Kim and Co-Host Caren Robinson Discuss Resources and Support for the Brain Injury Community – Where do we find these things. The merit of doing so, as well as the challenges can be daunting.
In Honor of Our Veteran’s with Kim Justus – Veteran’s Day
Andrew Marr is a Special Forces Green Beret, Co-Founder and CEO of Warrior Angels Foundation, and author of TALES FROM THE BLAST FACTORY: A Brain Injured Special Forces Green Beret’s Journey Back From The Brink. Andrew is married to Becky, the love of his life, together they have five children.
Missions/objectives of high importance must be pursued no matter the probability of success, and without fear of failure. Our mission is of high importance. We will succeed
Marr wasn’t impressed with the current state of Veterans’ Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD patient care. So… instead of waiting for someone else to change it, he decided to act! He sought out to find an alternative way to provide world class care to Veterans affected by TBI and PTSD. The Warrior Angels Foundation along with Dr. Mark L. Gordon have done it! See: www.waftbi.org
Season of Change – Discussion, Open Mic and Indie Music
Tis the season of change, both literally and figuratively. For many of us, the last blast of the beautiful vibrant colors of the landscape, or adjusting to it getting darker earlier. For many, it is the onset of Seasonal Affective Disorder. This time of year evokes many things. One might be examining the change in ourselves after brain injury. Call in and join me.
Simon Says – Is Halloween the Only Masks We Wear
Co-Host Simon Lewis and Kim Justus discuss Halloween, which may not be the only time we survivors wear “masks!” Change happens this time of year, that can facilitate a bit of unrest too. Breaking it down. 🙂

Concussion Cure with Dr Wand
Dr. Wand is a clinical neurologist in private practice since 1982, having vast experience diagnosing and treating neurological conditions for 40 yrs. He has always had an active interest in research since medical school. His clinical research interests include newer and more effective methods of diagnosing and treating neurological conditions. The advantage of his unique and innovative treatment protocols stem from combining traditional and alternative methods, a field known as integrative neurology.
He has developed a multidisciplinary treatment approach to Traumatic Brain Injury, post-concussion syndrome, Autism, chronic pain, arthritic, neck and back pain, hormonal imbalances and peripheral neuropathy, especially the diabetic type. His protocols have demonstrated effectively they can reverse neurological deficits whereas the traditional treatment cannot. Dr. Wand’s combined approach of traditional and alternative treatments seems to be the most effective when treating and reversing what is usually considered to be permanent damage to the central and peripheral nervous system.
Because there is NO standard treatment for Concussion, Dr. Wand wrote The Concussion Cure, 3 Proven Methods to Heal your Brain. The book is unique in genre since it is the only book which explains how to both diagnose and treat all the symptoms of a concussion with two specific tests which themselves generate the treatments.

The Cost of Trauma with Caren Robinson
We Remember. We remember the social trauma of 9-11-2001, changing the way Americans live from that day forward. We also remember the day each of us experienced the personal trauma, shaping our lives again forever. “Psychological trauma is a type of damage to the mind that occurs as a result of a distressing event. Trauma is often the result of an overwhelming amount of stress that exceeds one’s ability to cope, or integrate the emotions involved with that experience”.
Join Kim Justus, and new Frequent Contributer on the 2nd WED of many months, Caren Robinson. If you’d like to hear her story, refer back to our show on July 24th where her story was featured. Co-Host Caren created Web Site and Blog to help take the struggle out of finding resources and information when someone is faced with a Trauma – from a Polytrauma or Brain Injury. See: hopetbi.com
Michael McKay’s Promising Future Cut Short
Michael McKay was born and raised in metro-Atlanta. He earned a football scholarship to Gardner-Webb University, where he played quarterback. His senior he earned national all-star honors and received attention from professional football leagues. Michael graduated with a communications degree, with the goal of being a sportscaster if professional football wasn’t his calling. Four months later, Sept 9th 2000 his life changed, when he suffered a catastrophic brain injury from an automobile accident. He had little chance to live due to the extreme nature of his injuries.
After 7.5yrs of extensive rehab and thousands of prayers, he finally passed the medical exam to be medically cleared to drive. Michael is still in pursuit of his broadcasting goal, believing that God didn’t bring him this far to leave him by himself. Michael is a beacon of light for others. He still desires to be a light as a TV/Radio personality. See: motivationwithmichael.com & youtu.be/-W45iH4AlYc
