A neatly arranged flat lay of recovery items on a cream background

Your brain is an organ. It heals like an organ. And like any healing organ, it needs raw materials, rest, and the right conditions. This page is your supply list, organized by category, with evidence tiers so you know what is well-proven, what is promising, and what is emerging. Nothing here is a prescription — always discuss supplements and interventions with your medical team before starting.

Download the Book for Free: Still You: Emotional Recovery After Stroke covers everything on this page and more — in a format you can read offline, share with your care team, or give to your family.

This is an advance preview edition. A final version will be available on Amazon after editing is complete.

Evidence Tiers

Tier 1: Strong clinical evidence (randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses)

Tier 2: Emerging evidence with clinical promise (smaller trials, strong mechanistic data)

Tier 3: Preclinical or early-stage (animal studies, case reports, pilot data)

Tier 4: Experiential (widely reported by patients, not yet formally studied in post-stroke populations)
