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.
