Traumatic Brain Injuries, also known as TBI, can devastate a persons life in more ways than one.  Often resulting in permanent neurological deficits, TBIs can also lead to changes in brain chemistry and hormone metabolism.  Because of the unique and delicate structure of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary axis, communication pathways between these two critics areas of the brain can result in disruption of hormone feedback mechanisms, thus changing a persons hormones balance. The overall health of a person relies heavily on the neuroendocrine systems. Disrupted feedback loops can result in problems with thyroid, stress, and sex hormones.
