Metabolic Classrooms

A concussion triggers a metabolic storm inside the brain—disrupting glucose use, impairing mitochondria, and creating oxidative stress. But ketones offer a powerful metabolic alternative: they supply energy efficiently, reduce inflammation, and support recovery at the cellular level. This post explores the mechanisms behind concussion-related energy failure and the emerging evidence on how ketogenic metabolism enhances neuroprotection and healing.
