How to Approach Brain Health After Traumatic Brain Injuries with Simone Fortier
Manage episode 420920169 series 3561650
A highly regarded lecturer, teacher, and innovative fascia therapist, Simone Fortier is also the author of How to Beat Brain Burps (an exercise-based way for children to ignite all facets of their brain for streamlined learning) and Gaining Control Over Pain which contains eleven secret healing therapies that patients can practice in their own time. As an acclaimed International Concussion Teacher and ADHD Consultant, her expertise extends far beyond the realms of traditional therapy. Simone is a Fascia Treatment and Course creator, whose results have been hailed as transformative by professionals across the globe, from the elite spheres of NHL, MLB, and NFL athletes to the precision-driven world of Olympic competitors. Simone sees the bigger picture and works backward. Knowing that treating the symptom of a problem will lead to continuous treatments without resolution, she teaches us to get to the root cause of the problem to create permanent change. Sought after in the four corners of the world, Simone's mission has always been to help people. Now, with her expertise in high demand, she travels the world to share her knowledge with Health Practitioners and Advanced strength Coaches so that their clients and athletes will have access to true fascia therapy and the ability to find real brain-boosting and pain-healing solutions in their own locations.
Together Dr. Simone and I discuss traumatic brain injury, brain health, ADHD, and specifically, healing in the 20% of people who do not heal from traumatic brain injuries within 4 weeks. Simone has personal experience with ADHD, traumatic brain injuries, and chronic pain, and has dedicated her professional life to serving those with brain injuries through systems that optimize healing with supplements that get the brain out of fight or flight mode. In our conversation, she underscores the danger of picking and choosing which supplements to take each day and highlights key components of her systematic approach to treating neurotransmitter issues. Simone also touches on the importance of attending to the fascia and offers simple techniques to engage the fascia for optimal health.
I’m your host, Evelyne Lambrecht, thank you for designing a well world with us.
