From one of the world’s leading concussion researchers, a revolutionary evidence-based guide to healing from a traumatic brain injury Concussions are one of the most debilitating medical episodes a person can have, and one of the most mysterious. More than 40 million Americans will suffer one each year, and yet the diagnostic criteria for even identifying them is murky-and the ideal path to recovery still murkier. Dr. Teena Shetty has spent her career developing a revolutionary paradigm for helping patients fully recover from concussions. With Healing the Brain, she finally shares her method with the world. Revelations include: Sleep: why you simply can’t get enough of it (think 14+ hours a day) Diet: the science behind why protein is so important in concussion recovery, and the most effective ways to get more of it Exercise: what type, how much, and when it’s safe to reintroduce it back into your life Mindfulness: the hidden benefits of meditation, acupuncture, and other tools for healing And much more… Healing the Brain offers a hopeful path forward, helping concussion sufferers return to the full person they were before.
