When it comes to food for concussion, it’s often not the first thing that comes to mind. We had the absolute honour of sitting down with the incredible Dr Eric Rawson from Messiah University for The Compeat Waffle Podcast. Dr Rawson has literally spent his life exploring ways to optimise human performance, which led him to dedicate much of his research to the supplement creatine. During our conversation, we not only covered all things creatine (he truly is the king of this research) but also delved into the role of nutrition in concussion recovery and the opportunities it might offer.
In this discussion, Dr Eric Rawson brilliantly broke down what happens at the time of a concussion—the cascade of events that triggers the often debilitating symptoms. From brain swelling and bruising to damaged nerves and burst blood vessels, he explained how these physiological changes disrupt normal brain function and contribute to the challenges faced during recovery.
