Concussion Boost Program.
For concussion survivors who want to drastically reduce their symptoms within 3 months.
Instead of "just doing something" start focusing on 2 researched and proven methods.
Start interval training and cognitive exercises tailored for people with a concussion to effectively reduce symptoms within weeks/months.
You are a concussion survivor and want to do everything to get better.
You have already tried things to reduce your symptoms.
But now you notice... It's not progressing as quickly as expected. In fact, you had hoped to be much further in your recovery by now.
You know that much more is possible; you just hit a roadblock on how to best achieve it.
For example, you notice that...
✔️ Most doctors can't help. They don't believe you, you're getting misdiagnosed, sending you home to rest, or prescribing medicines that do more harm than good.
✔️ You lose yourself on the internet in the information that actually does not apply to your situation. You want to stop "just doing something", but take control of your recovery with the right tools and knowledge.
✔️ You're getting so overwhelmed by all the different possibilities out there that you don't start or try anything at all.
✔️ You're done with the ups and downs that come with concussion recovery. Sometimes, you feel on top of the world and the next day, out of the blue, you're totally off, and you have no idea why. You're ready for a balance between doing things and rest.
✔️ You first wanted to move forward by yourself, but you notice that you still miss the correct knowledge to do so. You want to be able to rely on your body in every situation, enjoy the process of healing and gain more control over it.
If you feel like this, you're at the right place.
I believe that everyone can improve their symptoms
Moreover, I believe that concussion recovery doesn't have to take years of struggles and suffering, but that you can do something about that today.
By applying specific interval training and cognitive exercises specially designed for people with a concussion, you can get more confidence, notice the first improvements, and finally feel empowered again.
I developed my program especially for concussion survivors who are motivated to get better and believe in new changes and opportunities.
This is especially for you if you feel there is more out there for you.
You don't want to get stuck in that trial & error phase for too long, you don't want to try to figure out everything by yourself anymore.
Above all, you want to take action and immediately go 200% for getting your life back.
What about going from "just doing something"....
Your doctor
"Please go home and rest as much as possible, within a few weeks you will be better."
"I knew someone with a concussion and because "this", he was healed within 4 weeks."
Your family/friends
Your psychologist
"It's really important to not make your concussion the main thing in life, focus on positive things."
Your colleagues
"I wish I was a day off too. Enjoy the sun and do some yoga, that will help to feel better"
"This was our last session. I think from now on it's important to focus on acceptance"
Your physiotherapist
The insurance company
"You can't prove it? Then it's not there. We are all getting older, try not to make that a big deal"
To finally start doing the right thing...

About me
Hi! I am Silvie, 32 years old and in May 2017, I had a scooter accident, which caused me whiplash and concussion. That day, I went home after the accident, not knowing I’d just walked into a new life.
"I was constantly torn between "I can't let this concussion ruin my life" and "I have to listen to my body and rest".
I struggled for years to find the right help and understand what was going on with me. The regular doctors I visited couldn't address my symptoms.
In all those years I was Googling to find experts who could help me. I was missing the correct knowledge to move forward.
After years of struggle, I am back to feeling my old self again...
In June 2019, I spent $10k on a treatment, I went to Cognitive FX
A concussion cneter in Utah where I learned everything about interval training and cognitive exercises.
This helped me overcome my concussion symptoms, and now I'm helping others to achieve the same without spending $10k.
Because simply engaging in 'some' cardio exercises or doing ‘some’ puzzles won't bring about a massive change.
More is needed if you truly want to overcome your symptoms.
That's why I invested $10k in a comprehensive treatment that brought significant results. As a result, I launched this 3-month program to guide you through intervals and cognitive exercises in the most beneficial way to reduce your concussion symptoms.
PS: I want to give credit to Dr. Mark Allen, Neuroscientist and Co-Founder of Cognitive FX, who developed the scientific foundation that makes this approach unique.

Introducing my 3-month program:
Cognitive Exercises | Interval Training | Support
Learn how to do the intervals and cognitive exercises in the most beneficial way for someone with a concussion to reduce their symptoms.
