Andrew Huberman shared his thoughts on Parkinson’s Disease and how motivation affects movement.

I think there may be more than motivation, and it may be contextual factors in how the brain generates movement.

Parkinson’s greatly impacts volitional movement because of how it affects the frontal and striatal pathways, but there’s a fair amount of motor activity that relies less on these systems.

That’s where reactionary movement comes into play, which in some Parkinsons’s patients still works relatively well.

This is the most important lesson I learned while taking care of patients with POTS/Dysautonomia

Working within the patients metabolic capacity is very important for patients with autonomic issues. A patient with autonomic problems tends to have a brain with less tolerance for stimulation.

Exceeding this capacity often comes with crashes and symptom flares that can make patients feel poorly for days.

Finding a Goldilocks amount of therapy can help a patient adapt over time to increase their capacity for stimulation which can build resilience for activity in the real world.

A lot of patients are confused why they don’t get better after going to physical therapy or other in network providers.

The reason is that your insurance dictates everything about your treatment:
-The amount of sessions
-The time per session
-Who is treating you
-What treatments they can do

“Do you take my insurance?” Shouldn’t be the first question you ask when you are seeking help.

Send me a message if you have struggled with poor quality care within the insurance system!

Vertigo is a symptom.

It’s not a full diagnosis.

If you are suffering from chronic dizziness or vertigo, it’s important to understand where your symptoms are actually coming from so you can treat the root cause of the problem.

What can we learn about autonomic symptoms from studying motion sickness?

Symptoms of motion sickness can sometimes look similar to the symptoms people feel when they are having autonomic issues.

The nausea, flushing, blood pressure drops, headaches. Just the general sense of being unwell can be attributed to issues with the sympathetic nervous system.

The idea behind motion sickness involves a theory called sensory mismatch. It means what your brain is expects to happen based on certain senses conflicts with what is happening in reality.

This is an area where the brain can be retrained to habituate excessive stimulation or develop a more accurate prediction by improving our movement and sensory systems.

For my 43rd trip around the sun, I thought about how much has changed in the last 16 years since I started practice.

I keep a portrait of Yoda in our office because I hope that as I get older, I’ll be a little wiser in the care of our patients.

Thank you all for your birthday messages. I’m blessed enough where the thought of responding to everyone is a little overwhelming, but know I’m blessed to know you all and have you as friends.

The three most important questions for dizzy patients.

Dizziness can be difficult to diagnose accurately, but with a good vestibular clinician, these 3 questions can narrow down the cause of the dizziness in a major way.
