109. Addictions Connection to Brain Injury | Evan Veron - Football, HBOT & Recovery

The Post Concussion Podcast - Life After A Brain Injury

Life has a way of throwing curveballs, and today's guest, Evan Veron, former Division 1 football player and now brain injury advocate, certainly knows a thing or two about that. Evan's journey from the football field to becoming a resource for concussion survivors is marked with overwhelming obstacles, personal demons, and the power of resilience. He provides a look into the world of sports injuries, sharing his struggle with post concussion syndrome and the crucial role hyperbaric oxygen therapy played in his recovery.
Drawing a critical connection between brain injuries and addictive behaviors, we engage in a discussion that's often overlooked – the impact of altered judgment and impulse control that may increase the susceptibility to addiction. Alongside, we delve into the significance of a supportive network like Concussion Connect and the need for open communication with medical professionals and loved ones. Listen in and become a part of a vital conversation that fosters awareness and understanding, making everyone part of the solution.
