What if the symptoms you’ve been told to “just live with” — brain fog, PTSD, depression, addiction, and repeated head trauma — could actually be reversed?Can ibogaine help heal traumatic brain injury, PTSD, addiction, and even symptoms linked to CTE?In this powerful episode of The HeadRush Podcast, Paul Frase and Corey Berry sit down with Trevor Millar, co-founder of Ambio Life Sciences, to break down one of the most controversial and promising conversations in modern brain health: ibogaine therapy.Trevor shares how Ambio Life Sciences is helping veterans, former NFL players, special forces operators, and trauma survivors address traumatic brain injuries, repeated head impacts, neuroinflammation, addiction recovery, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and neurological dysfunction through plant-derived medicine and intensive therapeutic protocols.They dive deep into the Stanford-backed ibogaine study involving special forces veterans with diagnosed TBI, where post-treatment fMRI scans showed significant improvements in blood flow and major reductions in PTSD, depression, anxiety, and disability scores. Trevor also shares real-world stories from Navy SEALs, former professional athletes, and severe TBI patients whose lives dramatically changed after treatment.The conversation also explores how ibogaine differs from psilocybin, ayahuasca, and other psychedelic therapies, why states like Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and New Hampshire are pushing legislation forward, and why many believe ibogaine could become one of the most important breakthroughs in brain trauma recovery.If you’ve been told “it’s all in your head,” this episode may change everything.Because at The HeadRush Podcast, the mission remains the same:How to cope and find hope.Supported by: Patrick Risha CTE Awareness Foundation | Millennium Health Centers | Millennium Health Store | Paradise Behavioral Health | McWellness – Cristal Clark | Ambio Life SciencesSupport and Donate to the Headrush Foundation here:https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SSTCMZF9E4Y2CDISCLAIMER: This podcast is for general information only and does not constitute the practice of medicine.

A single executive order just cracked open decades of restriction on psychedelic medicine—could this finally change the future of PTSD, addiction, and brain trauma?A major shift just hit the medical and mental health world.In this episode of The HeadRush Podcast, Paul Frase and Corey Berry react in real time to a newly signed executive order from Donald Trump directing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to accelerate the review and research of psychedelic therapies—specifically focusing on Ibogaine.For decades, substances like Ibogaine and psilocybin have been heavily restricted. Now, with federal funding, expedited clinical pathways, and renewed scientific attention, the conversation has shifted from prohibition… to possibility.Paul and Corey break down:What the executive order actually does (and what it doesn’t)Why Ibogaine is gaining attention for PTSD, addiction, and brain traumaThe role of veterans and real-world case stories in pushing this forwardThe science behind neuroplasticity, dendritic growth, and brain recoveryWhy traditional treatments like SSRIs often fall shortThe risks, safety concerns, and why this is NOT a free-for-all solutionWhat this means for the future of mental health treatment in the U.S.This episode is raw, real, and grounded in lived experience—from two men who understand the long-term effects of repeated head trauma.⚠️ Important: This conversation is for awareness and discussion only. Paul and Corey are not doctors and are not recommending or prescribing any treatment. Always consult a qualified medical professional.If this research delivers on its promise, it could reshape how we approach brain health, addiction recovery, and trauma healing.But the question remains…Is this the beginning of a breakthrough—or just the first step into unknown territory?Supported by:Patrick Risha CTE Awareness Foundation | Millennium Health Centers | Millennium Health Store | Paradise Behavioral Health | McWellness – Cristal Clark

