By: Cavin Balaster

Narrated by: Cavin Balaster

Want to optimize your brain function? This book teaches you about specific brain-supporting nutrients, how these nutrients affect us, and what we can eat to support our brain function.

The author is a survivor of a severe traumatic brain injury that left him comatose, with less than a 10 percent chance of regaining consciousness beyond a vegetative state. In this book, he shares real-life stories of how he used nutrition in his own brain recovery, along with scientific studies and research explaining why and how nutrition makes such a difference in our brain function.

After sustaining his severe injury, the author devoted years to researching and connecting with doctors, nutritionists, practitioners, neuroscientists, and many others to learn how to optimize brain recovery and function.

How to Feed a Brain is the culmination of the nutritional tools that he has learned through this journey and used in his own recovery. The book provides links to download printable charts, lists, and user-friendly handouts to take to the grocery store or put on the refrigerator so that you can easily apply what you learn to optimally feed their brains. There are special sections that provide instructions for supplementation and tube feeding.

This book is not only for someone with a brain injury or disease but also for anyone seeking to improve their brain. Ready to get started? How to Feed a Brain will give you the nutritional tools to optimize your brain function.

Amazing...must read!

An amazing story of recovery, hope, & a plethora of powerful knowledge to help heal our brains! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am grateful for all of the knowledge bombs included! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are amazing and such an inspiration!

one of the best resources out there

This book is worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars if you struggle with PCS, especially if you are in an area without a dedicated concussion clinic, or can't afford the appointments you would need to to get the information elsewhere. The online handouts help you integrate the information you get into a lifestyle that will help you change your life. highly recommend.

saved me from my tbi

before this book i was having a migraine almost every day for months, i didn't leave a dark room, and the doctors couldn't make it stop. they kept giving me more and more meds, i was nauseous constantly, couldn't listen to music, and wore two pairs of sunglasses just to go outside. this book gave me back my life. it works do it.

Very Good Information

Cavin you did a great job in writing and reading your book. I appreciate it when the author reads their own books because we get the true spirit in what they are trying to relay. Sorry for your accident, but happy that you have persevered. You have a great family that rallied around you. People think about exercising their body, eating healthy for their body, taking medicine for their body, but neglect their brain. That's how I found you because I wanted an optimal brain. I'm 69 and I don't feel as sharp as I use to. I will use your advice to optimize my brain cells. Thank you. Patricia C
