Season 2 Episode 41
In this origins episode, Community Success Manager Nikki sits down with the three founders of the Concussion Fix program; Dr. Cameron Marshall (Sports Specialist Chiropractor), Melinda Krynen Hill (Licensed Therapist), and Dr. Paul Hrkal (Naturopathic Doctor), to share how and why the program was created, what makes it different from traditional concussion rehab, and the exciting results from their ongoing research study.

Key Topics Discussed
How the Concussion Fix program was born during the COVID-19 pandemic, when clinics shut down, and patients still needed support
The ”Concussion Care Maze”: why people get stuck cycling through treatments that don't address root causes
The Concussion Fix Recovery Pyramid: building the foundation before rehab
Mindset & nervous system regulation
Feeling safe & resilient
Inflammation, gut health, hormones & diet
Visual/vestibular rehab & neck therapy
Why traditional rehab often fails: rehab won't stick if foundational issues like inflammation, anxiety, and autonomic dysregulation haven't been addressed first
Concussion Fix 2.0: the updated program launched in Summer 2025, now running as a formal research study
Real data from 6,650 participants: most start with severe symptoms and reach near-normal within 100–120 days
What's included in the program: practical strategies to use at home, sleep hygiene guides, vagus nerve exercises, meal plans, diet diaries, hormone testing letters for doctors, and community support
 
Key Takeaways
PCS is not permanent. No matter what you've been told, there is no evidence that recovery stops at any point in time.
The foundation must come first. Mental health, autonomic regulation, inflammation, gut health, and hormones must be addressed before physical rehab.
You don't need expensive treatments. Recovery is built on lifestyle modifications you can do from home.
Persistent symptoms are often no longer brain-related. Issues like neck dysfunction, diet, and anxiety are frequently the true drivers.
You already have everything within you to recover. The program gives you the knowledge and tools to unlock it.
50% symptom reduction in just 30 days is the average for participants, even those suffering for years.
