011 - Health Movement Podcast - Jeff Podaszwa - Human Performance Optimization Team - Concussions - Pararescue Jumpers

In this episode of the Health Movement Podcast, hosts Derek and Tim welcome Jeff Podeszwa, an athletic trainer working with the Armed Forces and our guest with the hardest last name to spell! The conversation delves into the complexities of concussion management, including definitions, symptoms, assessment tools, and treatment approaches. Jeff shares insights from his experience in both collegiate athletics and military healthcare, emphasizing the importance of understanding the individual nature of concussions and the need for tailored rehabilitation. The discussion also highlights the role of hydration, nutrition, and overall health in recovery, as well as the unique challenges faced by para rescue troopers in maintaining peak performance.

It was great having a chance to speak with Jeff. He's incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to athletic training/therapy and the focus on concussions will be very valuable to people in all walks of life.
