Dr. Mark Gordon: How Head Trauma Affects Long Term Hormonal Health

What if the root cause of anxiety, memory loss, or chronic fatigue after a brain injury isn’t psychological, but hormonal?

Will and Jon sit down with Dr. Mark Gordon, MD a trailblazer in neuroendocrinology, to uncover how traumatic brain injury (TBI) and chronic inflammation disrupt hormonal balance, often mimicking or masking conditions like PTSD. Dr. Gordon explains the science behind hormone therapy, the overlooked role of gut health, and why a 28-point biomarker panel could be the key to reclaiming brain function, especially for veterans.
