Jake Paul suffering brain trauma from boxing, using psychedelics to help reverse damage

Jake Paul is suffering from symptoms of brain trauma just one year into his pro boxing career, the controversial YouTube star revealed in a recent interview with Graham Bensinger (h/t Harry Davies of The Mirror).

Paul, who turns 25 in January, has been suffering forgetfulness and slurred speech but has been experimenting with psychedelics to help possibly reverse the damage.

“I got my brain scanned right before I started boxing and the doctor told me there’s lack of blood flow from the concussions I had playing football to certain areas on my brain,” Paul, a former Disney actor, said.
