Beloved Marvel actress Evangeline Lilly gave fans a glimpse into her costly treatment following a traumatic brain injury.
The “Ant-Man and the Wasp” star, 46, took to Instagram over the weekend to reveal that she had spent a fortune trying to “remedy deficiencies in [her] brain.”
Lilly shared a video of herself talking about the pricey process of restoring her brain’s health.
“I have spent a lot of money getting evaluated and getting targeted, expert advice on how to heal my brain,” Lilly captioned the post. “Not everyone can afford to do this.”
The “Lost” star went on to explain, “This advice was for me specifically and may not be the exact right path for everyone. I am not a doctor nor an authority on any of this. But in the absence of affordable medical care in this country, I am sharing some of the advice [given] to me.”
Evangeline Lilly Shares Details of Her Expensive Treatment
In the video, Lilly admitted that she feels extremely fortunate to be able to afford the treatment she needs. She also gave extensive details of her regimen in hopes of helping those who also suffered from a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
“I am getting experts to tell me how to remedy the deficiencies in my brain at the moment,” Lilly said. “I consider myself one of the extraordinarily fortunate people in this country who can take care of my body the way that it needs to be taken care of without money getting in the way of that.”
She continued, “And so I want to share what I am learning from them in case any of you out there are also experiencing repercussions from a TBI, a concussion, and want to attend to your brain but don’t know how to.”
Lilly then explained the supplements she’s been taking, including free amino acids, creatine, omega-3s, and an antioxidant.
“This is obviously a lot of supplements and I, as a general note about supplements, I don’t take supplements on a daily basis,” the actress added. “I take them on an as-needed basis, so I will be on these supplements for a period of time that I deem appropriate.”
What Happened to Evangeline Lilly?
In May 2025, Lilly revealed that she fell face-first into a boulder on a beach and was rushed to the hospital. It was later revealed that she suffered brain damage as a result of the freak accident.
“Verdict’s in…I do have brain damage from my tbi,” Lilly said in a post shared earlier this month. “Comforting to know my cognitive decline isn’t just peri-menopause, discomforting to know what an uphill battle it will be to try to reverse the deficiencies.”
