Football Players Show Subtle Brain Differences Linked to CTE Risk

A large MRI study found that football players’ brains show minute but consistent groove differences associated with CTE risk.

The changes—shallower frontal sulci and wider temporal sulci—mirror patterns found in autopsied CTE cases.

Researchers say these subtle shifts may serve as early biomarkers for the disease, which currently can only be diagnosed after death.

The discovery opens new possibilities for tracking brain health in athletes exposed to repeated head impacts.

This concept is very important to understand. Your relationship with your surroundings, including gravity, will determine your health and well being. It's not just about Pain. Pain is just another indicator that this relationship is failing.

🧠 The baseline level of brain activity comes mainly from the constant flow of input from gravity — that is, input from postural muscles and other tendon, joint, and skin receptors.

This is why auditory stimulation alone is not enough to make the brain work as a whole. The big muscles must be worked as well.

The best way to test hearing and auditory processing is through formal testing with an audiologist. If your child has had a hearing test, find out if there was a hearing difference in the two ears.

If one ear is hearing less, even if both ears are within normal limits, this may signify an imbalance in the brain. The audiologist, however, may not look at this.

The health benefits from exercise are far greater than you realize! Take ACTION!

Most people think of their calf muscles only in terms of movement, but they play a far greater role. The soleus and gastrocnemius muscles act as a powerful “second heart,” pushing blood back up to your chest every time they contract. Tiny one-way valves in your veins work alongside this pump to keep circulation flowing against gravity.

When the calf pump weakens from too much sitting or lack of activity, circulation slows. This can raise the risk of blood clots, varicose veins, swelling, and even heart strain. But the good news? Just a few minutes of simple daily moves like calf raises, ankle flexes, or walking can keep these muscles strong and your blood flowing.

A healthy calf pump means better circulation, reduced blood pressure, and long-term protection for your heart. Take care of your calves they’re working overtime for your health.

The sooner a potential problem is identified, the sooner corrective action can be taken, and the better the longterm outcome will be.

This is why I disagree with pediatricians who put “normal” development on a broad scale and tell parents that they shouldn’t be too concerned if their child is late crawling, walking, talking, or achieving other major milestones.

Yes, children are individuals and therefore different, and everyone develops at their own pace. However, this is true only to a degree— and in my experience it is a small degree.

Sure, if a child doesn’t walk exactly at age one, it’s not of immediate concern. But if a child isn’t walking by fourteen months, then it should be a concern.

Developmental problems are not usually considered until a child is three years old and not yet speaking. However, most children could be diagnosed at least a year and sometimes two years earlier if closer attention were paid to their milestones.

The connection between H. pylori and systemic health extends beyond common digestive symptoms. This bacteria suppresses stomach acid production, creating a cascade of effects that impact protein digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health. Research shows direct links between H. pylori colonization and increased risks of cardiovascular disease and autoimmune conditions.

Dr. Kharrazian links H. pylori to various chronic conditions. His evidence-based approach helps practitioners identify and address these infections before they lead to serious complications.

Transform your understanding of this common but often misunderstood pathogen. Register now to learn cutting-edge protocols for addressing H. pylori and its systemic effects.
