Pushing The Limits

In this weeks episode, we will have the part two of Dr. Mark Gordon's episode. Dr. Gordon continues to shed light on how hormonal imbalances can exacerbate neuroinflammation, leading to prolonged recovery and chronic symptoms. We explore the importance of testing and optimizing hormones like growth hormone, IGF-1, IGF-BP3, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and pregnenolone to support brain health and recovery after traumatic and non traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Additionally, we delve into how environmental toxins and viruses can trigger or worsen neuroinflammation, impacting overall neurological health. Key Discussion Points: 1. Understanding the Role of Hormones in Brain Health - How hormones like growth hormone, IGF-1, and IGF-BP3 are involved in brain repair and neuroprotection. - The connection between estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and pregnenolone in maintaining cognitive function and mood stability. - Why hormonal imbalances are common after brain injuries and how they contribute to prolonged neuroinflam
