In the previous interview with Austin Durant (see Episode 1), the founder of Fermenters Club and I chatted about :

• How soon can the risk of suicide show up after a concussion?
• Why can one concussion indicate the potential of having future concussions?
• Why is it urgent that people who’ve never had a concussion subscribe and download information about concussions through these episodes?

It was an eye-opening episode where I became perhaps a little too vulnerable about my experiences. If you didn’t have a chance to listen yet, I would highly recommend that you download Episode 1.

In Part 2 of our interview with the founder of Fermenter’s Club, Austin Durant shares the exciting new notions of science that there may be be a connection between gut and brain health. Why would this be important to concussion survivors? Because when there has been a brain injury, we need to nurture our brain tissue as well as we can.

Additionally, as many concussion survivors know, depression or anxiety after a concussion can be one of the unpleasant side effects of a concussion.

What I love about this interview is that Austin shares details about the new science that is starting to show that a healthy gut can help with depression and anxiety. He talks about psychobiotics that can have positive support mechanisms for our moods - even for people who haven’t sustained a concussion. It’s truly exciting stuff! And guess what? He even shares an easy recipe that can help. So, let’s listen in!

As always, seek the advice of your care provider before making any adjustments to your life after a concussion.
