Evangeline Lilly has given an update on her treatment plan after suffering a traumatic brain injury.
The 46-year-old “Lost” star took to Instagram on Sunday to share how she’s “recovering my brain health.”
“I’ve spent a lot of money getting evaluated and getting targeted expert advice on how to heal my brain 🧠,” she said in the video, acknowledging that “not everyone can afford to do this.”
“This advice is specific to me and may not be the exact right path for everyone. I am neither a doctor nor an authority on this issue. But since there is no affordable health care in this country, I will share some of the advice (given).”
In the video, Lilly explained the various supplements she takes to “improve deficiencies in her brain at the moment,” listing N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and creatine as part of her morning routine. She also takes resveratrol, curcumin, and omega-3 at lunch and coenzyme Q10 at dinner.
“I think I’m one of the very lucky people in this country to be able to take care of my body the way I need to, without money getting in the way,” she further admitted.
In May 2025, The Hobbit actress revealed the gruesome injuries she sustained after passing out on a rocky beach.
“I passed out on the beach and fell face first onto a rock,” she wrote in a Substack essay at the time, along with a photo of her bruised and lacerated nose, mouth and jaw. In the graphic photo, she even appeared to have her front teeth removed.
As Lily revealed earlier this year, she also suffered brain damage as a result of the fall and concussion.
“The verdict is in…I have brain damage due to (traumatic brain injury). I am relieved to know that my cognitive decline is not just perimenopausal, but uncomfortable knowing how much of an uphill battle it will be to reverse cognitive decline,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
“Thank you for always asking, for always caring, and for always praying for me 🌺.”
Lily, who announced her retirement from acting in June 2024, explained that scans revealed that “almost all areas of her brain have decreased function.”
“I have brain damage from a traumatic brain injury, and there are probably other factors going on as well,” she admitted.
