In this episode of Axons Unleashed, Robbie and Ryan sit down with Dr. Tim Nelson, a veteran, researcher, and leading advocate for transforming healthcare for those who have served. Dr. Nelson’s groundbreaking work in regenerative medicine and his commitment to improving veterans' health outcomes make for a powerful and insightful conversation.
Tim shares his journey from military service as a Top Gun (QFI) fighter pilot to academia, where he has dedicated his career to advancing cutting-edge treatments for injuries that many veterans face. From cellular therapies to innovative rehabilitation approaches, his work is at the forefront of medical science. But this episode is more than just the science—Dr. Nelson speaks candidly about the challenges veterans encounter when seeking medical care, the gaps in the system, his own unexpected heath challenge that ended his ADF career prematurely, and what can be done to drive real change.
Dr. Nelson is the founder of Calmed Forces and Front Foot Health, two initiatives dedicated to improving the well-being of veterans. Learn more about their mission at:
