Seven years ago, Cavin Balaster sustained a two-story fall. He was diagnosed with diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and given less than a 10% chance of regaining consciousness beyond a vegetative state. Cavin did wake up, but he suffered from severe brain fog, double vision and a number of serious infections. He could not eat, walk or talk for several months. How did Cavin repair his broken brain? What role did functional nutrition and neuro-optometry play in his recovery? Today, Cavin is a speaker, educator, blogger and author of How to Feed a Brain, his account of the role nutrition played in healing his brain. He also hosts an award-winning blog and the Adventures in Brain Injury podcast, where he shares what he learned in the process of recovering from TBI with the intention of helping families, practitioners and survivors of all kinds.   On this episode of Ali Fitness, Cavin shares his story of recovering from a traumatic brain injury, walking us through the nutrition and leaky gut protocol he used to heal.
