Dr. Dan Daneshvar, a brain injury physician at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, joins us to break down the cognitive symptoms of concussion, such as memory loss, trouble concentrating and issues with speech. Along with Dr. Daneshvar, you’ll hear from former college football player Isaiah Osborne about his cognitive issues post-concussion and what adjustments he’s made to focus on his brain health.

Concussion Game Plan, an official podcast from the Concussion Legacy Foundation, is designed to help patients and caregivers navigate acute concussion recovery. The top experts in the field lend their expertise to help guide you through the concussion symptoms you can expect, how long they may last, and how to best manage them. Each episode also features advice from someone who has suffered a concussion and handled the ups and downs of recovery. Concussion can be an isolating, confusing injury. Concussion Game Plan is here to help, and remind you, you are not alone.

Concussion Game Plan is hosted by CLF CEO Dr. Chris Nowinski and produced by Julia Manning and Brandon Boyd. Subscribe to Concussion Game Plan wherever you get your podcasts!
