What's Your Wobble Protocol w/ Dr. Saeid Mushtagh

About this episode
Dr. Saeid Mushtagh shares his journey into naturopathic medicine and discusses the interconnected mind-body connection, particularly how brain injuries impact not just physical symptoms but also psychological and emotional processing. He explains how concussions create energy deficits in the brain due to mitochondrial dysfunction, requiring significant healing time and proper rest. Sleep is critically important for recovery and hormone balance, with Dr. Mushtagh recommending specific natural treatments like saffron, chaste berry, and pine pollen for hormone support.
Dr. Mushtagh explains that brain injuries can have long-lasting effects due to the brain's 7-year regeneration cycle, often leading to delayed symptoms like depression years after the initial injury. He notes that most available treatments focus on physical therapy rather than cognitive therapy, which can impact a patients' ability to work and maintain relationships. Dr. Mushtagh describes how brain injuries affect multiple systems including eye coordination and explains that initial treatment should address the brain's energy deficit by supporting mitochondrial function and cellular respiration.
Jerry shared his personal experience with his son's concussions and ADHD diagnosis, finding the discussion particularly relevant to his audience in the "sandwich generation" who may have experienced poor head injury care in the 1980s and 1990s.
