What if healing from traumatic brain injury (TBI) didn’t rely solely on medication?
In this eye-opening episode of Broken Brains with Bruce Parkman, Bruce sits down with Dr. Joe Dituri—retired U.S. Navy officer, renowned researcher, and leader in the field of hyperbaric medicine—to explore the groundbreaking science behind Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and its potential to revolutionize TBI treatment, especially for veterans and athletes.

Dr. Dituri shares his personal journey of surviving and recovering from a brain injury, and how HBOT helped him find hope and healing where traditional medicine fell short. Together, they unpack the largest HBOT study ever conducted, revealing promising results that challenge the status quo of pharmaceutical-based approaches. From the role of neuroplasticity to the economic impact of untreated TBIs, this conversation is a powerful call to action for better treatment access, increased research funding, and legislative advocacy.

🎧 Whether you're a veteran, caregiver, policymaker, or mental health advocate, this episode is packed with life-changing insights that can help shift how we view brain trauma—and how we treat it.
