Committing to a lifetime of medication isn't a desired outcome for many, myself included. Many of the symptoms one experiences after traumatic brain injury present as psychiatric symptoms, but are coming from neuroinflammation and are not resolved with medication alone. Medication is a useful tool to manage symptoms, but the ultimate goal should be addressing the reason why those symptoms presented in the first place.

In this interview clip with Dr. Mark Gordon, he talks about the importance of addressing the underlying issue of symptoms and that, in doing so, he has helped people return to wellness enough that they could start coming off of medication. Many of these medications are usually prescribed indefinitely, or at least they were for me. I am now on a lot fewer prescriptions, and it's due to this concept. There's a better way to treat traumatic brain injury.

Last week, I submitted this letter to Senator Raphael Warnock, urging him to stand behind patients' rights and take action against the FDA's decision to restrict access to natural dessicated thyroid supplements or NDT. In it, I cited the length of time that NDT has been safely used and mentioned the FDA's oversight of the real-world experience of patients. Whether this will amount to anything remains to be seen, but I had to try. I'll keep you posted should I receive a response.

Cause and effect is such an important concept in medicine that requires a deep understanding of human physiology, but sadly, within the conventional medical system, many times this is overlooked and traded for symptom relief with pharmaceuticals. Care for traumatic brain injury is a prime example of this and is why many are unable to fully or even partially recover.

In this interview clip with Dr. Mark Gordon, he explains how three common symptoms of traumatic brain injury occur. Depression, insomnia, and anxiety are common traumatic brain injury symptoms that are due to a domino effect that starts with inflammation and free radicals. This then leads to damaged enzyme pathways that produce serotonin, causing depression. As the dominoes continue to drop, insomnia and panic soon follow.

Masking symptoms with pharmaceuticals will never heal these issues. We deserve better.

There are a lot of misconceptions out there about concussions, and everything from limited and inadequate testing to concussion classification can prevent someone from receiving a traumatic brain injury diagnosis. This then keeps them from receiving the care they need to function after sustaining brain damage.

In this interview clip with Dr. Mark Gordon (), he discusses two common misconceptions about concussion care: hormone dysregulation can occur even without damage to the pituitary gland, and that for a concussion to be meaningful, one must lose consciousness. As he has observed in his practice, notable personality changes can occur overnight, even from a subconcussive blow, such as a minor ding or fall. It really makes me wonder about the true number of people out there who have brain damage, but are just unaware.

Guys, I'm so friggin proud right now I could cry. Meet Bessie, Big Farma's first genetically modified and therefore patentable cow. We had the boys in the shop modify her to sit up like a dog to decrease the amount of square footage needed for pasture. With close to half the amount of space now needed, do you know how many more we can farm? Like TWICE!!1! 😱🤯 They also tweaked her a bit so that she is completely pest resistant, because you know what they say: if mother nature won't eat it, I sure will!

Hormone replacement can only be as good as the testing used to determine your levels, but what if I told you that a simple s*x hormone test isn’t enough?

In this interview clip, Dr. Mark Gordon () discusses the importance of testing and how standard hormone tests may fall short. A larger net needs to be cast to fully understand where we are hormonally. To properly treat hormone imbalances, one must look at as much of the entire cascade of hormones as possible because not doing so can impact the production of other necessary hormones, creating a trickle-down effect.