Because simply engaging in 'some' cardio exercises or doing ‘some’ puzzles won't bring about a massive change.
More is needed if you truly want to overcome your symptoms.
I believe (based on my own experience and what I see happening to people who already started) intervals and cognitive training is the magic combination to reduce concussion symptoms
What 3 things are inside the program?
1.
(Avoid screentime, print the text)
5-Week Cognitive Exercise Course
The modules of this course:
Module 1: My experience and improvements + information
Module 2: Five Cognitive Exercises Level 1
Module 3: Five Cognitive Exercises Level 2
Module 4: Five Cognitive Exercises Level 3
Module 5: How to continue + more cognitive inspiration (library)
Bonus: My exact 3-month schedule from when I started.
In this program, you will receive lifetime access to the 5-week cognitive course.
After sustaining a concussion, it can happen that certain connections in your brain have been disrupted or are no longer functioning properly. This can result in various symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, poor vision, sensory overload, nausea, sensitivity to light/sound, and more.
Simply doing a basic puzzle is not very effective; you need to engage all parts in the brain to reduce your symptoms.
In this course, we will help you to restore all the damaged pathways and/or create new pathways in the brain. When this occurs, many symptoms can be reduced.
We achieve this through 15 specific (researched and proven) exercises that target all areas of your brain, with a special focus on the pathways that are "damaged" after a concussion.
24 videos + 1.5 hours bonus materials to calm down
Available online in video and text format.

Interval training is the most effective exercise for people with a concussion. Intervals are short bursts of intense exercise alternated with recovery periods.
The most common mistake after sustaining a concussion is either not engaging in any physical activity or doing wrong exercises that worsen your condition. This often happens after following incorrect advice from individuals lacking sufficient knowledge about concussions.
In this course, we focus on a specific type of exercise specifically designed and proven to effectively reduce symptoms for people with a concussion: interval training combined with specific breathing exercises. (Credit goes to Dr. Mark Allen, Neuroscientist and Co-Founder of Cognitive FX; he developed this unique approach).
Without the right knowledge and doing the correct exercises, it's challenging to achieve the results you desire.
Two reasons why it's more effective for a concussion than a normal workout:
1. Every time you do interval training, you get a boost of neurotransmitters, proteins, and oxygen in the brain.
All those are helpful but the most helpful neurochemical for people with a concussion is the: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). Interval training is by far the fastest and most efficient way to maximize a BDNF boost.
2. It will balance the autonomic nervous system. After sustaining a concussion, the "fight-flight system" and the "rest and digest" system are out of balance.
Intervals and the breathing exercises will help the rest system to become more active.

3 Monhts access to the private
WhatsApp group
A private WhatsApp group exclusively for people who have purchased this program. In this group, we support each other, and I check in with you regularly. You can also ask any questions, and I will respond within 48 hours during weekdays. (If needed I will discuss with a concussion expert)
I will personally guide you in this so that you are 100% sure that you are doing the exercises in the right way to achieve the best results.
I designed my program to help you reduce your symptoms and get your life back...
✔️ I help you start with interval training from your safe space at home (or the gym). You get access to my 2-Week Interval Course, specially designed for people with concussions. You learn the exact steps and how to do the training in the most effective way to get maximum results.
✔️ Maybe you’ve tried exercising before, and so did I. I had a hard time exercising and barely felt improvements from it. When I started with those intervals, my symptoms started to reduce, but this interval training was different.
✔️ You not only start doing interval training, but I also help you to activate your brain with cognitive exercises. You get access to my 5-Week Cognitive Exercise Course, where I guide you through the 15 most effective cognitive exercises for people with a concussion.
✔️ I believe (based on my own experience and what I see happening to people who bought my courses) intervals and cognitive training is the magic combination to reduce concussion symptoms.
✔️ You don't have to do it alone. That's why you receive 3 months of access to the private WhatsApp group. This way, you can ask all your questions, stay motivated, and connect with others.
