Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is now recognized as a causative factor for hormonal deficiencies associated with personality changes based upon changes in the molecular chemistry of the brain. Psychological, physiological, and physical manifestations like; depression, anxiety, mood swings, bouts of anger, memory loss, inability to concentrate ...

Soldiers’ body armor can withstand bomb shrapnel. But armor cannot protect them from an invisible but devastating threat—the blast wave. “Shock waves travel faster than sound,” says Dr. Timothy Bentley, program manager in the Warfighter Performance Department at the Office of Naval Research, “…energy waves can cause subtle yet damaging effects on t...
Traumatic brain injury patients can suffer broad effects, often appearing decades later.3 Conventional medical treatment seldom achieves substantial recovery, and these symptoms can become extremely disabling.4 Often, there is both primary and secondary injury.11 Primary injury occurs at time of injury and is considered irreversible.12-14 However, ...
Studies demonstrate that hypopituitarism—where the pituitary gland fails to produce normal hormone levels—is relatively common following traumatic brain injury.5,16-18 Sometimes, however, hypopituitarism is not diagnosed for over 20 years post-injury.19 Many traumatic brain injury patients have a growth hormone deficiency, exhibiting greater defici...
Using neurosteroid replacement techniques, Gordon and colleagues are changing the way we think about traumatic brain injuries and effective treatment. He continues to develop new protocols that may revolutionize the devastation of traumatic brain injuries. “Whether caused by direct impact or by acceleration alone, secondary injuries that can result...
Gordon’s research strongly suggested that traumatic brain injury often causes pituitary dysfunction, confirming his hunch.41 Research suggests that 50%-76% of traumatic brain injury victims show loss of pituitary neurosteroid function.16,17 Generally, the more severe the original injury, the more profound the deficits. However, neuro-steroid defici...
Gordon’s clinic employs comprehensive testing to assess how well the hypothalamic-pituitary system is functioning, and secondary testing to determine how the target endocrine glands are affected. Those findings are correlated with a complete history and detailed physical examination to create an individualized treatment protocol. Physiologic doses,...
Shock waves may cause momentary “bubbles” in the brain, leaving traumatic brain injury victims with impaired physical, emotional, and cognitive health. Military veterans’ traumatic brain injuries are often misdiagnosed as depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. Discovering that traumatic brain injury damages the hypothalamus and triggers pitu...
