Webinar overview

Many people query whether there is a particular form of diet that can help with improving outcomes after brain injury and how to manage their nutritional intake after brain injury.

In this webinar, Sheri Taylor will address these topics as well as discussing what nutrition and lifestyle factors contribute to fatigue. Why people with a brain injury struggle with their weight and what you can do to help manage it and why nutrition is critical for general brain health and recovery after a brain injury.
