Innovative Approaches to Restoring Brain Function After Concussion and TBI

The brain’s ability to recover after trauma is astonishing—and
often overlooked in conventional care. In this episode of New
Frontiers in Functional Medicine, I sit down with Dr. David
Musnick, a long-time friend and brilliant clinician, to explore how
we can unlock the brain’s full potential for healing. Dr. Musnick
challenges the standard of care for traumatic brain injuries and
post-concussion syndrome, introducing a functional medicine
approach that integrates advanced tools like Frequency-Specific
Microcurrent, targeted nutritional strategies, and personalized
interventions. His insights into the stages of recovery, the
importance of addressing neuroinflammation, and the role of the
gut-brain connection were a true "aha" for me. We also dive into
groundbreaking methods for reversing secondary brain damage, a
concept that could change everything for patients and practitioners
alike. This conversation is packed with actionable takeaways and
hope for those navigating brain injuries, cognitive impairment, or
persistent post-concussion symptoms. You don’t want to miss
it.~DrKF Check out the show notes at

is a Sports Medicine and Functional Medicine MD who practices in
Eagle Idaho and Bellevue WA. In 2016 he developed the first program
to heal the brain after Concussion based on the Pathophysiology
mechanisms that go on after a Concussion and TBI. He has healed
hundreds of patients and is published on his approach in the book
Integrative Neurology. In his practice he defines the brain areas
that have been injured and develops a detailed approach to healing
these areas. His approach integrates food choices, supplements,
sleep, exercise, EMF protection, HBOT and Frequency Specific
Microcurrent. He has expanded his approach to also treat Cognitive
Impairment and other Neurological disorders such as MS and
Parkinson’s. He sees patients in both Idaho and Washington but can
see patients from other states on Telemedicine via a Peer to Peer
consultation. THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS DIAMOND DUTCH:
