About this episode
In today's conversation, former CFL player Steve White joins the podcast to share the story of how his life unraveled — and how he rebuilt it from the ground up. After years of concussions, post-concussion syndrome, seizures, illness, and personal loss, Steve hit rock bottom. What followed wasn't a recovery, but a full reconstruction: rebuilding his brain, body, and faith through disciplined systems rooted in breath, movement, environment, nutrition, nervous-system regulation, and purpose. In this conversation, Steve explains how brain injuries reshape emotion and identity, why trust in yourself must be rebuilt deliberately, and how science and faith-based discipline can bring someone back from the edge. If you want to understand what it takes to come back from neurological collapse and build a life that's stronger than ever, this episode is for you. This podcast dives into: How concussions and PCS alter brain health and emotional regulation. The hidden psychological toll of neurological injury. Rebuilding self-trust after physical and personal collapse. The mindset behind the Brae 100 method.
