S1E20 | Alex De La Campa - Finding His Way post Traumatic Brain Injury

Alex De La Campa is a retired US Navy veteran who served at the Naval Special Warfare. Alex is born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, he was stationed in Chicago, San Diego, and Coronado naval base and now he's back in the Bay Area to study sociology at the San Jose State.

During his time in the Navy, Alex De La Campa suffered a severe injury on his inner ear and a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that resulted not only in the loss of physical but mental and cognitive capabilities. Alex has undergone 14 months of slow and painful recovery to relearn some basic functions such as walking on a straight line.

On this episode, Dr. Theresa Larson is joined by Dr. Megan Graff in Iowa and some of the topics covered are:

  • Why Alex decided to join the Navy and almost joining the Navy Seals
  • How Alex got his injury and affected his plans in life
  • What prompted Alex to go back to college and study Sociology
  • The lack of support by the military on his rare injury
  • Alex' advice to those also suffering with TBI
