The Life-Changing Method for Healing Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) impact millions every year, yet most recovery plans focus only on survival—leaving unresolved symptoms and missed opportunities for real healing. In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald interviews Dr. David Musnick, a leading expert in brain health and functional medicine, who reveals groundbreaking strategies for TBI recovery and cognitive improvement.
Discover how to tackle post-concussion syndrome, neuroinflammation, and blood-brain barrier damage with innovative tools like Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM), targeted supplements, and a brain-healing diet. Dr. Musnick also dives into the hidden influences of long COVID, Lyme disease, mold exposure, and even EMFs on brain recovery, offering practical, actionable insights for clinicians and patients alike.
In this video, you’ll learn:
How to differentiate between brain injury and brain insult.
The stages of TBI recovery and how to optimize each phase.
Supplements and dietary strategies to support neurogenesis and reduce inflammation.
The role of the gut-brain axis and how to restore balance.
Why sleep, pain management, and brain exercises are critical for healing.
How to overcome comorbidities like long COVID, Lyme disease, and mold exposure.
This episode is packed with life-changing insights for anyone recovering from a TBI or supporting patients with brain health challenges.
GUEST DETAILS
David Musnick MD
David Musnick MD is a Sports Medicine and Functional Medicine MD who practices in Eagle Idaho and Bellevue WA. In 2016 he developed the first program to heal the brain after Concussion based on the Pathophysiology mechanisms that go on after a Concussion and TBI. He has healed hundreds of patients and is published on his approach in the book Integrative Neurology.
In his practice he defines the brain areas that have been injured and develops a detailed approach to healing these areas. His approach integrates food choices, supplements, sleep, exercise, EMF protection, HBOT and Frequency Specific Microcurrent. He has expanded his approach to also treat Cognitive Impairment and other Neurological disorders such as MS and Parkinson’s. He sees patients in both Idaho and Washington but can see patients from other states on Telemedicine via a Peer to Peer consultation.
