Neuro Coach @ Feed a Brain

Specialties: TBI, Stroke, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Brain Health

In 2011 Cavin Balaster sustained a severe traumatic brain injury that left him comatose with less than a 10% chance of ever regaining consciousness beyond a persistent vegetative state. He didn’t eat, walk, or talk for months while he was in the hospital. He was breathing from a tube in his neck, receiving nutrition from a tube in his belly, and his left hand was completely flexed inward.

About a year after his injury, he was introduced to a nutritional protocol that helped him begin to regain some clarity. That’s when he dove into an intense study of why nutrition made such a difference. For over 6 years, he has devoted his life to studying metabolism, neurometabolism, mechanisms of neuroplasticity, neuroscience, and nutrition, while reaching out to doctors, researchers, practitioners, and neuroscientists, to learn everything he can to optimize his brain function and to maximize his recovery.

Cavin started an award-winning blog and a podcast (“Adventures in Brain Injury”), where he interviews doctors, practitioners, researchers, and others involved in neurorehabilitation and brain function.

Cavin recently released his first book, How to Feed a Brain, which is the culmination of the nutritional tools he has learned through this journey. Cavin wrote this book to share with others the nutritional information that has helped him to regain his brain function. To celebrate the release of this book, Cavin launched the Feed a Brain Interview Series where he assembled interviews from some of the top brain and nutrition experts like Dr. David Perlmutter, Datis Kharrazian, Dr. Terry Wahls, Dr. Dan Engle, Jessica Flannigan, Nora Gedgaudas, and more. While his recovery has been an astounding example for brain injury survivors, his work is not just for those with neurological conditions –it is for anyone wanting to improve their brains.

Kiele Jael, Kiele Jael Wellness / The Sensual Chef

Wellness Chef and Sensuality Coach for Women

I help women focus on self-love and sensuality through holistic nutrition, meditational cooking, and lifestyle transformations.

I am a certified holistic nutrition chef and sensuality coach, just for women. My story began 12 years ago working a high-stress designer job in the fashion industry in New York City, when I got extremely sick with a nickel poisoning for 7 months. After a long journey with doctors and rx drugs, I healed myself through food, cooking, and sensuality rituals and modalities to find my femininity again.

I then attended the Natural Gourmet Institute of Culinary Arts in New York City and became passionate about helping women heal and thrive through focusing on self-love and tapping into their sensuality using whole food education and holistic cooking. It’s all about shifting the mindset to view cooking as a sensual, healing ritual to nourish your mind, body, and soul.

I work 1:1 with amazing, powerful women who are seeking to feel authentic and confident in their health and sensual selves so they can thrive in every aspect of their lives.

I frequently attend chef wellness retreats around the country, women’s community events, and I love coaching women how to cook healthy and feel sexy for life.

Lifestyle & Nutrition Doctor, former AWC Steering Committee Member

Dr. Lauryn Lax, OTD, NTP is a lifestyle & nutrition doctor on a mission to help people worldwide reinvent the way they look, move, feel and think.

As a Doctor of Occupational Therapy, Nutritionist, and Functional Medicine Practitioner, Lauryn’s work is inspired by her 20+ years of personal and clinical experience, spent recovering from several chronic and complex illnesses, including autoimmune disease, diabetes, IBS, hypothyroidism and eating disorders. After seeing over 20 doctors nationwide and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in efforts to diagnose and treat her conditions, with little help and few answers, Lauryn decided to take her health back into her own hands.

Through extensive study and research, continual self-experimentation, formal training, and her unrelenting faith and determination, she recovered from her debilitating chronic conditions. Since then, she’s made it her life mission to share what she learned with others and help them do the same, no matter their health challenge or struggle. Lauryn earned her Bachelor’s degree at the University of Texas, Doctorate at Belmont University in Nashville and continued her training in functional medicine under leader Chris Kresser and his Kresser Institute, as well as the Institute of Functional Medicine.

She lives in Austin, where she operates her private functional medicine and nutrition practice Thrive Wellness & Recovery and keeps her health journalism skills alive as well: blogging, podcasting, writing books and health articles for publications nationwide.

