The Concussion Naturopath

Kind of chic to treat concussion systemically.

Because concussion isn’t just a brain injury.

It’s a whole-body injury that can impact the gut, nervous system, immune system, hormones, energy production, sleep and so much more.

Looking beyond the brain means asking better questions, understanding the bigger picture and supporting the systems that influence recovery.

Whole-person care. Evidence-informed practice. A different approach to concussion care.

That’s the kind of chic we’re into.

Want to learn how to put this approach into practice?

Beyond the Brain is a six-session training designed for healthcare practitioners who want to bridge the gap between the latest concussion research and real-world clinical care.

Begins 19 August
Six live sessions on Zoom
Recordings available within 24 hours

Skin conditions and Concussion… what?

If you’re a Naturopath, Nutritionist, or GP… and a client comes to see you for say, eczema or rosacea, why would you need to think about concussions in their history?

Or - you’re a physio, chiro, osteo or sports physician who works with athletes exposed to concussion risk, why would you need to know if a player has eczema in their health history?

It seems odd! But it’s actually really important because alterations in the brain cause alterations in the gut, and then 🌀 all kinds of things can pop up!
- pre-existing eczema or past eczema ➡️ gut and immune function
- new onset eczema or sudden flare ➡️ gut and immune function

But asking the question can change everything
- how you treat that patient
- who you refer to / collaborate with
- what advice then becomes important for that individuals treatment journey

If you want to know all the nitty gritty - and I assure you, it’s worth it! Join me for Beyond the Brain, we start 19th August

Like seriously, WTF?

If we keep waiting for the big corporate sporting organisations to truly lead from the front and treat concussion systemically, I sadly think we’ll be waiting a while. And we don’t have time. People are suffering the insidious consequences of concussion injuries and they are in our clinics right now.

In every sport, at every level. From professional to amateur to just for fun - people deserve whole-person, individualised care that meets them where they’re at to improve their longterm health outcomes. We can not just keep saying ‘oh well’ to cognitive decline.

These patients are everywhere.
These patients are already in your clinic.
You may not even know these patients are in your clinic!

In every modality, we can all benefit from seeing concussion injuries as the systemic injury that they are and being able to identify in greater depth what is happening in someone’s physiology helps us help them better - better treatment, better referrals, better health outcomes

It would be amazing if the large, visible corporate organisations with high stakes in concussion outcomes would truly lead from the front from risk mitigation through to player care. Because this would go a long way to improving visibility, knowledge and access to care for all concussion injuries.

But sadly it just doesn’t seem to be really happening. So which side of the fence do you sit on? Waiting for the corporates to take action, and sitting with the current status quo. OR are you ready to just focus on the patients and the outcomes with the evidence and tools we already have right now whilst being committed to a continuous process of learning?

I know what side I’m on - I can’t sit back and watch people stare down the barrel of cognitive decline and do nothing when I know there are SO many things we can do.

Persistent concussion symptoms aren’t always just about the brain.

Emerging research shows that after a concussion, inflammation can extend beyond the brain, affecting the nervous system, immune system and the body as a whole. This ongoing inflammatory response may play a role in symptoms that linger long after the initial injury.

That’s why a whole-body approach to recovery matters.

As a naturopath, I look beyond symptom management to support the underlying drivers of persistent post-concussion symptoms. By addressing inflammation, supporting gut health, regulating the nervous system and optimising nutrition, we can help create the conditions for recovery.

Every concussion is different, and every recovery deserves an individualised approach.

If you’re still experiencing symptoms weeks or even months after a concussion, know that there may be more to explore.

When we think about concussion and head trauma, it’s easy to focus only on the brain. But the reality is that concussion can trigger a whole-body response.

One of the biggest pieces of the puzzle is neuroinflammation - the inflammatory process that occurs within the brain and nervous system after injury. This can also set off a cascade of changes throughout the body, affecting the gut, immune system, energy production, hormones, sleep and recovery.

The good news? There are so many tools in the naturopathic toolbox that can help support this process.

From targeted nutrition and herbal medicine to gut health, mitochondrial support and lifestyle strategies, naturopathic care takes a holistic approach to helping the body recover and restore balance after head trauma.

Every concussion is different, which is why personalised support matters.

If you’re still experiencing symptoms after a concussion, know that there are options to explore.

Did you know the supplements and vitamins you grab off the chemist shelf could be wasting your time… and your money?

Not all supplements are created equal.

The quality of ingredients, how they’re formulated, and whether your body can actually absorb them all play a huge role in whether they’re doing what you think they are.

When it comes to supporting brain health, concussion recovery, inflammation, or overall wellbeing, taking the right supplement is just as important as taking one at all.

As a naturopath, I take the guesswork out of supplementation by recommending evidence-informed, practitioner-only products that are selected specifically for your individual needs.

Because more isn’t always better… but the right support can make all the difference.

Are the supplements in your cupboard actually working for you?
