In addition to his accomplished academic profile, Dr. Grover has published two books: “Spiritual Genomics” and Awakening Gaia. Both can be found on Amazon, Tattered Cover, Barnes and Noble, and Boulder book store. These books discuss the history and integration of using many unique modalities to optimize your DNA via the epigenetic process of incorporating mindfulness, sound therapy, nature and more.
VOLUNTEER WORK
Dr. Grover volunteers his time researching innovative therapies for traumatic brain injuries. He actually co-authored a paper demonstrating the benefits of Transcranial NIR LED therapy for TBI. Research participants were wounded veterans, and the study was funded by the non-profit Tug McGraw foundation and was published in the Journal of photomedicine and Laser therapy. He is studying this NIR light therapy application for mild cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disorders, and is involved in ongoing research with sound therapy. He served on the board of Health Team Works board for almost a decade (formerly the Colorado Clinical Guidelines Collaborative), assisting them with innovative ideas in improving health care for Coloradans.
