Book Description

"Tina Sullivan's book,"Nourish Your Noggin," came along at just the right moment. My daughter had suffered two back-to-back concussions. Tina's book provided me with excellent guidance as to what to feed my recovering child and very importantly, what NOT to feed her. "Nourish Your Noggin" also provided excellent brain injury resources, such as websites, brain injury specialists, etc. During such a scary time, Ms. Sullivan's book was a like a soothing balm on a painful wound. I highly recommend this book not only for those dealing with brain injuries, but also for anyone who wants the best nourishment for their child or for him or herself. I learned so much from this highly informative, helpful book!"Rosemary A. In 1990, when I sustained my traumatic brain injury, there was virtually no information about how foods could affect your brain or brain recovery. The hypoglycemia diet was the only one that mentioned how it can affect brain clarity and brain fog. As a board certified health Psychologist and Neuropsychologist, I knew then that what you ate did affect your brain. Tina Sullivans expertise in nutrition as an Integrative Health and Nutrition Coach has provided you, the reader, with a book written with love that provides knowledge of brain injury, how and why food affects the brain and some really wonderful menus." Dr. Diane Roberts Stoler, Ed.D, Licensed Psychologist, Board Certified Health Psychologist, Board Certified Sport Psychologist, Neuropsychologist, Author: Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Tina Sullivans Nourish Your Noggin could not be a more welcome book for our military medical providers and families. Just shy of 2 million U.S. military personnel have deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan since the start of military operations in 2001 with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or concussion as one of the most common forms of combat-related injury. Nourish Your Noggin brings a real awareness to TBI, helps you walk through health care choices, and gives you healthy choices for a well-nourished brain. This book is a must read! Colonel (Retired) Mike Santacroce, USMC, OIF/OEF Veteran, Bronze Star Since I started The Healthy Brain Program?? in Canada, people have been asking me about what is the best kind of food for the brain. There is a subgroup of patients who have suffered head injury and are interested in optimizing their brain function and quality of life. To this population, you have delivered a terrific service. Thank you for your dedicated effort on this usually ignored topic. Stephen J.
