Welcome back to another episode of the Post Concussion Podcast, where you’ll hear from Chelsie Moore, the founder of Moore Integrative Health. After years of not being able to find any solutions and wanting to get back to the things she loved, like being outdoors and mountain biking, Chelsie began to search elsewhere for relief from her daily battle with anxiety, depression, fatigue, and insomnia.

Looking to learn more about how your diet can influence your brain injury recovery? Post-concussion and all other brain injury survivors, go no further! This episode has it all!! Chelsie Moore functional medicine nutritionist, action sport aficionado, and all-around super-smart, bad-ass teaches us about all things brain and gut. We dive deep on neuroinflammation, the brain-gut connection, and hormonal imbalances along with what YOU can do to take control and get better. Grab your pencil and take notes; you’re going to feel inspired to take action after hearing this!

Topics covered in this episode:

Functional Medicine

Getting down to the root cause of what is going on with your health

Differs from Western medicine as it looks to treat what causes the problem instead of just treating the symptoms of the problem

Practitioners in functional medicine spend a lot more time with their clients to uncover root causes and provide individualized care

Chelsie’s Story--Motocross rider with multiple concussions

She lost 5 years of her 20s because she didn’t have the right help that she needed. As bad as it was, it led her to turn it on its head and became a functional medicine nutritionist to be able to help others heal their brains

Suicide prevention

Untreated brain injuries can lead to chronic inflammation causing mental health struggles which include suicidal thoughts

People may feel embarrassed to seek help if they’re having depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts. There can be a stigma in the action sports community to not seek help and suffer alone

Don’t be ashamed to ask for help: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ (https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/)

Neuroinflammation

There is a lot we can do for neuroinflammation

Brain injuries cause a breach to the blood brain barrier which allows toxins into the brain. That creates a cascade of reactions that cause inflammation (inflammation is an immune response)

Anti-inflammatory diet

Clean diet

The first most basic thing to do is to do lower inflammation in the brain is to eliminate gluten, dairy (casein), and sugar

gluten and casein fuel trigger an autoimmune reaction called molecular mimicry that fuels the vicious cycle of neuroinflammation

What has gluten in it?

Learn how to read your food labels. Most food labels have to say if it has wheat (gluten) in it

Autoimmune paleo diet: Fruits, vegetables ,grass fed meats, wild caught fish

Ketogenic diet: has the most research around it for neuroinflammation. Can be hard to maintain

How you exercise affects inflammation. Subthreshold high-intensity interval training protocols are best

It’s better to do something rather than nothing. It is ok if you can’t fully overhaul your diet overnight. Take it in small bits. Chelsie focuses on easing people in by assessing where they are at and making small changes over a period of time.

Maybe it is starting with just cutting sugar or gluten and then see how you feel

When you actually feel a difference you will be more inspired to make more changes. That is when you can introduce other changes

Get through two weeks of cutting sugar. You do detox and don’t feel well at first; but it gets better!!

EAT REAL FOOD, stop eating processed food
