The NeuroNerds: A Brain Injury Recovery & Pop Culture Show
Recovering from a brain injury can feel very lonely, but The NeuroNerds Podcast is here to help through our love of all things nerd and pop culture! Each Tuesday, join Joe Borges and his co-host Lauren Manzano as they share stories from their personal recovery journeys. They offer tips for coping and thriving post-brain injury. Some episodes feature interviews with fellow survivors and experts. While many episodes explore varying nerd topics from comic book movies to video games that all relate back to brain injury and brain health. If you're a stroke or brain injury survivor, a caregiver or family member of a survivor, or a big lover of nerd culture, this podcast is for you. Hosted on Acast.

I’m 2-1/2 years post aneurysm, I have been searching and searching for something, anything to help me understand the new me. I also found out I’m suffering from PTSD which is a result of the stroke. I just found your WAAF Walk podcast one day ago, and I keep finding more and more, I haven’t got to listen to the Recovery Mindset Program, I think that’s my next stop, I love your upbeat and positive outlook, keep doing what you’re doing! You have me hooked, I will continue to follow your Neuronerds Podcast, thank you
Fantastic!

I came on to listen because Rachel is my niece. I think your show is amazing. You keep the show positive, alive and funny. Your personality is just perfect. It’s very depressing and lonely being paralyzed. You made me smile for this hour. People really don’t understand what it does to your life and especially to your family! Only those who have walked a mile in my shoes. Thank you for doing this.❤️
Thanks

As a 3-time stroke survivor who was discharged from the hospital and back into the world without a user’s manual for my new brain, I felt alone, lost, and isolated. Finding Joe and Lauren saved me. Listening to them feels like hanging out with your best friends. They just happen to be your best friends that also understand brain injury. Thanks to everyone involved with The Neuro Nerds for making me feel less alone.
Is there a Most Authentic Host award?

Joe and Lauren are the real deal!! Not only is their show informative and amazing; their service work within the brain injury community has been crucial in my recovery. I don’t know what I would have done without this resource 🥰 Also this show’s nerdiness helps me understand my husband so much more!

Joe and Lauren are amazing in their conversations. I feel like I’m a silent observer sitting in the room with them. Thank you!

As a speech language pathologist who’s worked with TBI and stroke survivors for more than 25 years, I’ve never heard a more upbeat, authentic fully transparent exchange between Joe and his guests. The episode with Rebekah with a K was genuinely one of the most poignant, profound and FUN episodes. Imagine talking about impending brain surgery and laughing. I felt privy to Joe’s and Rebeka with a K’s deeply personal conversation. I laughed, I cried, I prayed and I held Rebeka in the light on Thursday when she went for surgery. I’ve recommended this podcast to my patients who need to know about this community of bad ass survivors and thrivers and the great support and knowledge they share. THANK YOU!!
Neuro geeks rock!
