Manage episode 493053903 series 3579510
In this powerful episode of Broken Brains with Bruce Parkman, retired U.S. Army Green Beret Chris Lessard and his wife, former police officer Marcia Lessard, open up about their deeply personal battles with traumatic brain injury (TBI), PTSD, and the mental health crisis affecting veterans and first responders. Chris shares the harsh reality of living with invisible wounds from combat, while Marcia explains how her background in law enforcement led her to explore functional medicine and holistic healing.
Together, they founded a clinic offering cutting-edge treatments like Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MERT), aiming to treat the root causes of brain dysfunction—not just the symptoms. This episode dives deep into the importance of personalized brain health solutions, trauma-informed care, and the promise of alternative therapies in the fight against PTSD and TBI.
