The men and women of our military risk everything to protect our country’s freedom and this award-winning show seeks to repay them.

NEW YORK, May 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — On Friday, June 2, 2023, at 7:30AM EST, Cohen Veterans Bioscience CEO and President Dr. Magali Haas, will appear on the latest episode of Military Makeover to discuss the “invisible wounds”, state of the science and pursuits to advance treatments related to traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Military Makeover with Montel^® offers hope and a helping hand to members of our military and their loved ones. Show host and military advocate Montel Williams, a veteran of both the Marine Corps and the Navy, leads the Makeover team’s mission.

“We are honored to support a program that helps our veterans and grateful to be invited into the home of Matthew and his family to hear first hand his experience with TBI and PTSD”, said Magali Haas, MD, PhD, CEO & President of CVB.

Dr. Magali Haas meets with U.S. Army Staff Sergeant veteran Matthew Mitchell to listen to his experience and discuss the latest science pursuits for those affected by Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD. Matthew’s vehicle drove over an improvised explosive device (IED) while on deployment in Iraq. The intense explosion and its aftermath left him with a TBI. For long periods of time, the traumatic incident affected his mental and emotional health, leading him into a dark hole of depression and PTSD. “The effects of Traumatic Brain Injury should never be underestimated and I fully support the advancements in science Cohen Veterans Bioscience is leading”, said Staff Sergeant Mitchell.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are often called the “invisible epidemic.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year 2.87 million Americans experience a TBI, and about 5.3 million are living with a TBI-related disability. And yet it receives relatively little attention.

Frank Larkin, former Navy SEAL, 40th US Senate Sergeant at Arms commented, “We ask our military to do our nation’s business and we must be there to support them when they come home. Cohen Veterans Bioscience continues to advance research for brain injuries for both civilians and veterans and we all need to step up and support the cause.”

Cohen Veterans Bioscience is a non-profit biomedical research organization leading a new approach to research, diagnosis, and treatment of PTSD and TBI. The organization is dedicated to advancing brain health by fast-tracking precision diagnostics and tailored therapeutics, leading the way to cure “invisible wounds” for the millions of veterans, service members, first responders, and civilians who suffer from brain trauma-related conditions.
