Matthew Galati

Founder/President

In 2013, Dr Matthew Galati, a medical student at the time, suffered a severe
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in a motor vehicle accident. Refusing to accept
ill fate, he researched how best to heal based on revolutionary new science
around a brain supporting lifestyle.
Against all odds, he recovered fully to complete his medical training and has
come full circle as a physician. After finishing his residency training in
Family Medicine in 2018, Dr Galati completed a fellowship in Environmental
Medicine which has a strong focus on Functional/Integrative Medicine. As of
2019, Dr Galati has his own Family Medicine practice with the East GTA Family
Health Team and he is also a Hospitalist at rehabilitation hospital, Runnymede
Healthcare.
In addition to working as a physician, in 2019, Dr Galati founded the not for
profit organization, Brain Changes Initiative (BCI). The mission of BCI is to
improve the standard of care for Traumatic Brain Injury rehabilitation through
research, education, awareness and programs around a lifestyle approach to
healing the brain.
