Talk about confusing them: Extreme Athlete, Amanda Smith, had multiple TBI's and concussions since age two.From snowboarding icy mountains in California to boxing and several forms of martial arts, and many other sports mixed in, Amanda has not only done and experienced it all, but has also done so on the extreme injury side.

A lot!Join me as I interview her and ask the hard questions, not only about how hard it's been, but how hard she researched, pursued and crushed the right help through integrative physical medicine to bring her back to vitality from extreme injuries ranging from age 2 to well into her adult years. AND find out how her resilience and intention alone carried her through healing to be extremely active at present both in sports and her career as an executive, speaker, public relations specialist and human rights advocate.Some people have early symptoms thatthey think are minor, which turn out to be symptoms of this condition. In this episode, Amanda tells all about what that dividing line and journey of discovery were for her. Tune in now and learn!
