What if the advice you’ve been given about concussions is not only outdated—but actually slowing down your recovery?

Far too many people are still told to “sit in a dark room and wait it out” after a concussion. The problem? That approach is not just unhelpful, it can delay healing, increase frustration, and leave people feeling isolated.

The truth is: concussion care has evolved. Access to the right treatment, at the right time, can make all the difference in recovery. And today’s guest, Lucas Johnson, co-founder and CEO of Headquarters (a virtual concussion clinic), is on a mission to make high-quality, interdisciplinary concussion care accessible to everyone—without the outdated “just wait” approach.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• The outdated concussion myths that are still being repeated—and why they need to stop

• How Lucas’ personal concussion story led him to create a new standard of care

• Why early, structured movement (not rest in a dark room) is key to recovery

• How virtual clinics like Headquarters are breaking barriers and expanding access across the U.S.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the lack of clear, effective concussion care—or you just want to stay on top of the most up-to-date recovery strategies—this episode is packed with hope, science, and innovation.
