In this inspiring episode of BioInventures, we dive into the intersection of neuroscience, technology, and personal transformation with Dr. Ayla Wolf, founder of Healing Response and Acupuncture and author of The Concussion Breakthrough. Dr. Wolf shares her 20-year journey from martial arts injuries and post-concussion syndrome to becoming a leader in functional neurology and neurological rehabilitation.

We discuss:

  • How advanced tech like pupillary light reflex analysis and computerized balance testing are reshaping concussion recovery.
  • The challenges of neuroscience research and how politics and patience play into scientific progress.
  • Her deeply personal story of resilience—how she turned crisis into a mission to heal others.
  • The future of individualized brain health through AI-enhanced imaging and blood biomarkers.
