In Episode #033 of the 1% Better Podcast, we sit down with Mandi Dickey, a neurology nurse practitioner, author, podcast host, and founder of Brain Wellness Solutions. After spending decades treating patients with migraines, strokes, and traumatic brain injuries, Mandi suddenly found herself on the other side of the stethoscope following a life changing car accident that left her with a TBI.
This conversation dives deep into recovery, resilience, and rediscovery. Mandi opens up about navigating the loss of her old identity, rebuilding herself as “Mandi 2.0,” and the emotional and neurological challenges of healing. She also shares powerful tools and unconventional treatments that helped her progress from red light therapy and neuro-feedback to EMDR and nutrition.
We explore how personal adversity shaped her clinical practice, the misconceptions around TBIs and migraines, and why your attitude is everything when it comes to healing. Whether you’ve faced trauma or want to better understand the brain, this episode is packed with inspiration, science, and soul.
