WHO IS CAVIN CFNC
Cavin Balaster, CFNC is a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor specializing in neuroplasticity and the gut/brain axis. After a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) left him comatose with less than a 10% chance of recovery, 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.
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:
Why didn’t the hospital emphasize nutrition beyond basic calories and macronutrients?
What else was missing from his recovery plan?
What could he do to optimize his healing?
These questions ignited a deep dive into functional nutrition and neurology. Cavin became a practitioner, founded an award-winning blog and podcast (Adventures in Brain Injury), and authored How to Feed a Brain, which compiles the nutritional strategies he discovered on his journey.
While his recovery inspires brain injury survivors, Cavin’s work extends far beyond brain injury. He helps clients address neurodegenerative conditions, digestive health, and overall brain optimization through the lens of functional nutrition and neurological resilience.

Faithfully following the principles of functional medicine played a large role in Cavin’s recovery from a near-fatal brain injury. He not only recovered, he has gone on to immerse himself in the field and tirelessly advocate for those with brain injuries.
This is not the kind of information you will find in the standard health care model. Optimal brain care and nutrition is a journey most patients must make on their own or with a qualified practitioner. However...
Cavin presents a thorough guide to brain nutrition that includes sections on gastric tube feeding — a big plus you won't find in other nutrition guides. Whether you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury, are wrestling with a neurodegenerative disease, or are simply interested in improving your brain health, this book is for you

Ideas are nothing without action - and in "Feed a Brain" Cavin shares his journey of brain healing in bite-sized action steps that are friendly to those with brain injury, brain fog, or brain degeneration.
From the first time I met Cavin many years ago, when he was relatively fresh off of the acute phase of his head injury I was impressed with his tenacity to learn what he needed to know to get his brain back. I have had the honor to treat thousands of brain-challenged patients, and I have learned there is no information so powerful as that which comes from somebody in your own shoes.
I warmly recommend "Feed a Brain" to you.

For anyone recovering from brain injury, Cavin Balaster's book How to Feed a Brain is the critical link between theory and application.
Like Cavin, my mother suffered a traumatic brain injury (in her case, a ruptured brain aneurysm). During her acute care, top neurocritical physicians repeatedly emphasized the importance of nutrition in the process of recovery. The trouble is, that nutrition often amounts to generic facility food loaded with refined sugars. Or, in the case of tube feedings: corn syrup, maltodextrin, milk proteins, and more sugar. The last things a delicate, recovering brain and gut should receive.

You're my food professor, Cavin.
You were the first person who... not theoretically, who practically set me on the right path, with my son's feeding. You directed my attention to the fact that the body is designed naturally and showed me how to help it heal itself through what we eat and supplement. And the difference was so, so, so, so clear. It's not like he gained his healthy weight back overnight, but you could see his demeanor, you could see the freshness come back.

I started working with Cavin 2 1/2 months ago, struggling with food restrictions, fatigue, and low energy. My quality of life was so poor I felt like I was just waiting to die. Now, I’m eating a variety of foods, digesting better, and have much more energy. I recently went on vacation with my family and could keep up all day. My life has changed drastically in a short time, and I’m finally moving in a positive direction. Thank you so much

You see the whole picture and have helped us so much not only with nutrition, but also with where to focus and prioritize. We have made so much progress since partnering with you. Thank you!

I feel a camaraderie while working with Cavin. I've been around a lot of healthcare professionals who don't seem to have a heart for people. Cavin does.

Cavin helped me to regain control of my life. He taught me how to ground my nervous system, to visualize the future I want, and to align my actions with that future me. I am now 6 months sober and I’m on the right path! Thank you, Cavin
