More than 4.8 million people in the U.S. visit the emergency room every year to be evaluated for concussions and brain injury. The two biggest groups at risk are the youth and elderly, but everyone is at risk. Tune in to this episode to hear an in-depth discussion about: What is a concussion and what causes it? How did omega-3 essential fatty acids in fish oil first become effective in treating concussions and more serious brain injuries? How much fish oil should a concussion victim take after experiencing head trauma? Why are omega-3 essential fatty acids important for brain health? How can listeners make sure they are getting enough omega-3s? Besides head trauma victims, who can benefit from taking omega-3 supplements? What is the role of CBD in the treatment of head trauma?
