#115 - Inside the Athlete’s Brain - Understanding Concussions and Neurofeedback with Dr. Kevin Butterfield, Part 1

Inside the Athlete’s Brain Part 1: Understanding Concussions and Neurofeedback with Dr. Kevin ButterfieldWhat really happens inside the athlete’s brain after a concussion?In this first part of our two-part follow-up series with Dr. Kevin Butterfield, founder of Hippocampus Labs, we take a closer look at how concussions disrupt neural communication—and how neurofeedback is helping clinicians retrain the brain for faster recovery and peak performance.Following the overwhelming response to Episode 112: The Future of Sports Medicine – Brain Training with Neurofeedback, Dr. Butterfield returns to go deeper into the science, showing how brain mapping reveals what traditional imaging can’t. From understanding the gut–brain connection to decoding brain-wave dysfunction, this episode will challenge the way you view concussion management.💡 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:What neurofeedback is and how it differs from traditional imaging tools.How concussions cause electrical —not just structural —disruption in the brain.The link between brain inflammation, the vagus nerve, and gut health.Practical ways clinicians can begin integrating neurofeedback and brain mapping into sports-medicine and rehab practice.🎧 If you missed our earlier episode with Dr. Butterfield, you can access Episode 112 here🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS:Learn more about Hippocampus Labs and download a free white paper here🎙️ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Visit our website at faktrpodcast.com to leave a review or comment💻 SUBSCRIBE ON SUBSTACK: https://faktrpodcast.substack.com/
