  • Summary

  • In today’s episode of Daily Value, we explore the complex and ever-evolving topic of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs), with a focus on new findings related to nutritional support and recovery. TBIs are often referred to as "invisible injuries" due to their [at times] subtle presentation, but they can have long-lasting effects on brain health and function. Recent research suggests that targeted supplementation may aid in recovery and even mitigate some of the long-term impacts of TBIs.

    Episode Talking Points:

    *Mechanisms of TBI pathology, including primary and secondary injury phases that affect brain metabolism, neuroinflammation, and energy production.

    *Highlighting a recently published narrative review paper (PMID: 39125311) suggesting nutritional interventions that may offer neuroprotection if used peri-TBI.

    *The role of creatine supplementation in maintaining ATP levels during recovery.

    *How omega-3 fatty acids in certain doses, particularly DHA, may promote brain repair/recovery.

    *Other nutrient strategies that show promise in supporting brain health post-TBI.
