Barbara Rubin

Barbara Rubin writes this story of joy and sorrow mixed with humor and rage as both mother and advocate for her injured daughter, Jenn. Emotionally invested in this narrative, she had the advantage to write in raw detail about the triumphs and heartbreaks that follow her main character. She witnessed first-hand the battles that come when a person is the most vulnerable, but also saw the gift of human kindness and the difference it can make in another person’s life. She lived the story; it was hers to tell. Barbara hopes that her journey, lived through her daughter’s injury, will help others understand the lessons that can be learned from tolerance and gives hope to families whose path has also been darkened by tragedy.  https://barbararubinauthor.comBuy her book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3TOz7yPEpisode brought to you by Integrated Brain CenterSupport the podcat on Patreon

More Than You Can See with Barbara Rubin

A podcast dedicated to traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion awareness. Created by survivors for survivors. Hear from survivors, caregivers, medical professionals, and others!

I’m a fellow survivor who just passed 3 years and just found your podcast and love hearing other positive stories from other survivors.

Just found your pod

I’ve been dealing with post concussion symptoms for 2.5 years and really enjoy your show for the wide variety of insight to different therapies. I also really appreciate that you feature people’s stories because being able to relate to someone and not feel alone is another way of coping with PCS (it’s not all doctors and therapies!). 

One comment is that I’d love to hear from the doctors and specialists you interview what their opinion is if someone tries their therapy and it doesn’t work or makes a patient worse. As someone dealing with PCS, I often have trouble deciphering which treatments might be best for me and have found quite a number of treatments that didn’t work for me or made me worse. It would be great to hear doctors/specialists be candid about that sort of info. 

Additionally, I know many people PCS who deal with PTSD like symptoms and I think there’s a big intersection between the two that often gets overlooked. It would be nice to hear more about this!

Wonderful show!

Join host Amy Zellmer as she chats with Dr. Deborah Zelinsky about how eyes are affected after a brain injury. Deborah Zelinsky, O.D., F.N.O.R.A., F.C.O.V.D. graduated from the Illinois College of Optometry in 1985 and founded the Mind-Eye Connection in 1993.She has spent the past thirty years developing methods for assessment of brain function with emphasis on the often untested linkage between eyes and ears. Certification in the use of those methods is beginning in 2017.Customized eyeglasses can be used to stabilize dysfunctional eye/ear connections, enhancing learning and language abilities. When visual and auditory pathways are not solidly interacting, reading and spelling abilities suffer, as do social skills. Dr. Zelinsky’s cutting edge research in retinal circuitry and three patents in novel usages of retinal stimulation have been described in neuro-optometric rehabilitation publications and optometric courses worldwide. Currently she is a reviewer for the Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JOVE) and has been a scientific grant reviewer for the Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program several times. In 2013, she was presented with the Founding Father’s Award from NORA (NeuroOptometric Rehabilitation Association) and is an active member of the World Brain Mapping Foundation and the Society for Neuroscience.Her books include “Open your Eyes and Listen” and “An Insight to Vision”.  Along with Donalee Markus, Ph.D , Dr. Zelinsky is featured in the 2015 book “The Ghost in My Brain: How a Concussion Stole My Life and the New Science of Brain Plasticity Brought it Back” by Dr. Clark Elliott.

Robert Sherman

Join host Amy Zellmer as she chats with Robert Sherman of Iron Neck.Robert Sherman is co-owner of Iron Neck, a company that makes a neck training device used by high school, college and pro teams of almost every sport to reduce concussion risk associated with whiplash. While an increased amount of attention is being paid to neck strength as a critical component to concussion management, it pales in comparison to that paid to helmets and post-concussion protocols. Robert is an advocate for preventive concussion management and travels the country educating professionals on the importance of neck training and the latest research on concussions. Through his interactions with leading strength &amp; conditioning coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists, neurologists, athletes and concussion survivors, Robert has gained a comprehensive perspective on the issues all individuals face from concussions to chronic neck pain.Robert, along with two close friends from business school at University of Texas, met Mike Jolly, inventor of the Iron Neck in 2015. A former collegiate football player, Mike developed the Iron Neck in 2012 after seeing some of his UCLA football teammates develop CTE after their NFL careers. In 2011, Mike discovered research associating increased neck strength with reduced concussion risk as well as the increased threat of rotational forces on the brain that contribute to CTE. Since launching a redesigned version of the Iron Neck in 2016, hundreds of teams have incorporated it into their concussion management efforts.Sponsored by: Minnesota Functional Neurology DC
