Heal Your Brain, Reclaim Your Life

SHOW GUEST: Susana Stoica, PhD

Concussions and other brain injuries are increasingly of interest to the public due to news stories about professional football players who have suffered them with devastating effects. But ordinary people, including one in five teenagers, also sustain these injuries that can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, insomnia, depression, vision problems, lack of concentration, and other troubling symptoms. The personal impact of brain injuries extends to the injured person’s family and the financial burden on society exceeds $60 billion per year.

Susana Stoica, Ph.D., wrote her book, Heal Your Brain, Reclaim Your Life, to share the lessons she learned from her own over 15-year recovery from two traumatic brain injuries that happened the same day. Her uphill battle was difficult and she made mistakes which she wanted to help others avoid.
