This information is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional for personal medical guidance.

Getting your blood work checked regularly after a TBI is not just routine—it’s crucial. These tests:
1. Help detect and quantify brain injury early, often more sensitively than imaging alone.
2. Predict long-term outcomes, enabling tailored care planning.
3. Allow safe reduction of unnecessary testing (like CT scans).
4. Reveal hidden, delayed damage or hormonal disruptions that may emerge over time.
5. Guide both emergency and long-term treatment decisions, improving overall outcomes and safety.

Can stimulating the vagus nerve help veterans with TBI recover?

Research suggests vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) may reduce brain inflammation, protect against further injury, and even support recovery of consciousness after a traumatic brain injury. Early animal studies show smaller lesion sizes and better recovery outcomes, while small human studies suggest non-invasive VNS is safe and potentially helpful.

Larger clinical trials are still underway, so this is not a proven treatment yet but it’s an exciting area of research in TBI recovery.

Referenced journals & studies:
• Zhou et al., Neuromodulation (2020) – Feasibility of tVNS in severe TBI patients
• Divani et al., Frontiers in Neuroscience (2022) – Review of VNS in TBI recovery
• Duan et al., Journal of Neurotrauma (2019) – Animal study showing reduced brain damage with VNS
• Ongoing ClinicalTrials.gov studies (NCT02974959, NCT06723743)

1. Whole-Food, Anti-Inflammatory Diets
Diets like Mediterranean, MIND, and DASH—rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish (omega-3s), nuts, and olive oil—are tied to improved brain health and reduced cognitive decline

2. Targeted Nutrients & Supplements
Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA): Research indicates they may support brain structure, reduce inflammatory responses after TBI, and enhance cognitive function and blood flow
Creatine: Often used by military personnel, creatine may boost mitochondrial function, cerebral blood flow, and cognitive outcomes post-TBI—in some studies, showing benefits in children and adolescents
Vitamin D: Emerging but promising as a safe supplement for TBI recovery

3. Gut-Brain Axis & Lifestyle Integration
Nutrition affecting the gut microbiome (through fiber, probiotics, phytonutrients) may influence neuroinflammation and recovery trajectories in mild TBI
The U.S. DoD’s Warfighter Nutrition Guide suggests a whole-food pattern rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, fiber, micronutrients, and probiotics to support both performance and long-term brain health

4. Avoiding Harmful Substances
Caffeine and herbal energy supplements: The VA/DOD guidelines caution against excessive caffeine and unverified energy supplements during the post-acute phase of TBI
Alcohol: After TBI, sensitivity to alcohol increases, and consumption can worsen cognitive and emotional symptoms and elevate risk of re-injury

5. Brain-Boosting Meal Plans & Veteran Care Context
Programs like the Defense Intrepid Network integrate tailored nutrition into recovery plans for service members with TBI—addressing symptoms like pain, depression, anxiety, and sleep disruption .

6. Long-Term Health Focus
Veterans with TBI face elevated risks for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related illnesses. Diets rich in fiber and low in added sugars/saturated fats offer dual benefits for brain and heart health post-TBI

Today we pause to honor the 13 brave U.S. service members who gave their lives during the Afghanistan withdrawal in August 2021. Their sacrifice reminds us of the true cost of service and the courage it takes to stand in harm’s way for others.

We carry their memory forward with gratitude and respect, holding close the families and loved ones who continue to bear their loss.

Forever remembered. Never forgotten.
