In this episode of Unstress Health, Dr Ron Ehrlich speaks with former Team USA bobsledder William Person about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a condition traditionally diagnosed only after death.

William shares his personal battle with debilitating symptoms that were misdiagnosed for decades - including depression, confusion, memory loss, and suicidal ideation -  and reveals how hyperbaric oxygen therapy changed his life.

The discussion expands beyond elite sport to include:

• Military veterans
• Domestic violence survivors
• Car accident victims
• Prison populations
• Misdiagnosed psychiatric patients

This episode explores the uncomfortable possibility that many cases labeled as mental illness may instead be untreated brain trauma.

◉ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:   

William Person is a former nine-year Team USA bobsled athlete who competed in World Championships, Olympic trials and World Cup events.

After experiencing severe neurological symptoms from repeated high G-force exposure, he became an advocate for CTE awareness and brain injury recovery.

He now works with veteran agencies across the United States and supports legislation to provide hyperbaric oxygen therapy to those suffering from untreated brain trauma.