Let it be a game-changer for you as well as for many others.

Let's go!
In my program, I literally share with you everything about interval training and cognitive exercises, which were my 2 game-changers (and the game-changers for many others!).
I believe, based on my own experience and what I see happening to people who bought my courses, interval training and cognitive exercises are the magic combination to reduce concussion symptoms.
Simply engaging in 'some' cardio exercises or doing ‘some’ puzzles won't bring about a massive change. More is simply needed if you truly want to overcome your symptoms.
After the purchase, you can start immediately. You get instant access to all modules and the private WhatsApp group.
Start from your safe space at home and start noticing an improvement in symptoms within the first weeks/months as well.
What changes in your current situation if you choose not to do this now?
"Just doing something" mostly results in wasting time, money, and energy.
This program and the exercises within it are truly based on research specifically related to concussions, and hundreds of people have already achieved positive results with it.
So far, 500+ people have started the interval/cognitive course, and 70% of them reported positive changes in symptoms within the first week or months. People who don't feel it immediately in the first weeks often experience a clear improvement after this time because recovery sometimes just needs a bit more time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose your courses instead of sessions with a physical and cognitive therapist?
My courses are a combination of interval training and cognitive training, specially designed for people with a concussion to get maximum results. Instead of doing multiple sessions with a physical therapist, you also need to do sessions with a cognitive therapist who specializes in concussions.
This program saves you:
-
time from finding the right therapists who know what they are doing
-
money because a single session may already cost more than $50
-
(travel) stress, time and energy because you don’t have fixed appointments to travel to over and over again
I am worried if I can do the interval training: I can't run, for example...
Don't worry; you don't need to run if this is hard for you. It's all about increasing your heart rate. You can choose what exercise works best for you. For example, this can be swimming, cycling, using a cross-trainer, jumping on a trampoline—whatever suits you. Even people who were in a wheelchair managed to do the interval training (using their arms). So don't worry; we will find an exercise that works for you.
In what format are your courses available? Can I print everything?
Both courses are online courses and available in video or text format (so you can choose what works best for you). You can also print the course (and read the text) if screen time bothers you. There is a PDF format available on the first page of the courses. Exception: Week one of the interval course (Dr. Jessica's part) is only available in video format (not in text format). But don't worry, you can listen to the video instead of watching it. Also, the bonus modules to relax (meditation/yoga) can't be printed.
What are the outcomes for other people who have started?
So far, 500+ people have started the interval/cognitive course, and 70% of them reported positive changes in symptoms within the first week or months. People who don't feel it immediately in the first weeks often experience a clear improvement after this time because recovery sometimes just needs a bit more time.
What if I have any questions or need more support?
That's why I've included extra support in this program. You receive 3 months of access to the private WhatsApp group. Within this group, you can ask all your questions (if needed I will discuss with a concussion expert) and connect with other people who have started the intervals and cognitive exercises. I will check in with you regularly and motivate you in this group. You don't have to do it alone.
I don't have time or energy for this...What to do?
How much time and energy do you save if you can stop running from appointment to appointment? Not being sent by your doctor from pillar to post? Or what if you don't need to spend your time planning your day anymore? What if you can live a more spontaneous life? What if you don't need your daily nap anymore because you could improve your sleep? Won’t this all save you time and energy?
I don't have the money at this moment..
During my journey, I always felt financial stress; sometimes, I even felt that this was holding me back from recovery. How much money have you already spent on doctors, treatments, tools...? What if you go to your doctor, psychologist or another therapist every week and pay $55? What if you don't need that anymore after starting this program? And what if you can make the first steps back to work? How much money will come your way because that? Wouldn't this all be a reason to try it? You have so much more to gain than to lose right?
Screens are hard for me to handle. What is your advice?
I totally get it. I had a hard time handling screens as well. That's why I tried to make your recovery easier. Instead of searching for information yourself, I did this for you. I offer all the knowledge you need to know about cognitive exercises and interval training into these courses. I did my best to make them simple and easy to watch. You can listen to most of them or read/print the text (see answer above).
