In this powerful episode of Brain Fitness One, host Thoryn Stephens speaks with Tony Brink—eight-figure Amazon entrepreneur, investor, and wellness advocate—about his extraordinary journey of recovering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and building a life centered on resilience, data, and self-directed healing.
Tony recounts how a 2014 fall on black ice left him with a cerebellum injury, mini-stroke symptoms, and months of neurological confinement. At just 24, he fought through memory loss, sensory overload, and a long, isolating recovery process. What began as trial and error evolved years later into a personalized protocol informed by cutting-edge diagnostics and science-backed interventions.
We dive into:
- The reality of living with—and healing from—a TBI, including the mental and physical toll of early recovery.
- How Tony discovered non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) techniques before they even had a name, using them to stabilize his healing.
- The pivotal role of EEG brain scans (Wavi) in revealing lingering brain damage seven years later—and how one naturopath’s insight changed his trajectory.
- The three-part recovery protocol—NAD injections, glutathione IVs, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy—that reversed brain damage markers and calmed psychosis-level beta waves to a “Zen state.”
- Why wearable data (Whoop, HRV monitoring, etc.) and relentless self-experimentation remain central to his ongoing brain optimization.
- How environmental toxins and heavy metals sparked Tony’s latest innovation: a supplement designed to help clear out modern-day pollutants.
Tony’s story is proof that healing is never too late, and that with curiosity, persistence, and the right tools, we can rewire our brains and reclaim peak performance.
