How to Feed a Brain: Nutrition for Optimal Brain Function and Repair

I cannot overstate how grateful I am to Cavin for having published this book (and launched his podcast) before I needed it. I am 3.5 months out from a concussion and struggling to recover that final 25% or so of my brain and function. I fully believe that diet and lifestyle can help heal many of our ills, and this book gives me a path forward right now. Gavin's story is inspiring, and his book is well-researched and clearly written. I am a food geek and so innately understand a lot of his advice -- I'm not intimidated by the thought of drastically changing my diet because I know well how to shop and cook for myself -- but I so appreciate how his gentle approach and stories about his own struggles with a new diet might help people who would find it all daunting. I am in week 2 of following his advice (and also Dr. Titus Chiu's BrainSave plan). It's not an instantaneous miracle cure, but I do feel better in several ways that just might be related to this diet.

I WISH I SAW THIS BOOK ONE YEAR AGO. THANKS DR DEBORAH ZELINSKY FOR ASKING TO BUY IT. THANKS CAVIN FOR MAKING TIME TO TALK TO ME. I AM SO HAPPY.OmG.. I call "feed a brain" my bible for brain health. It was my first immersion to the relationship between the brain and the guts. This book brought me to my feet as I read the "ins" and "out" andcthrew out all the dangerous food from my fridge. I will recommend this book as a text book for medical students and health care professionals to help their patients but most importantly, that people take the driving seat of their healthcare by educating themselves by themselves for themselves.

I have had brain issues for many years. I purchased the Kindle version. I like the idea of reading Cavins book because he has lived through terrible brain injury and has come back victorious.

What an incredible journey for Cavin, from a predicted vegetative state, to an author and teacher, informing us how tofeed our brains to optimize our lives. Very informative book and well organized , and written so it is understandable.Love the charts.Thank you Cavin and thanks to your Mother who didn't give up.

following this way of eating has been a complete game-changer for me. I am 1 year post concussion and thought I had stalled in my recovery. Buy this book, follow the instructions, see RESULTS!

I bought this book because I didn't want a weightloss diet, but I wanted the most optimal gut/brain food I could find to help with an autoimmune. I subscribe to Cavin's podcast and another newsletter for gut health which also recommended this book. Also, he's a personal friend of mine who's recovery I have witnessed firsthand. Thank you so much for all of the research and your continued dedication to not only help yourself, but for also helping others!

In 2015, I barely survived a hemorrhagic stroke caused by a brain aneurysm rupture in my right frontal lobe.My neurosurgeon went from telling me I wouldn't live another 24 hours to saying I had finished my recovery and there wasn't anything else to be done.A few months later, I found Cavin's podcast and began to heal. When he released this book, I immediately bought it, and have since bought many more to give to people I love.Recovery feels unbearably slow at times, but this book gave me hope when I had none. The change in my energy levels was quite noticeable, just by learning a few things taught in this book, and modifying my diet accordingly.Highly recommend this book.

Cavin's story is so inspirational and moving. As a practicing Functional Neurologist that specializes in Post-Concussion Syndrome and having suffered multiple head injuries myself, the information that Cavin has put together based on his experiences is totally spot on.I love seeing such cutting-edge information on brain health out there in the world. Highly recommended!

Well researched book with TONS of awesome tips on how to feed your brain.As it is, I have been through trauma and have an injury, but I would say this book is for anyone looking to sharpen their creativity and productivity. It's the fuel we put in us that makes the difference.This book will remain on my desk to go back to - many times.

Just an amazing educational book

Thank you so much for this book! This perfectly summarises the diet you need to follow for optimal nutrition for brain rehabilitation, and I’m no professional in this field but it seems to be underpinned by all the latest research in neurology. I’d highly recommend this for anyone suffering with a brain injury or Post Concussion Syndrome!

Buen resumen y tips prácticos para mantener la salud del cerebro. No solo para accidentes o enfermedades. Desde la alimentación, suplementos y hasta entender las etiquetas de productos.

The author seems very credible, without the over-the-top hype so many of these books have. It got me to take action.
