Instructor:  Mark L. Gordon, MD

Course Description: 

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are two distinct yet often misunderstood conditions that can result from experiencing a traumatic event.

TBI is an injury to the brain that can occur when the head is hit, jolted, or penetrated by an object, causing physical damage to the brain. In contrast, PTSD is a mental health disorder which can develop after experiencing or witnessing an emotionally-charged traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, combat, or sexual assault. While both conditions can result from a trauma, they differ in their symptoms, causes, and treatments. TBI can cause physical symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and loss of consciousness, as well as cognitive and emotional symptoms such as memory problems, depression, and anxiety. PTSD can have common symptoms like in TBI, as well as specific symptoms such as intrusive thoughts like in OCD, nightmares, hyperarousal with paranoia, and avoidance behaviors. It's important to note that TBI and PTSD can co-exist in some individuals, and the symptoms can overlap, making it difficult to diagnose and treat based upon symptoms alone. However, understanding the differences between TBI and PTSD is crucial in providing the appropriate assessment, treatment, and support for individuals who have experienced a traumatic event.

Instructor:

Mark L. Gordon, MD

Originally residency trained and board certified in Family Medicine (1984), Dr. Mark L. Gordon continued his medical education in Clinical Orthopedics (1990), Cosmetic Dermatology (1993), and Sports Medicine (1995) prior to pausing in 2007 to write his first book on Interventional Endocrinology a term which he coined in 2003 to represent his approach to Anti-Aging Medicine. His book, The Clinical Application of Interventional Medicine (2008), is recognized by his peers as a primer for the standards of care and assessment for Interventional Endocrinology. He held a position as Voluntary Associate Clinical Professor at the Keck School of Medicine (1998-2013) and is currently the Medical Director of CBS/Viacom Studios (2001-date), Medical Director of Education for Assess Medical Laboratories (2009-date), and has also participated on projects with HBO, ESPN, CNN, FOX, Good Morning, and several international news programs. Dr. Gordon has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience (#1589, #1056, #700, #574, #438) to discuss Traumatic Brain Injury, natural protection from viruses, and Big Foot. In May 2015, his second book, Traumatic Brain Injury – A clinical approach to diagnosis and treatment, was launched along with a three-day workshop attended by a national and international group of medical specialists seeking advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of TBI. In January 2020, Dr. Gordon was invited by the United Kingdom’s Military Surgeon General to provide his perspective on treatment of blast wave trauma and why he was seeing high ranking officers from the UK in his office in Los Angeles. Maybe because they recovered from their symptomatic TBI when placed on the Millennium Treatment Protocol. Lastly, understanding the wealth of information needed to treat TBI patients using the science of neuroendocrinology and endocrinology, Dr. Gordon has spent the past 5 years writing a software application, the Millennium-TBI Office Assistant (MAO), an Expert AI software program that uses over 9000 algorithms to interpret the Millennium biomarker panel, medication, and past medical history. This allows for any healthcare provider to duplicate Dr. Gordon’s work and results in 15 minutes as opposed to years of training and clinical experience. At the core of the TBI treatment protocol, used to treat traumatic and non-traumatic brain injuries, is a group of nutraceutical products that were developed over the past 16 years by Dr. Mark Gordon and his daughter Dr. Alison M. Gordon; Clear Mind & Energy, Brain Care II, and B is for Brain now packaged as Brain Rescue 3 which has been tested on a group of Marine Veterans with impressive results (draft report available at TBIHelpNow.org under “the Science”).  

Dr. Mark Gordon is the owner and Medical Director of the Millennium Health Centers, Inc., located in Encino, California and moving to Houston Texas. www.TBIHelpNow.org, www.MillenniumHealthStore.com, and https://MillenniumAPP.ai
