating functional medicine into concussion rehabilitation. Attendees will be encouraged to engage with functional medicine practitioners to expand their clinical toolkit and enhance patient outcomes. This course consists of approximately 45 minutes of lecture and a handout.
