What if the root cause of your lingering symptoms isn't what you think it is?

For those living with a brain injury or concussion, it's easy to assume that all the symptoms—headaches, dizziness, fatigue—stem directly from the injury itself. After all, isn't that what most of us have been told?

But what if this belief is actually keeping you from healing? In this episode, our guest, Cristabelle Braden, reveals how she spent years chasing treatments and medications for her traumatic brain injury (TBI), only to discover that some of her most debilitating symptoms had a different root cause entirely. Through a transformative journey of self-advocacy, she learned that finding the real issue is the first step to lasting relief.

In this episode, you'll learn:

👉 How Christabellel's 12-year journey through brain injury treatments led her to the discovery of a hidden condition affecting her daily life.

👉 The importance of understanding root causes versus symptoms in brain injury recovery.

👉 Practical strategies for advocating for yourself when traditional medicine falls short.

👉 The surprising dietary and lifestyle changes that brought Christabelle newfound freedom and relief from chronic symptoms.

Join us as we explore the importance of digging deeper for answers, empowering you to take control of your recovery journey and find hope beyond the diagnosis.