Most mental health treatments fail—not because patients are broken, but because the root cause is being missed.Dr. Mizyl Damayo, Medical Director of Paradise Behavioral Health, returns to The HeadRush Podcast to break down why traditional psychiatry often fails—and what it actually takes to create lasting healing.After a decade in conventional practice, Dr. Damayo saw the same pattern over and over: patients cycling through medications with little to no long-term improvement. That realization led her to develop a precision-based approach—one that looks beyond symptoms and into the real drivers of mental health struggles.In this episode, we go deep into:Why up to 75% of psychiatric medications fail for patientsThe role of genetics (MTHFR, COMT, BDNF) in mental health treatmentHow neuroinflammation, hormones, and gut health impact the brainWhy SSRIs don’t work for everyone—and what to do insteadThe connection between brain injury, mood disorders, and cognitive declineHow the BrainWell Program combines traditional and integrative psychiatryWhy “treatment-resistant depression” may be a misdiagnosisWhat it really means to create a “neuropermissive” environment for healingDr. Damayo also shares how tools like TMS, hormone optimization, genetic testing, and targeted supplementation can help patients who feel like they’ve tried everything.If you’ve ever been told “it’s all in your head” but know something deeper is going on—this conversation will change how you think about mental health.Supported by:Patrick Risha CTE Awareness FoundationMillennium Health CentersMillennium Health StoreParadise Behavioral HealthMcWellness – Cristal Clark, MA, LPC-S

Corey Berry and Paul Frase pull back the curtain on the mission behind the HeadRush Foundation and why this work matters so deeply to them. In this episode of The HeadRush Podcast, they talk openly about repeated head impacts, TBI, TES, suspected CTE, the long-term effects of brain trauma, and the very real challenges facing athletes, veterans, first responders, and others living with neurological symptoms that too often get ignored.They also break down the vision for the HeadRush Foundation as an official 501(c)(3), including plans to help people access treatment, education, emotional support, and real-world resources. Corey and Paul share why the Foundation exists, who it aims to help, and how they hope to grow it into something much bigger, including long-term support options and a future neuro-rehab model built around hope, healing, and access to care.This conversation also explores several recovery modalities and therapies they are researching or personally experiencing, including TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), red light therapy / photobiomodulation, neurofeedback, vestibular therapy, cold exposure, and other emerging treatment conversations around brain health. They speak from lived experience, not from a physician’s chair, and repeatedly stress the importance of doing your own research and working with qualified medical professionals.Along the way, Paul shares perspective from his 11-year NFL career, including what contracts looked like before today’s massive deals, while Corey brings the lens of professional rodeo, chronic symptoms, and his diagnosis journey. The bigger message is simple: this is about hope, awareness, access, and action for people living with the fallout of repeated head trauma.If you or someone you love is dealing with the effects of repeated head impacts, brain injury symptoms, overstimulation, depression, memory issues, rage, anxiety, or neurological decline, this episode is for you.To learn more, visit headrushfoundation.org and headrushpodcast.com.Supported by: Patrick Risha CTE Awareness Foundation | Millennium Health Centers | Millennium Health Store | Paradise Behavioral Health | McWellness – Cristal Clark

25+ concussions. Years of silence. Then everything collapsed—this is how Rico Petrini fought his way back.What happens when decades of repeated head impacts finally catch up—and your brain starts to break down?In this episode of The HeadRush Podcast, Paul Frase (11-year NFL veteran) and Corey Berry (former professional rodeo athlete) sit down with Rico Petrini, a former Oregon State linebacker who endured 25+ concussions and thousands of subconcussive hits before experiencing a life-altering neurological crash.Years after football, Rico’s symptoms hit hard: severe depression, suicidal ideation, memory loss, sleep disruption, tremors, tinnitus, explosive anger, cognitive decline, and sensitivity to light and sound. What looked like a normal post-athletic life turned into a fight for survival.Rico opens up about:Living with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and suspected CTEThe delayed impact of repeated head trauma (RHI)Neuroinflammation and its role in brain dysfunctionBrain scans, white matter damage, and nervous system breakdownWhy so many athletes feel dismissed or misdiagnosedDiet, sleep, and anti-inflammatory recovery strategiesHis experience with photobiomodulation (red light therapy) through a University of Utah studyMost importantly—he shares what actually helped him start rebuilding his brain, restoring function, and finding hope again.This episode is for:Athletes (football, hockey, rodeo, wrestling, rugby, etc.)Veterans and anyone exposed to repeated head impactsPeople struggling with post-concussion symptomsFamilies and caregivers navigating behavioral or cognitive changesAnyone dealing with depression, brain fog, or emotional instability after traumaIf you’ve ever been told “you’re fine” but know something isn’t right—this conversation matters.At The HeadRush Podcast, the mission stays the same: cope and find hope.Supported by:Patrick Risha CTE Awareness FoundationMillennium Health CentersMillennium Health StoreParadise Behavioral HealthMcWellness – Cristal Clark🎧 Watch the full conversation:👉 https://headrushpodcast.com📲 Follow HeadRush Podcast on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook & LinkedIn👍 Like | 🔁 Share | 💬 Comment to help amplify conversations that matter

