Nourish Your Noggin: Brain-Building Foods & Easy-to-Make Recipes to Hasten Your Healing From Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (Concussion & Post Concussion Syndrome) Tina M Sullivan

In May of 2010, my 13 yr. old son suffered a very severe concussion. He fell backwards and slammed the back of his head on a wood floor. A MONTH & A HALF LATER, while playing, he fell to his knees. This seemingly innocent fall was enough to shake his brain and disrupt his brain tissue and brain function. Within the hour, he had lines in his vision, echoed hearing, anxiety, cognitive fatigue, sensory issues, etc. Thus, began my son's journey into the scary world of "Mild Traumatic Brain Injury" and "Post Concussion Syndrome." Our lives STOPPED. Along with having him evaluated by three Pediatric Neurologists, I continued to do the things I could do-- pray and become his advocate by researching proactive steps to help him to heal as quickly and fully as his brain would allow.
As an Integrative Health and Nutrition Coach, I understood that the foods that my son ate could positively or negatively affect his brain's ability to heal. This book explains about nutrition and the brain, foods and additives to stay away from and why, and wonderful foods that you can eat as you heal from brain injury. Included are over 60 recipes that taste great and won't break the bank.
BONUS: I also provide many websites for food products and helpful resources and therapies that helped my son to heal. I did a lot of the work so you don't have to!!!
