About The Book
When our nation’s Guardians return home, their mission should be over—but for too many, the battle is just beginning. Traumatic Brain Injuries, Post-Traumatic Stress, and systemic barriers keep them from the care, community, and the promised future they’ve earned.
In Guarding Our Guardians, physician and veteran advocate Chrisanne Gordon, MD, exposes the hidden crisis affecting America’s returning warriors and reveals what must change to keep our national promise. Drawing from years of medical experience and advocacy, she shares powerful stories and practical solutions that unite healthcare, education, and employment systems to support every veteran’s recovery.
This is more than a book—it’s a call to action for citizens, leaders, and communities to step forward together. Because when we guard those who once guarded us, we protect not only their future, but the strength and future of our nation itself.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) to Hope, Healing, and Recovery
About The Book
“I truly believe Dr. Gordon has cracked the code on TBI. This book is going to save millions of lives…”
- Jonathan Wells, J. Wells Media Group
“This book is a rare work and insight into an injured physician’s mind and emotional struggle that must be read by all medical workers and patients suffering from brain injury and concussions.”
- Gerald Dieter Griffin, PharmD, MD, FACFE, Brigadier General, MC, USA, Retired
“A captivating journey into the world of TBI’s from the perspective of a physician and TBI sufferer. A must read for anyone with TBI, those connected to someone who have it, and equally important for anyone in human resources to understand the challenges of a TBI sufferer in the workplace.”
- Tim A. Garrett, Retired CHRO, Honda of America Mfg., Inc.
Often misdiagnosed and misunderstood, traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be a life-altering event which can produce a wide range of symptoms affecting physical as well as psychological health. Indeed, all senses can be affected, especially sight and sound, producing errors in judgment, loss of memory, and difficulty processing information.
Now, a physician shares her personal journey with TBI after suffering a life-changing accident. In this touching and informative book, Dr. Chrisanne Gordon chronicles her struggles, the high points as well as the lows, as she is challenged to make sense of what happened and realizes that her medical training did not prepare her for these struggles. With intimate detail, she explains what it is like to have mTBI, how it affected her life, and what was needed for healing and recovery.
Perhaps, most importantly, Turn the Lights On! is a beacon of hope and understanding for anyone who has experienced a mild traumatic brain injury or concussion, and a guide for their loved ones, caregivers, and health care providers who assist with their recovery.