What if the gear parents trust most is giving them a false sense of safety?Not every product marketed to “protect” athletes is solving the real problem.In this episode of The HeadRush Podcast, Paul Frase and Corey Berry break down the hard truth about brain trauma in contact sports, including football, rodeo, wrestling, hockey, and other activities involving repeated head impacts. They challenge the growing market of products and technologies promoted as concussion solutions and explain why reducing impact at the surface is not the same as protecting the brain inside the skull.This conversation digs into Guardian Caps, youth football, practice contact, concussion risk, repeated head impacts, CTE, traumatic brain injury, and the dangerous false sense of security that can come from gear marketed as “safer.” Paul and Corey also discuss why limiting contact in practice, delaying exposure to concussive sports, and educating parents and coaches may matter more than expensive add-ons.If you are a parent, coach, athlete, caregiver, veteran, or someone concerned about brain health, TBI, CTE, concussion prevention, and repeated head impacts, this is a conversation you need to hear.Supported by: Patrick Risha CTE Awareness Foundation | Millennium Health Centers | Millennium Health Store | Paradise Behavioral Health | McWellness – Cristal Clark#HeadRushPodcast #CTEAwareness #ConcussionAwareness #BrainHealth #TBI #YouthSports #FootballSafety #HeadInjury #AthleteSafety #ProtectTheBrain #SportsSafety #ConcussionPrevention #BrainTrauma #GuardianCaps #ContactSports #ParentsOfAthletes

Brain injury can isolate people fast. Tyler Ambrose explains why support, community, and hope can change everything.When brain injury makes people feel isolated, support can become survival.In this episode of The HeadRush Podcast, Paul Frase and Corey Berry sit down with Tyler Ambrose, Peer Support Coordinator at the Concussion & CTE Foundation, to talk about the real impact of peer support groups for people living with concussion, concussion symptoms, traumatic brain injury (TBI), suspected CTE, post-concussion syndrome (PCS), and repeated head impacts.Tyler explains how support groups help patients and caregivers feel heard, understood, and less alone while providing real resources, connection, and hope.The conversation covers CTE awareness, brain trauma, caregiver stress, suicidal ideation, memory struggles, emotional volatility, recovery support, and why community matters so much when someone is fighting to hold onto life and identity.The Concussion & CTE Foundation, co-founded by Dr. Chris Nowinski and Dr. Robert Cantu, works with leading physicians and professionals connected to Boston University to advance research and support for people affected by CTE, TBI, and repeated head impacts. In this episode, Tyler shares how that mission shows up in real life through peer-to-peer connection and support.If you or someone you love is dealing with brain injury, concussion recovery, suspected CTE, or caregiver burnout, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone.Supported by:Patrick Risha CTE Awareness Foundation | Millennium Health Centers | Millennium Health Store | Paradise Behavioral Health | MC Wellness – Cristal Clark, MA, LPC-SFollow, share, and leave a review to help us spread awareness around brain health, concussion recovery, CTE, TBI, caregiver support, and hope.#HeadRushPodcast #TylerAmbrose #ConcussionAndCTEFoundation #CTE #TBI #BrainInjury #ConcussionRecovery #PostConcussionSyndrome #PCS #RepeatedHeadImpacts #BrainHealth #MarshallingCTE #MentalHealth #CaregiverSupport #CTEAwareness #ChrisNowinski #RobertCantu #BostonUniversity #PatrickRishaFoundation #StopCTE #MillenniumHealthCenters #ParadiseBehavioralHealth #MCWellness 

