#112 - Inside the Brain of PTSD: How A Near Death Blast Sparks A New Way To Rebalance The Brain & Heal It w/Brenden Borrowman

He survived explosions, gunfire, and Afghanistan. But the hardest battle happened inside his own brain. Now he’s trying to change PTSD treatment forever. Episode 112 of The Wild Chaos Podcast features Brenden Borrowman, a Purple Heart Army veteran who survived explosions and gunfire in Afghanistan — then spent years fighting the invisible injuries that followed. To watch this episode in studio, visit: https://youtu.be/if1KpSl1xy0 [https://youtu.be/if1KpSl1xy0] After severe traumatic brain injury, organ damage, and years inside a Warrior Transition Battalion, Brenden became obsessed with one question: What if PTSD is more physical than people realize? This conversation dives into the science behind trauma, TBI, addiction, and suicide prevention. Brenden explains how brain blood flow, oxygen use, and the limbic system may keep people trapped in fight-or-flight mode long after combat ends. We discuss: • PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI) • Veteran suicide prevention • Why some people struggle with traditional therapy • Addiction relapse and nervous system dysfunction • Brain physiology and trauma recovery • VR-based neuroimmersive therapy • Neurova Labs and cognitive rehabilitation • First responder and veteran mental health We also break down the cutting-edge work Brendan and his team are doing with Neurova Labs, using cardio, cognitive load, and VR-based training to help retrain the brain and improve emotional regulation. If you know someone struggling with PTSD, TBI symptoms, burnout, addiction, or suicidal thoughts, this conversation could change how you understand trauma and healing.
