A board certified neurologist shares exercises to help keep your mind sharp, and suddenly everyone in the house becomes an expert. 🧠

I did the exercises.

I followed the instructions.

I asked, “How are we doing?”

My husband: “I know one more hand movement.”

You can see his contribution to my brain health at the end. 😂

Did we pass, @headacheguru ?

Dementia is on the rise and supporting brain health has never been more important!

In this collab with neurologist Dr. Suraj Malian, we’re bringing awareness to something surprisingly simple (and accessible) (and fun) for brain health 👇

finger exercises!!!

A study published on ScienceDirect (Liu et al., 2023, S2949834123000338) highlights how structured finger movement exercises may support motor function and cognitive outcomes in older adults with cognitive decline.

Why and how ⁉️⁉️⁉️🤨

🧠 Your hands are directly mapped to your brain
🧠 Coordinated movement increases cognitive engagement
🧠 Consistent stimulation supports cognitive reserve via neuroplasticity over time

Ps…Cognitive reserve is one of the most important protective factors we can build because it reflects the brain’s ability to stay resilient despite age related changes.

Give it a shot and comment how you do!

MIGRAINE: what I wish I knew in the beginning. #migraine is a chronic, life-long condition and can be a disability.

There are many types & subtypes of migraine, and that can change throughout your life. Migraine does NOT need to be super duper painful. As a primary headache disorder, a migraine attack’s cause is migraine disease — meaning that migraine disease makes one sensitive to stimuli & factors called triggers, and those triggers may pile up to provoke an attack. Stress is the biggest trigger of all, and most triggers can’t be avoided, so disease management is critical.

You can’t get rid of migraine, it’s a lifelong disease… but remission is possible with appropriate treatment and management. While quick fixes seem amazing, they often don’t target what’s driving migraine, which may lead to disease progression.

The best way to PREVENT migraine is to work with a neurologist or headache specialist and develop an individualized preventive & acute plan for YOU. Because different migraine types & severities (& comorbidities) have different contributing mechanisms that make your migraine disease unique to you.

Headache specialists will share the most accurate, evidence-based information — because they have additional training in 200+ headache disorders, including migraine. Other neurologists & pain management specialists will have a working knowledge of the disease but it won’t be as current/up to date. They won’t know the nuance and the distinctions that can make the difference between transitioning from high-frequency episodic migraine to episodic migraine (instead of to chronic migraine). The migraine world is changing fast, so let’s support the experts and share their posts when they publish.

Follow the science, not the hype! If I missed a HAS, please tag them in the comments! I left some purposefully out bc their accounts are mostly personal.
