My Neurology in Hell Hole Canyon

In this 158th episode, I follow up on my last episode about my journey into and out of Hell Hole Canyon in the Southern California Anza Borrego desert. You already heard about my journey itself, but I felt it only fitting to explain just what happened to me physiologically. For example.... How can a person get so dehydrated with a stomach full of water?!? And just how might something like a history of gluten sensitivity and some head trauma contribute to the situation? It took me a while to figure that one out for myself. In fact, it took a year of Functional neurology training for me to fully grasp the mechanisms involved. Join me for a deeper dive into this rather peculiar chain of events. These things don't just happen to me... The mechanisms described in this episode are literally EVERYWHERE! For me, it was a backpacking trip. For you, it may be a nice day sailing out on the bay, or a day at an amusement park that sets the stage for something unexpected.
