The Vibrant Wellness Podcast Concussion Expert: Uncovering the Brain-Gut Connection in Concussions with Dr. Ken Cooper, DC
Dr. Ken Cooper, a leader in concussion recovery, joins the Vibrant Wellness Podcast to introduce his innovative "Concussion CPR" protocol. When his daughter faced a traumatic brain injury, Dr. Cooper pioneered a method that combines chiropractic care with neurological exercises to support brain recovery. Through impactful case examples, including a rugby player who regained movement after paralysis, Dr. Cooper underscores the critical role of early intervention and the powerful link between concussions and gut health.
Dr. Cooper explains practical aspects of his protocol, from using cold lasers to leveraging neuroplasticity. He highlights the risks of conventional pain relievers, like Tylenol, which may hinder the brain's natural recovery process, and instead advocates for non-pharmaceutical pain management strategies. Addressing the long-term effects of heavy metal toxins, he emphasizes the importance of protecting brain health at every age.
Dr. Cooper is dedicated to reshaping concussion treatment through education—informing healthcare professionals, coaches, and caregivers about best practices. He discusses his commitment to fostering cross-specialty collaboration to improve concussion care and his efforts to inform parents and sports communities. His upcoming book promises to expand on these insights, offering functional medicine providers actionable knowledge to enhance neurological recovery and long-term brain health.
