Send us Fan MailThis episode traces the guest’s life from discovering track at age six through elite collegiate athletics, Olympic trials, and bobsledding, where repeated head trauma quietly set the stage for severe cognitive decline. Years later, he faced dementia-like symptoms, panic attacks, memory loss, and constant suicidal ideation before realizing he was suffering from CTE—a condition he couldn’t recognize in himself despite a background in mental health. The conversation ultimately centers on survival, purpose, and hope, highlighting hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a turning point and his mission to help veterans, athletes, and families recognize and treat brain injuries before it’s too late.
