One Shot Down with Nolan Thomas

My guest NOLAN Thomas was shot in the head. On April 23, 2017, two months before he was due to graduate college, his car was surrounded by six people when a gunman shot through his driver’s side window in a random attempted robbery. When the shooter saw that Nolan was still alive, he put the gun against his head and pulled the trigger, causing the bullet to enter one side of Nolan’s brain and exit out the other. The horrific event rendered him on life support, paralyzed, and eventually on an intensive lifelong fitness routine to optimize the quality of life as a paraplegic. Growing up as an athlete he’s had to learn how to recover and adapt to sports and life, after injury. With that being said, being permanently disabled is not on Nolan’s agenda as his brain injury is just another circumstance to overcome..

Check out his Blog: tbitreatment.org where he posts his treatments, recovery techniques, and thoughts on life.

Animal Whisperer Encourages Natural Treatments

Paige Speers original major in college was equestrian science, and her B.A. is in dance in 2007. She has also had experience in walking and training dogs. Strong reading and organizational skills, in addition to uncertainty about effective utilization of her true interests led Paige to clerical office work. Her first job with full time hours and pay only lasted for 9 months before the injury. 12 years of medication-suppressed anxiety abruptly made itself known in the form of pulmonary embolism, with subsequent cardiac arrest and anoxic brain injury. With a foot in both categories, Paige is currently giving encouragement in discussing her recovery with natural modalities. An amazing thing happens in the 2nd hour of the show .. The kind of thing we’re blessed to be here for – Peer to Peer Support!
