After surviving an emergency delivery at birth, a nurse tied a green ribbon on Nick Norman's head. He was given the name "miracle baby." Decades later, he suffered a traumatic brain injury when an intruder attacked him one night on the job. Looking back on his birth and the green ribbon that was tied to his head, Nick Norman knew he was destined to write about the brain. (Green ribbons represent traumatic brain injuries.)

In Crumbs In My Head, author Nick Norman takes his readers deep into his story of growing up and seeing family members suffer from neurological issues. He also explains how his experiences as a culinary student set him on a path to learning about the brain—long before suffering a traumatic brain injury. The book then places focus on an area of research known as "nutritional cognitive neuroscience."

This book is perfect for anyone who wants to better understand how to respond to traumatic brain injuries while learning nutrition's role in recovery. More importantly, Nick Norman uses FAQs for chapters, including conversational storytelling, to simplify complex advancements happening in nutrition and neuroscience.

Since his brain injury, Nick Norman has assisted in the development of healthy brain recipes featured by Nancy Emerson Lombarod, Ph.D., a co-founder of both the Alzheimer's Association and Alzheimer's Disease International; and Maria Shriver, who started The Women's Alzheimer's Movement.

Everything about Nick Norman's story points to courage, hope, and a will to not just survive but to thrive.
