Welcome back to Headfirst: A Concussion Podcast. We’re excited to bring you another insightful episode, and today, we have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Federica Conti. Dr. Conti’s academic journey is truly impressive—she earned her master’s in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing from the prestigious Oxford University, before going on to complete a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience. Her work stands at the fascinating crossroads of neuroscience, sleep science, and nutrition, with a special focus on how these areas intersect to optimize brain health and protect against neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Conti’s research has made significant contributions to the field, particularly in understanding how lifestyle factors such as sleep patterns and dietary choices can influence brain function. Her ground-breaking papers, including Mitigating Traumatic Brain Injury: A Narrative Review of Supplementation and Dietary Protocols, offer critical insights into how nutrition and supplementation can play a role and possibly reduce the effects of traumatic brain injuries.
