Description

Recovering from a brain injury can feel very lonely, but The NeuroNerds Podcast is here to help through our love of all things nerd and pop culture! Each Tuesday, join Joe Borges and his co-host Lauren Manzano as they share stories from their personal recovery journeys. They offer tips for coping and thriving post-brain injury. Some episodes feature interviews with fellow survivors and experts. While many episodes explore varying nerd topics from comic book movies to video games that all relate back to brain injury and brain health. If you're a stroke or brain injury survivor, a caregiver or family member of a survivor, or a big lover of nerd culture, this podcast is for you.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
