    • 75. Cavin Balaster: Feed A Brain

      In 2011, Cavin fell 20 feet from a rooftop water tower scaffolding. His head struck a steel beam on the way down before crashing onto the concrete rooftop below. He was immediately rushed to the hospital and put on life support. While in a coma, an MRI revealed a severe diffuse axonal injury (DAI), which is one of the most devastating types of brain injury. Statistically…over 90 percent of patients with this brain injury never regain consciousness, and most of those who do will often remain in a persistent vegetative state.

      His recovery journey began after finally waking from a 12-day coma before serious complications arose with the need to induce a second coma. In the following months, he endured severe brain fog, memory loss, breathing problems, in coordination with the left side of my body (my left hand was completely flexed inward), and…he didn’t eat, walk, or talk for months.

      Following the acute stages of his brain injury, a dense brain fog, limited mobility, and numerous other difficulties persisted he continued to navigate the physical and emotional toll of his new circumstances. At a pivotal moment, he was introduced to functional medicine, which illuminated for him a different way of looking at recovery. As several treatments, exercises, and therapies were implemented…he began to reclaim the mental clarity I had before my injury.

      An enormous amount of work and therapy played in his rehabilitation as he worked to regain everyday faculties and relearned how to live.

      In this podcast interview Cavin talks about:

      • The aftermath of his accident and the process of finding the right modalities for the best chance for a full recovery.
      • How nutrition played a pivotal role in his recovery and the benefits of good nutrition on the brain.
      • His inspiration for writing his book called Feed A Brain.
      • The benefits of exercise and nutrition on proper brain function.
      • Positive habits that optimize brain function.
      • And so much more.

                Laurie Warren is passionately committed every day, to educate, inspire, and empower YOU to reclaim your vibrant health. She wants to challenge the life-sucking status quo to help you find better health, more energy, and to live your life authentically. She loves a good laugh and a bit of sass. Who says that health education has to be boring?!

                Basically, she helps people and organizations be healthier and happier. Laurie is a speaker, writer, corporate consultant, and clinician - with an approach that’s grounded in three foundational beliefs:

                • The body is a self-organizing organism that’s hard-wired for healing.
                • Our mind can be used as either a bridge or a barrier in our quest for well-being.
                • What matters most is WHO we are as we move through this world.
                • Prior to earning an MS in clinical and integrative nutrition, she spent a dozen years in leadership positions in the high-tech industry. This experience has assisted her in being a seasoned ally for corporate clients, helping them to build a progressive wellness culture.

                  Laurie is excited to talk about her latest book Just released in October, Wild World, Joyful Heart: Unlock Your Power to Create Health and Joy will be available in October 2019. This book is a culmination of my past three decades of clinical experience, study, and research in the fields of science, psychology, and spiritual evolution.

                  In this podcast you will be inspired, motivated, educated in these areas:

                  • If you focus on just your body and you don't focus on changing your mind, you will not achieve results.
                  • Remove your email from your phone or don't give your private phone number to business associates.
                  • Transition your service business from in-person visits to virtual appointments.
                  • Why is my body doing that?
                  • You won't be happy if you lose 60 pounds unless you change your belief systems or understand why.
                  • Most of our belief patterns are developed before we are the age of 7 years old.
                  • Notice your thoughts that come up frequently.