A 9/11 survivor with a fractured skull and years of concussion fallout, Mike Dempsey shares the real cost of trauma—and the tools, people, and hope that helped him rebuild his life.Mike Dempsey’s life is the definition of resilience. Born and raised in Brooklyn, he chased elite athletics—football, baseball, even boxing—before building a successful corporate career. Then September 11, 2001 changed everything.Mike was inside the World Trade Center complex when the first plane hit. Minutes later, near Tower One, he was knocked unconscious as the second plane struck—suffering a fractured skull and internal bleeding. What followed wasn’t just survival. It was years of navigating PTSD, memory loss, brain fog, vertigo, executive function challenges, and the terrifying experience of not recognizing your own brain.In this powerful episode of The HeadRush Podcast, Paul Frase and Corey Berry sit down with Mike to unpack:What it was like inside the WTC on 9/11The hidden aftermath of traumatic brain injury (TBI)Repeated head impacts (RHI) and long-term brain healthA later concussion that “broke the camel’s back”The darkest months—and how he fought backNeurofeedback therapy and emerging recovery modalitiesWhy “finding your helpers” can save your lifeThis conversation is raw, honest, and hopeful.

This week, HeadRush goes across the pond with Roy Heaney and Rich Coates from the UK’s Marshalling CTE Foundation—former rugby players turned advocates confronting the realities of repeated head impacts (RHI), TBI, TES, and probable CTE.Roy and Rich share what happens when elite and grassroots athletes hit a breaking point and are told it’s “just anxiety” or “just depression,” despite years of collisions, concussions, and sub-concussive hits. They break down the differences between rugby league and rugby union, the cumulative damage of contact sports, and why so many players—and their families—are left without answers or support.This conversation goes beyond sport. It addresses the families, spouses, and caregivers who carry the weight alongside those suffering, and why the Marshalling CTE Foundation was created as a support-first community when institutions, leagues, and healthcare systems fall short.If you’ve experienced brain fog, rage, depression, anxiety, memory loss, or personality changes after head trauma—and felt dismissed or unheard—this episode is for you.You are not weak. You are not alone. And this is not just in your head.Mantra of the episode: Stronger together.If you’ve been told “it’s all in your head,” but you know something is wrong—listen closely.👍 Like, comment, and share to help this reach the people who need it. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly conversations on brain health, trauma, recovery, and hope.👉Learn more and explore all episodes at headrushpodcast.com#MarshallingCTEFoundation #RoyHeaney #RichCoates #HeadRushPodcast #CTE #BrainHealth #Rugby #TBI #Concussion #MentalHealth #Neuroinflammation #HeadTrauma #TES #RHI #BrainHealth #MentalWellness #AddictionRecovery #StopStigma #BrainInjuryAwareness #StopCTE #TBIRecovery #VeteranSupport #MentalResilience #health #mentalhealth #MillenniumHealth #MillenniumHealthStore #ParadiseBehavioralHealth #tripharlan #PatrickRishaCTEAarenessFoundation #McWellness #VeteranStrong

When you hear “psychiatry,” you probably think mental health — not brain injury. But the truth is, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) doesn’t just hurt the brain… it changes how we feel, think, and connect with the world.Depression, apathy, addiction, even unprovoked anger — these aren’t just emotional struggles; they’re symptoms of an injured brain trying to heal.In this powerful episode, two leading doctors share what’s really happening inside the injured brain — how genetics, chronic inflammation, and even nutraceuticals can shape recovery. You’ll also learn what a “neuro-permissive environment” is — and why it’s one of the most important keys to long-term healing.🧠 You’ll discover:How psychiatry plays a vital role in brain injury recoveryWhy inflammation can cause mental health symptomsHow your genes affect your brain’s ability to healThe science behind supplements that support recovery🎙️ Brought to you by The HeadRush PodcastLearn more at HeadRushPodcast.com#TBI #BrainInjury #MentalHealth #HeadRushPodcast #BrainHealing #CTEAwareness #Neuroscience #Psychiatry #BrainRecovery #BrainHealth
