Concussions don’t always look the same in men as they do in women.

Three common symptoms we often see:

1. Headaches that linger or worsen with screens or movement.

2. Neurological fatigue, feeling drained by basic tasks or conversations.

3. Hormonal shifts that can impact mood, energy, and sleep. 😵‍💤

At The FNC, we dig deeper to understand what your brain needs to function better.

Concussions often show up differently in men compared to women.

In this video, Dr. Jeremy Schmoe DC, DACNB, founder of The Functional Neurology Center, explains three of the most common concussion symptoms seen in male patients and why they’re important not to overlook.

1. Persistent headaches that don’t improve with time or rest.💤

2. Neurological fatigue where even small tasks feel draining or overwhelming.🧠

3. Hormonal changes that can affect mood, energy, motivation, and overall recovery. 😠

Dr. Schmoe shares how his personalized, brain-based approach helps uncover the root cause of these symptoms and supports long-term recovery through precise diagnostics and advanced therapies.

Experiencing chronic, unexplained dizziness? These strategies can help you manage symptoms and find relief.

Several conditions can drive maladaptive changes in your brain’s balance and sensory-processing systems. Specific causes, symptoms, and treatments may differ, but they all share a common thread: Your brain is struggling to recalibrate after a destabilizing event. These five conditions can all correspond to chronic dizziness.

Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD or Triple-PD)

PPPD typically develops after an illness or injury that affects balance. These include vestibular neuritis (inflammation of the vestibulocochlear nerve of the inner ear), concussion, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. It can also be triggered by acute stress, a migraine or panic attack, or a fainting episode.

Research suggests that patients with long COVID may be more susceptible. Functional neurologist J­eremy Schmoe, DC, DACNB, often sees patients with PPPD-like symptoms after they’ve experienced immune stressors, including mold exposure, Lyme disease, and chronic gut infections.

With PPPD, the brain is stuck in a heightened state of vigilance, misinterpreting normal movement and visual input as a threat. You may feel unsteadiness, motion sensitivity, lightheadedness, or nonspinning dizziness. Symptoms often get worse when standing or walking. Visually busy environments, like grocery stores or crowded places, can also be a trigger.

Treatment may include vestibular ­rehabilitation therapy, which is ­designed to help you regain control of gaze stability, physical stability, and balance. Cognitive behavioral therapy can retrain your brain and reduce symptoms. Medication may also be beneficial.

Schmoe often recommends an anti-inflammatory diet to support treatment. “If you’re doing these things and you’re still not feeling well, there could be something underlying going on that’s causing inflammation in the nervous system,” he says.

These five conditions can all correspond to chronic dizziness.

When we experience any kind of injury, inflammation naturally follows. As part of the body’s healing response, we need inflammation to help protect the injured area, clear out damaged cells, and signal the immune system to begin the repair process. When the injury involves the brain (as in a physi...
