His illness got very scary when the infection traveled to his brain. temporarily creating "dementia-like" symptoms. 

This experience, and having to act as his caregiver and advocate, caused her to go down the research rabbit hole. As she gained a deeper understanding of the brain, she became more passionate about the topic and helping other people so she became a certified brain health specialist.
