Bonnie is joined by Dr. Robert Baric, who is certified in acupuncture, nutrition, pediatric chiropractic, various chiropractic techniques, therapies, and applied kinesiology, and they discuss the physiological impact of traumatic brain injuries (TBI), emphasizing that it is a whole-body injury affecting everything from gut microbiome to hormones. A TBI can cause shear forces in brain tissue, tearing connections and causing inflammation and metabolic failure. Dr. Baric introduces "On Hand," a nutritional supplement designed to address three critical failure points: energy (exogenous ketones), exogenous antioxidants, and detoxification via the glymphatic system. By providing metabolic support during the acute window following a head bump, nutritional intervention can mitigate long-term residuals such as anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction.
