What You'll Learn
Class Outline
1
LESSON 1: You Can Heal Your Brain
Dr. Chapek reveals that even if you have suffered one or more head injuries—even if it was many years ago—it is still possible to heal your brain.
2
LESSON 2: Myths and Mechanisms of Concussions
In this lesson, Dr. Chapek debunks some of the myths about concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). He unlocks the underlying mechanisms of what happens when the brain is injured and shows how the damage can continue for weeks, months, or even years.
3
LESSON 3: Elements of Brain Injury Assessment
Many people who go to the hospital for a CT scan following a concussion are told they’ll be fine, but they aren’t. They can suffer from issues like depression, brain fog, and memory problems. Dr. Chapek explains the critical components that are missing from most brain injury assessments. And how getting an accurate diagnosis can help you feel better faster.
4
LESSON 4: What to Do if You’ve Had a Concussion
The standard concussion protocols are not necessarily the optimal protocols. Dr. Chapek gives tips that parents, schools, coaches, and individuals can implement to promote faster healing.
5
LESSON 5: The TBI First Aid Kit
Everybody has a first aid kit, but few of us have an emergency kit for head injuries. Dr.Chapek outlines the must-have essentials of a TBI first aid kit, including what to take immediately following a head injury and for the first week following the concussion to support healing.
6
LESSON 6: BRIGHT MINDS: Putting the Pieces Together
In this lesson, Dr. Chapek reveals the 11 major risk factors that can either prevent healing or support the recovery process. He uses the mnemonic BRIGHT MINDS to make them easier for you to remember. Learning which of the 11 risk factors you (or your loved one) have can help you understand how optimizing certain areas of your life can enhance post-concussion brain function.
7
LESSON 7: Supplements for Chronic Brain Injury
Dr. Chapek explores why medications may not be the best solutions for chronic brain injuries, and he delves into the science behind the supplements that can promote blood flow to the brain, calm inflammation, and support healing.
8
LESSON 8: Hormones for Healing
Did you know that 25-50% of people who have suffered a head injury have damaged their pituitary gland, the master hormone gland in the brain? Dr. Chapek explains how this negatively impacts neurohormone production, which can contribute to symptoms like depression, anxiety, low libido, low energy, memory problems, and what you can do about it.
9
LESSON 9: What to Eat to Heal Your Brain
Dr. Chapek outlines the foods that can make concussion symptoms worse as well as what to eat to heal the brain. He shares how making a few simple modifications to a very popular diet can make it the ideal brain-healing plan.
10
LESSON 10: Correcting Structural Integrity
In some cases, people who suffer a head injury also experience problems with the cervical spine or with the bones of the skull. These may cause a host of problems, such as headaches. Dr. Chapek explores steps you can take to correct misalignments associated with head trauma.
11
LESSON 11: Strengthening & Retraining Your Brain
Everybody understands that it can be beneficial to go to physical therapy after a soft-tissue injury to strengthen damaged muscles. Here, Dr. Chapek examines why it’s just as important to rehab your brain after a head injury. He shares exercises that are intended to strengthen areas of the brain associated with focus, memory, learning, moods, and more.
12
LESSON 12: Sleep
Dr. Chapek estimates that up to 70% of people with head injuries have sleep problems. In this lesson, he explains why sleep is so important for a brain recovery program and what you can do to get more restful sleep.
13
LESSON 13: Exercise & the Brain
Here, Dr. Chapek explains why getting your blood pumping can enhance overall brain function and mental well-being after experiencing head trauma. He also shares how to know when it’s safe to begin an exercise routine.
14
LESSON 14: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
In this lesson, Dr. Chapek discusses why he thinks hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the “magic bullet” for brain injuries. And he explains the mechanisms behind HBOT—a noninvasive treatment that involves breathing concentrated oxygen in a special pressurized chamber—and discusses the ideal number of sessions required to speed the healing process.
