Why Must You Listen?

• Discover what no one tells you about mild TBIs and why so many people are misdiagnosed—or never diagnosed at all.
• Learn practical, science-backed strategies that help with recovery, from speech therapy to behavioral vision care, journaling, and mindfulness.
• Hear a raw, honest story from someone who went from black belt martial artist and nurse practitioner to struggling with basic tasks—and how she found her way back.

What’s It All About?

In this powerful conversation, Kelly Tuttle joins Kevin Lowe to share her story of surviving a traumatic brain injury after a routine drive turned into a life-changing crash. What makes Kelly’s story so important is not just the accident—it’s the six months of misdirection that followed. As a nurse practitioner herself, she was stunned to realize how little support or understanding exists for TBI patients, even in the medical field.

Kelly pulls back the curtain on the hidden symptoms of brain trauma and explains the neurological reasons behind “not feeling like yourself.” You’ll hear about her struggles, her slow road back to functionality, and the eye-opening lessons she’s now made it her mission to teach. This episode is a wake-up call and a source of hope for anyone feeling lost in the aftermath of a concussion or invisible injury.
