Listen to learn about the best ways to heal your brain and what you should avoid after experiencing head trauma. Considering most traumatic brain injuries are mild and many folks aren’t fully aware of their injury, you don’t want to miss this critical information on protecting your brain health! Key takeaways: [1:08] Dr. Dan Engle’s career briefing [2:23] Dr. Engle became interested in brain recovery after his own injury. [5:30] How do you know if you’ve injured your brain?

[10:01] Water: floatation therapy [11:28] Light: light therapy and vitamin D [12:08] Oxygen: hyperbaric oxygen therapy for brain repair [13:46] Food: the food you eat influences your recovery -- eat clean, organic, fat-based foods. [14:29] Energy: pulsed electromagnetic field technology. [16:55] What should you avoid when you’re recovering from a brain injury? It’s important to avoid: toxicity, including heavy metals like aluminum; influence of high electromagnetic fields from computers and cell phones; extra stimulation; stress; high-sugar diet; and subsequent head trauma.
