I wanted to share a blog I always enjoy, written by toliverio@90 which is called "How to transform a broken brain into an ultimate badass" Overcoming a Traumatic Braun Injury (TBI).

'When you don't feel as good as you look it can impact your whole life." A client spoke to me about this today.

There were about 61,000 TBI-related deaths in the United States in 2019. That’s about 166 TBI-related deaths every day.
