Take Back My Brain Podcast | Featuring Dr. Joe O'Tool



Can one concussion really change your brain for years? The answer might surprise you.


Dr. Joe recently joined the Take Back My Brain podcast with Laurie Hammer to discuss the science behind concussions, neuroplasticity, and why brain injuries often affect much more than just headaches.


In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why concussion symptoms can last far longer than expected

• The connection between vision, balance, reaction time, and brain function

• How the brain can heal through neuroplasticity

• Why sleep, nutrition, movement, neck strength, and neuro-visual rehabilitation all play a critical role in recovery

• What parents, athletes, and anyone who’s experienced a head injury should know


Whether you’ve had a concussion yourself, have a child involved in sports, or simply want to understand how the brain works, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-informed insights.


Give it a listen (you can find it on Spotify and Apple Podcasts) and let us know what stood out to you!
