  In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, can the environment you go home to matter more than the brain injury itself? Tommy Wood (MD PhD) makes the case that how you use your brain is the primary driver of how it functions — then digs into CTE mechanics, the myth of the brain "sloshing" in the skull, why animal models of concussion may fundamentally miss the point, ketogenic diets and mental health, AI as orthotic vs. prosthetic, and why obsessing over sleep data might hurt you more than poor sleep.🔥 This episode is sponsored by us --Own Your Labs 👉 `https://ownyourlabs.com/sp/33` Private blood testing services🩸Over 300 blood tests💰Extremely affordable❤️ We love our customers(Yes, we are literally funding the entire podcast from our own company -- so if you want to show your support, keep getting your private blood testing through our service.
