EP221 Boxing, Booze & Bad Decisions. What Can Break Our Brains? | Dr Kim Gorgens

Published: Oct. 3, 2021, 6 p.m.

Brains matter. According to Dr Kim Gorgens who joins me today to unpack all matters of brain health, damage, recovery & function.

\n

As a competitive boxer, occasional insomniac and teenage binge drinker along with a handful of other black marks against healthy brain development along the way I dare say Dr Kim Gorgens left me rethinking (with watch functional cells I have left) some of the experiences I have had in life.

\n

As a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist Doc Gorgens has spent years researching, speaking and teaching around the area\u2019s of youth sport concussion, neurorehabilitation, brain injuries and the criminal justice system, to name a few. In this podcast we talk lot about what we should be aware of when it comes to contact sport, childhood trauma, exercise and brain health \u2013 I LOVED this conversation, wouldn\u2019t have minded having it a good 3 decades ago though.

Enjoy!
