076: Beacon of Hope – Christine Altom

Hello Warriors! Welcome to A BATTLE WITHIN, Episode 076

Today on A Battle Within we hear from Christine Altom.  

Christine, like Terry, has experienced three documented brain injuries. All of which from riding her road bike. She tells us how she believes with each one she grew smarter and was able to heal quicker.

During all the recovery processes she used many different non-traditional treatments and her background in exercise physiology to help her along the way. Some include a cryotherapy tank and Hyperbaric Oxygen.

Christine feels that she is close to 100% at this point.

Christine also talks to the fact that she believes hope is a very big part of healing and built a blog to offer exactly that to others.
