#341 | The Invisible Epidemic: Rethinking Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Healing w/Dr. Kyla Pearce from Love Your Brain

What if healing from a traumatic brain injury isn’t just about medical treatment—but about reconnecting to your body, your breath, and your community?

Whether you’ve experienced a concussion, are living with a TBI, care for someone who is, or simply want to understand this invisible epidemic more deeply, navigating recovery can feel isolating and overwhelming. With so many approaches—medical, holistic, emerging, evidence-based—it’s hard to know what truly helps. This episode explores how mindfulness, yoga, science, and community intersect to support real, whole-person healing.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. Why traumatic brain injury is often underdiagnosed—and what’s still misunderstood about concussions today
2. How yoga and mindfulness can improve mental fatigue, depression, interoception, and nervous system regulation after TBI
3. Why community may be one of the most powerful (and overlooked) healing forces available to people impacted by brain injury

Press play now to explore a science-backed, heart-centered approach to TBI recovery—and discover how healing becomes more possible when we walk the path together.
