What if some violent behavior is connected to hidden brain injury?In this episode, the conversation turns to a difficult but important topic: the potential connection between brain trauma, neurological dysfunction, and extreme behavior.Research on athletes and veterans has shown that repeated head injuries and subconcussive impacts can affect the brain in ways that influence mood, impulse control, and decision-making.But the real takeaway isn’t blame.👉 It’s awareness. 👉 It’s prevention. 👉 And it’s making sure people who need help actually get it.Understanding brain health may be one of the most important steps toward protecting both individuals and society.🎧 Tune in to Episode 247 of the High Performance Longevity Podcast with Nick Urban and guest, William Person to learn more about:✅ The long-term effects of subconcussive brain injury ✅ How repeated head trauma can affect behavior and cognition ✅ Why early detection and brain recovery matter#brainhealth #braininjury #cte #mentalhealthawareness #longevity #biohacking #highperformancelongevity #outliyr
The brain is uniquely resilient yet also fragile.When you talk about brain injury most people think of big hits from collision sports.Often times, that's not the cause. In episode 247, we sit down with nine-year Team USA athlete, William Person, to discuss the prevalence of these injuries in non-contact sports.You'll learn how sub-concussive impact shapes the brain and what you can do about it.

🔴 What if your recovery routine didn’t require 3 separate devices?Red light therapy has exploded in popularity & for good reason.It supports circulation, mitochondrial function, & tissue recovery.

🧠 You might be performing at 60–70% and not even know itMost wearables track what already happened: • Steps • Heart rate • Movement • “Neck-down” signalsBut in Episode 244, Dexter Ang explains why true performance starts before all of that… in the brain.Using neural reaction time, his work measures how quickly the brain processes a signal before the body even moves. That single metric has been used for decades to quantify cognitive states across medicine, science, and even aerospace.This approach reveals: ✅ Cognitive readiness ✅ Mental fatigue before burnout hits ✅ Performance capacity across mind, body, and sleepInstead of guessing from trends, it shows what’s actually happening at the source.🎧 Watch the full conversation on the High Performance Longevity Podcast to learn how brain-first measurement changes performance tracking.#brainperformance #wearables #cognitivereadiness #reactiontime #neurotech #biohacking #longevity #highperformancelongevity #outliyr
