The hormonal ripple effects of concussions are often overlooked in recovery, creating frustrating plateaus for patients despite their best rehabilitation efforts. These hidden disruptions in the endocrine system can dramatically impact recovery and require a nuanced approach to care.

• Dr. Tatiana Habanova brings together functional neurology and functional medicine to address post-concussion hormone disruption
• The hypothalamus is the only location in the brain where immune, hormonal and neurological systems all interconnect
• Recent research from 2023-2025 provides clearer evidence of specific hormonal disruptions following concussion
• Many concussion symptoms closely mirror hormone imbalance symptoms, making proper testing crucial
• Comprehensive testing, DUTCH tests and other important labs
• Tracking thyroid function, iron status (particularly ferritin), B12 and inflammatory markers
• Establishing baseline hormone levels when feeling well provides valuable reference points for future care
• Combining functional medicine with functional neurology addresses both neurological pathways and resulting hormonal imbalances

Join us next week for part two of this important conversation where we'll dive deeper into specific treatment approaches and protocols.
