Sitting too long and straining can drop blood flow to the brain and cause fainting. I have seen this lead to serious head injuries and brain bleeds. Gravity blood pooling, reflex syncope and pressure changes all stack the odds against you. Do your business and get up. #neurology #brainhealth #learnontiktok #toilethabits #TikTokLearningCampaign

Strength training is not just for muscles. As a neurologist, I explain how resistance training supports brain structure, memory, balance, and long-term cognitive resilience. Cardio helps, but lifting weights activates different brain-protective pathways. #BrainHealth #StrengthTraining #Neuroscience #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign

CIDP is often missed because it looks like other nerve disorders. But this is not just numbness or tingling. Progressive or relapsing weakness, especially in the hips and thighs, is a red flag. CIDP is an autoimmune attack on the nerves. And when it is recognized early, treatment can change lives. Not all nerve damage is permanent. Some of it is inflammatory. Some of it may be reversible. #AutoimmuneDisease #Neurology #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign #medicaleducation

When your body responds when you watch someone else do something extreme, your brain is doing exactly what it evolved to do. When you watch extreme risk, your nervous system simulates the experience and prepares your body for survival. This same mechanism explains emotional contagion and how watching others can shape your own behavior over time. So choose wisely what and who you watch. Your nervous system is always learning. #Neuroscience #NervousSystem #ExtremeSports #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign

Chronic pain is not just damaged tissue. It is a nervous system that learned to stay in danger mode. As a neurologist, I explain why chronic pain persists, how central sensitization works, and what actually helps pain improve. #PainScience #Neurology #CentralSensitization #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign

Trauma is not only abuse or war. It is scarcity. Exhaustion. Responsibility too early. Loss that was never processed. Many people stay high functioning, but their nervous system never gets to rest. That is when migraines, brain fog, chronic pain, and fatigue appear. Neuroplasticity explains why the brain adapts to survive. And it also explains why healing is possible. Your brain is not broken. It learned what it had to. And it can learn again. ##Neuroplasticity #NervousSystemHealing #BrainHealth #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign

Grip strength is not about your hands. It reflects how well your brain, nerves, muscles, and blood vessels are working together over time. Brain health and body strength are inseparable. #brainhealth #neurology #TikTokLearningCampaign #LearnOnTikTok #strengthtraining

Mom brain and dad brain are not signs of losing intelligence. As a neurologist, I see how parenthood overloads the brain in the short term but may strengthen cognitive reserve in the long term. Feeling foggy as a parent does not mean your brain is failing. It means it is adapting. #MomBrain #DadBrain #BrainHealth #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign

How you praise a child teaches their brain how to handle challenge failure and stress. Effort focused praise builds resilience adaptability and long term learning. Small words can make a big difference. #BrainHealth #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign #Neuroscience #MentalResilience

Yes, bodies can still move after death. No, it does not mean the person is alive, aware, or in pain. These movements come from spinal reflexes, not the brain. As a neurologist, I explain this so families understand what they are seeing and why it happens. Not everything that moves is life. #LearnOnTikTok #neurology #science #TikTokLearningCampaign #medicaleducation

Your brain is a filter, not a camera. What you expect shapes what you notice, including in health and recovery. This is neuroscience, not wishful thinking. #brainhealth #LearnOnTikTok #neuroscience #TikTokLearningCampaign #mindset

As a neurologist, I see consequences from substance abuse in many young people. Substance use and mental pain do not only affect kids from broken homes. Resilience is built through challenge, not comfort. #BrainHealth #MentalHealth #Parenting #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign

Excessive energy drinks are not harmless. These drinks contain many different chemicals that can stimulate your body and brain, and chronic overstimulation can quietly damage the brain and blood vessels. This doesn’t happen to everyone, but it’s important to know the risks. #Neurology #StrokeAwareness #BrainHealth #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign

If you avoid important tasks by doing smaller ones first, you are not lazy. Your brain is trying to avoid discomfort and protect you from pressure. This happens to almost everyone, and yes, it can be harder for people with ADHD, but procrastination alone does not mean ADHD. #BrainHealth #Neuroscience #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign #adhd

One minute of vigorous exercise can equal over an hour of walking for long term health. A large study now shows that intensity matters far more than we once thought. If you are busy, short breathless bursts of movement may deliver outsized benefits for heart health, diabetes prevention, and longevity. You do not need more time. You need to make the time you have count. #BrainHealth #HeartHealth #ExerciseScience #Longevity #workout
