More research needs done, but creatine shows promising benefits in multiple capacities including brain injury recovery. Be sure to find out that any supplement used is cleanly sourced and third party tested. Please consult your medical provider about your specific needs

Mild, Moderate Severe are all descriptions of brain injury to describe the initial presentation of the injury. It does not necessarily mean the level of impact or functionality you'll live with post injury

Disability is isolating. Humans are social creatures so that isolation can create lots of problems. If you've experienced brain injury, the trajectory of your recovery will depend in part on your social support system. Find/build your team.

Reasons vs Excuses. Brain injury survivors are not using their injury as an excuse but it is often a reason why their life continues to look different years after the injury. Please offer understanding not judgment #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #braininjurylife

Memorial Day is much more than barbecues & a long weekend. Sacrifices were made & continue to be made. Those service members who came home w/brain injuries make sacrifices daily & we don't want to forget those we can still help #braininjury #memorialday #memorialday2026

Getting help can start with your primary care provider. What can you tell them? Invite them to learn about brain injury with you.

How common is brain injury? Far more common than you think. And this doesn't include aneurysm, consequences of cancer, MS, etc. All of these are types of brain injury as well.