Linda L. Isaacs, M.D., received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Kentucky, graduating with High Distinction with a major in biochemistry. She received her medical degree from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, then completed a residency in Internal Medicine at the Department of Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center at New York University Medical School. She is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine.

Dr. Isaacs worked with her colleague Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D., for more than twenty years, using a nutritional approach based on the work of William Donald Kelley, D.D.S., for treating patients diagnosed with cancer and other serious degenerative illnesses. After Dr. Gonzalez’ untimely death in July 2015, she continued with the work they shared, moving to Austin in 2019. The treatment involves diet, which varies from patient to patient and can range from almost exclusively vegetarian to one that is heavy in animal protein and fat; individualized nutritional supplement protocols, which for some patients include large doses of pancreatic enzymes; and procedures such as coffee enemas that help the body rid itself of metabolic wastes.

In 1999, Dr. Isaacs and Dr. Gonzalez completed a research study in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer: the results were published in the peer-reviewed journal Nutrition and Cancer, showing survival well beyond what is described in the medical literature. They also published a series of case reports in the peer-reviewed journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, and co-authored the book The Trophoblast and the Origins of Cancer. Dr. Isaacs wrote the article “Deciding to Pursue an Alternative Cancer Therapy” to help prospective patients sort through their options; it is available on her website at https://www.drlindai.com/pursuing_alt_ther.html.

Shefaly Ravula, PA-C is the founder of Precision Metabolic Health, a virtual telehealth practice that uses a culinary medicine toolkit for digestive and metabolic health optimization.

With a background in conventional gastroenterology as well as experience as a cooking instructor and kitchen coach, Shefaly intertwined the two to create Precision Metabolic Health, where she helps guide patients in a medical and nutrition philosophy that is an intersection of lifestyle medicine, functional medicine, preventive medicine, and the burgeoning field of nutrigenomics.

The foundation of empowering people to take control of their health is “food as medicine” and so she simultaneously launched the Food-as-Medicine Academy, a virtual cooking academy teaching nutrition WITH cooking — and learning to apply it in the kitchen.

Precision Metabolic has various service options for all states in the USA and globally, as we are a virtual practice.

More about Shefaly

Shefaly Ravula has been a board-certified physician associate for about 25 years. She graduated from the University of Texas in Austin in 1997 and graduated from the UT Southwestern Physician Assistant Graduate Program in 1999. After several initial years of working in Seattle in inpatient care, she and her husband moved to Austin and she began working in conventional inpatient and outpatient gastroenterology. It was around this time, especially after a significant family health scare, that she began taking a deep dive into nutrition courses and this started a lifelong journey into nutrition education.

During a hiatus from medical practice while raising her small children, she also began teaching cooking classes in Austin. She ultimately became a food writer, food-as-medicine instructor, and kitchen coach for patients. During this time she continued expanding her nutrition knowledge by attending nutrition conferences for medical providers, taking CME courses, and beginning the Institute of Functional Medicine certification process. Shefaly continued working in GI addressing gut health, IBS, inflammatory bowel disease, GERD and other gastrointestinal issues, using her nutrition knowledge base, up until the pandemic began when she decided to pursue her true passion of integrative and lifestyle medicine. She worked in a conventional practice as a nutritionist and functional medicine provider for 2 years, primarily working with metabolic dysfunction, hormone imbalances, heart disease, insulin resistance, obesity and IBS patients in this unique position in that practice.

Ultimately she decided to open Precision Metabolic Health (PMH), a virtual telehealth functional nutrition and lifestyle medicine micropractice, which at its core uses a culinary medicine toolkit for digestive and metabolic health optimization. At PMH, she helps guide patients in a medical philosophy that is an intersection of lifestyle medicine, functional medicine, prevention medicine, and the burgeoning field of nutrigenomics. The foundation of it all is “food as medicine” and she simultaneously launched the Food-as-Medicine Academy, a virtual cooking academy teaching nutrition alongside cooking and learning to apply it in the kitchen.
