Terrell Davis

In this electrifying episode, NFL Hall-of-Famer, Terrell Davis, shares the one thing that has made him unstoppable despite a life where he has had to overcome injury, the loss of his father in his early teens, systemic racism and blinding migraines since he was nine years old. He is joined by Doctor Marius Birlea, Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and Jeffrey Rynek, Nurse Practitioner at CU Anschutz’s Headache Clinic, who tell us that not all headaches are created equally. What is a negative aura? And how did Terrell Davis conquer the second quarter of the Super Bowl in the middle of a blinding migraine attack? Doctor Birlea shines the light of relief for the 40 million migraine sufferers in the U.S. and talks about new non-invasive treatments that have few side effects. But of all the obstacles Davis had to beat on what he calls his “improbable journey to the NFL,” it was losing his father what made him think that life had no purpose. As for the game itself, when all seemed lost and he was about to quit football, Davis had a revelation that shocked him right before the game that changed his career. A proud father of three children, Terrell Davis also shares his views on how to change systemic racism through positive, inclusive involvement. “Do we live in a great country?” he asks. “Absolutely!
