  • Ep. 2 The player perspective ft. Paul Frase

    Ep. 2 The player perspective ft. Paul Frase
    Aug 28 2023

    Hi everyone,


    Today we are joined by former NFL player Paul Frase, who is here to talk about his experience in football and suspected CTE symptoms.

    Paul's connection to the medical world of CTE began in 2015 when he joined a clinical trial at Boston University led by Dr. Bob Stern. Paul’s friend, Dr. Chris Nowinski, co-founder of Boston University’s CTE center, has been a catalyst in the exploration of TBI and CTE research. Paul focuses on treatment and modalities concerned with diminishing inflammation in the brain, as well as throughout the body. Paul believes reducing inflammation in the brain is the path to neurological health in many indications, and focuses his energies on restoring healthy brain functions affected transversely from multiple TBI.

    We hope you enjoy today's episode!

    See you next week,

    Georgia & Trisha