Can I watch the videos from the courses over and over again?
Yes, all videos from the interval and cognitive courses are recorded, so you can watch them at your own pace. You get lifetime access so you don't need to hurry.
When can I start the program?
After the purchase, you get an email with unlimited access to the program and 3 months of access to the private Whatsapp Group. So you can start right away.
For who is this program?
For concussion (TBI) survivors who:
- Feel stuck and feel they are not getting the correct knowledge or recognition from their doctor(s).
- Can’t exercise and have already tried multiple ways of exercising but don't feel the benefits.
- Have been busy searching for a while to find more information about how to heal their concussion but still do not feel they are moving forward.
- Have an open mindset, believe in new changes and opportunities.
- Feels there is more out there, that this isn't it.
What do I learn in this 3-month program?
In this program, you will learn the exact steps you need to take to reduce your symptoms, allowing you to regain control of your life. These are the exact steps I took to reduce my symptoms by 50% within 3 months and ultimately to 90%. Together, we will work step by step to apply intervals and cognitive exercises specially designed for people with a concussion to reduce symptoms quickly.
No need to worry about feeling overwhelmed. You will receive lifetime access to the 2 courses and 3 months of access to the private WhatsApp Group. So, we will truly work together to ensure that you can return to exercise as soon as possible and start noticing the initial improvements.
Do you give medical advice?
I don’t give medical advice, everything is based on what I learned from concussion experts, experiences with other people who followed these exact steps, and my own experience. If you still have questions and I doubt answering your questions I will discuss it with a physical or cognitive therapist.
By remaining in this course, you are accepting that you have read, understood, and agreed to my disclaimer.
What do I need to start with the interval course?
In order to do the interval training, it would be great if you arrange the following things:
- Your gym outfit
- Your motivation ;)
- Optional: a heart rate monitor. I have this one: click here.
- Optional: a stopwatch (which is on your phone)
What do I need to start with the cognitive exercise course?
There are a few things you need to do all exercises:
- Post-its
- A tennis ball (or any other ball)
- A balance board (optional, we can also do the exercise by standing on one leg). I have this one: Click here.
- A deck of playing cards
Will I have lifetime access to everything?
You will have lifetime access to my two courses: the 5-week cognitive exercise course and the 2-week interval course. Additionally, you will receive three months of access to the private WhatsApp group.
What happens after 3 months of access to the private WhatsApp group?
After 3 months, your access to the private group ends automatically. Do you need more support? One week before it ends, you will receive an email, and you can decide to join The Concussion Community (you can also join The Concussion Community right away; there's no need to finish the program first). You can keep access to the community for as long as you'd like at $39/month (cancel anytime) or $87 every 3 months.
I already bought one of your courses in the past but want to participate in this program. What do I do?
That's possible. Let me know once you’ve completed this program’s payment, and I will refund the previous course purchase from the total amount.
I didn't sustain a concussion but have another TBI. Can this program be helpful for me too?
As many symptoms are similar this program can also be helpful for people dealing with a stroke, carbon monoxide poisoning, long COVID, or any other traumatic brain injury.
What does your courses get me?
After following the program, you will know how to do the interval training and the cognitive exercises and will notice your first improvements. You'll be done with struggling and trying to find out everything by yourself. You’ll finally feel you're on the right path toward healing and confident and hopeful about the future.

Hi! I am Silvie, 31 years old and just moved from The Netherlands to Bali (lower expenses and escaping the ratrace;)).
In May 2017, I had a scooter accident, which caused me whiplash and concussion. That day, I went home after the accident, not knowing I’d just walked into a new life.
"I was constantly torn between "I can't let this concussion ruin my life" and "I have to listen to my body and rest".
I struggled for years to find the right help and understand what was going on with me. The regular doctors I visited couldn't address my symptoms, so I wasn't getting any help from them. I felt misunderstood and lonely during my journey.
After years of struggle, I am back to feeling my old self again (85%).
