In Part 2 of my conversation with Jordan J. Adams, founder of the United Fight Alliance and longtime combat sports commentator, we move beyond the problem of concussion and into the search for solutions.
After experiencing multiple concussions, a family history of Alzheimer's disease, and growing concerns about his own cognitive health, Jordan began what he describes as a mission to ”save his brain.” Over the past decade, he has explored countless therapies, lifestyle changes, and recovery strategies in an effort to improve brain function, reduce brain fog, and protect his long-term neurological health.
Together, we discuss the interventions that Jordan believes have moved the needle most in his recovery, including photobiomodulation, intermittent fasting, exercise, cold exposure, nutrition, sleep, and the importance of developing a daily practice that supports both brain and body.
We also explore the science of neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, the gut-brain connection, inflammation, and why recovery often requires addressing many different factors simultaneously rather than searching for a single magic solution.
Topics discussed include:
• Photobiomodulation and brain health
• Neuroplasticity and neurogenesis
• Exercise as medicine for the brain
• Fasting, metabolism, and cognitive function
• Brain fog and the gut-brain connection
• Smell loss, memory, and neurological health
• The role of inflammation in concussion recovery
• Building sustainable habits that support long-term brain function
• Hope after concussion and traumatic brain injury
• Why recovery is ultimately a daily practice
Perhaps the most powerful message from this conversation is that healing is rarely about finding one breakthrough treatment. Instead, it is often the cumulative effect of small actions repeated consistently over time.
Whether you're recovering from a concussion, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in protecting your brain as you age, this episode offers an honest and inspiring look at the mindset, habits, and strategies that can help move recovery forward.
If you haven't yet listened to Part 1, be sure to go back and check out Episode #62, where Jordan shares his personal concussion history and discusses the ongoing challenges surrounding concussion care in combat sports.
