“According to the CDC,
as many as 3.8 million sports- and recreation-related concussions occur in the United States each year,” noted Keri Marshall,
MS, ND, Nordic Naturals’ Chief
Medical Officer. “This conference is a premier educational event for health
care professionals, athletic trainers, coaches, and military officers who want
to learn the current recommendations for prevention, assessment and treatment
of concussions and brain injury.”

Michael Lewis, MD,
founded BHERI following a career in the Army where he spearheaded the use
of omega-3s for traumatic brain injury. “I started the Institute to
educate people about the power of omega-3s in the prevention and treatment of
concussions,” Lewis said. “Partnering with Nordic Naturals has been a great fit
for us because of our shared passion to see continued research and education
about omega-3s and brain health.” More information about the Institute can be
