In this episode we welcome William Person, a former US Winter Olypic team member from 2009-2007 - and who was a Bobsledder until CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encophlopathy) cut his career short. We discuss the benefits of HBOT (Hperbaric Oxygen Tanks), his time in the olympic squad, and much more on the healing side from the long term effects of persistent Traumatic Brain Injuries.
