My guest in this episode of the #RenegadeRadioPodcast is Cavin Balaster. In 2011 Cavin sustained a severe traumatic brain injury after a two-story fall. He was initially comatose for 12 days and given less than 10% chance of ever regaining consciousness beyond a vegetative state. Once awake he suffered from severe complications including memory loss, brain fog, breathing problems and double vision. He was unable to eat, walk or talk for several months.

 

About a year after his injury Cavin was introduced to a nutritional protocol that helped him begin to regain some clarity. He devoted his life to the study of metabolism, neurometabolism, neuroscience and nutrition and learned everything he could about how to optimize brain function and maximize recovery. While documenting his recovery process he developed his award-winning blog, “Adventures in Brain Injury”. Today he is a speaker, educator and author of “How to Feed a Brain: Nutrition for Optimal Brain Function and Repair.”
