Join me as I interview Zara Dureno, a licensed Occupational Therapist and Neuro-Coach, who helps people recover from concussions, chronic pain, and mental health difficulties. She has a wealth of knowledge and strategies for helping people manage nervous system dysregulation and pain. She shares information about the Polyvagal Theory and how it applies to concussion recovery, as well as a number of actionable ideas and tips for managing concussion symptoms and challenges.

For more information on Polyvagal Theory, she recommends reading books by Stephen Porges or Deb Dana. She recommends The Concussion Doc (https://concussiondoc.io/) and The Huberman Lab Podcast (https://www.youtube.com/@hubermanlab, https://hubermanlab.com/category/podcast-episodes/).

For Neurofeedback she recommends Surrey Neuroplasticity Clinic (snpc.tech).
