from Life After Impact: The Concussion Recovery Podcast · host Ayla Wolf
Dr. Bagnell shares his 30-year journey as a "health detective" in functional neurology, revealing how he helps patients with persistent cognitive symptoms after brain injury through careful investigation and targeted interventions.• Brain fog often stems from disrupted neurovascular coupling, where blood flow fails to properly supply active brain regions• Dysautonomia (autonomic nervous system dysfunction) can create cognitive symptoms by limiting blood flow to the brain when needed• QEEG brain mapping identifies specific patterns of brainwave dysfunction, showing signatures of "too much delta and too much high beta" in concussions• The brain functions in interconnected networks rather than isolated regions, requiring comprehensive assessment• Combining "passive" therapies (neurofeedback, audiovisual entrainment) with "active" functional neurology exercises creates optimal recovery• Spatial awareness problems after concussion explain why patients frequently bump their heads• Brain activation can naturally restore neurotransmitter production without medication• Creating a personalized "brain formula" for each patient yields better results than one-size-fits-all approaches• Dolphin-assisted therapy provides unique neurological benefits through echolocation and movement patternsConnect with Dr. Bagnell:WebsiteInstagram Facebook The Neuro Collective Podcast Send us a Message!My new book The Art of Concussion Recovery: Following the Thread is available as an audiobook, paperback, hardcover, and Kindle on Amazon.
