A concussion story most people never hear. Dr. Zimmerman and his wife, Sara, share the raw, real experience of navigating yet another concussion—from subtle early symptoms to the emotional toll it takes on daily life.

When symptoms don’t make sense—but your body knows something is wrong. Fatigue, mood swings, dizziness, nausea, memory lapses, and loss of motivation all appeared quickly, even after what seemed like a minor hit.

Why standard care often leaves people stuck. Learn how normal scans, generic treatments, and symptom-chasing can miss the true neurological drivers of post-concussion symptoms.

What actually made the difference this time. From vestibular and eye movement findings to targeted neurological therapies, hear how a personalized approach helped symptoms improve faster than expected.

A powerful reminder for anyone who’s been told “this is just how it is.” This episode challenges the belief that chronic concussion symptoms are permanent—and explains why the right care matters more than ever.

• What if a little-known brain fat could play a major role in fatigue, brain fog, and neurodegeneration? Dr. Zimmerman introduces plasmalogens and why they’ve become a key focus in complex neurological cases.
• Plasmalogens quietly protect brain, nerve, and heart cells—until levels drop. Learn how aging, inflammation, and chronic conditions may accelerate their loss and what that means for symptoms and disease progression.
• Emerging research links low plasmalogens to conditions like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, MS, and neuropathy. This episode explores what the science suggests—and why waiting years for “perfect data” isn’t an option for those suffering now.
• Why supplementation isn’t as simple as “take more.” Dr. Zimmerman breaks down absorption challenges, precursor strategies, and why dosing must be individualized.
• Plasmalogens aren’t a magic bullet—but when stacked with the right neurological and immune support, they may change the trajectory. Discover how they fit into a true brain-body, systems-based approach.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve tried “everything” and are still searching for answers that actually move the needle.

Myth #1: “It’s just anxiety.” Dr. Z breaks down why this misunderstanding leads to misdiagnosis, gaslighting, and years of unnecessary suffering.

Why drinking more water and pounding salt isn’t a real solution—and what’s actually driving your dizziness, fatigue, and tachycardia.

The shocking truth: Most POTS symptoms are neurological, not cardiovascular—and traditional testing completely misses it.

Why medications help some symptoms but never fix the root problem (and why you crash as soon as you stop them).

The biggest unlock: Your visual system, vestibular system, hormones, blood sugar, and immune health may be the hidden drivers your providers never checked.
