**Amrita Sandhu, RCC & Amar Sandhu | Healing After a Life-Changing Head Injury**
Join us for a heartfelt and informative conversation with **Amar Sandhu**, as he shares his journey of recovering from a life-changing head injury. We explore how he's learning to take care of himself **mind, body, and soul**, while navigating subtle symptoms, flare-ups, and the challenges of TBI.
In this video, we discuss:
* **Subtle symptoms to watch for**: fatigue, irritability, noise/light sensitivity, difficulty eating or sleeping, and cognitive challenges.
* **The importance of a support system**: how friends and family can notice flare-ups before the injured person does.
* **Nutrition & mindful eating**: why eating well, avoiding junk and seed oils, and focusing on whole foods is crucial for brain and body recovery.
* **Food awareness & food fraud**: understanding labels, sugars, sodium, and trans fats, and how mislabelled products can affect healing.
* **Meditation & recovery strategies**: calming stress, improving focus, emotional regulation, and managing sensory overload.
* **Understanding tolerance bandwidth**: learning to operate within your limits, a counterintuitive but essential skill for healing, especially for those used to "pushing through" as a source of identity or worth.
* **Supplements & brain support**: how Lion's Mane, GABA, and other natural options may support cognitive function and recovery.
* **Cultural & gender nuances**: exploring how South Asian cultural expectations and male gender norms around strength, endurance, and identity can make self-care and pacing especially challenging—and why unlearning these patterns is key to recovery.
This chat is just a **surface-level preview**—we'll dive deeper into **food fraud, mindful eating, and brain-supporting nutrition** in future episodes.
**Watch, learn, and share** if you or someone you love is navigating recovery from a head injury.
