Cavin Balaster, CFNC is a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor specializing in neurology and medical advocacy. After a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) left him comatose with less than a 10% chance of emerging from a minimally conscious state, Cavin defied the odds. He spent months unable to eat, walk, or talk, breathing through a tracheostomy tube and receiving nutrition through a feeding tube, all while his left hand remained completely flexed inward. About a year after his injury, a nutritional protocol sparked a turning point, helping him regain clarity and functionality. This experience led him to ask critical questions: 1- Why didn’t the hospital emphasize nutrition beyond basic calories and macronutrients? 2- What else was missing from his recovery plan? 3- What could HE do to optimize his healing? Driven to find answers, Cavin immersed himself in the study of functional nutrition and neurology. He became a practitioner, founded the award-winning blog and podcast Adventures in Brain Injury, and authored How to Feed a Brain, a comprehensive guide to the nutritional strategies that fueled his recovery. Today, Cavin works with clients to address brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, digestive concerns, low energy, brain fog, and overall brain optimization through a functional nutrition and neurological approach. While his recovery is a beacon of hope for brain injury survivors, Cavin’s work extends far beyond TBI. He helps clients achieve resilience and vitality through innovative, science-backed strategies for brain and body health.
