Your brain health matters at every age! On this episode of Happier Healthier with Conway Medical Center , we sit down with Dr. Sandoz, a CMC neurologist for a deep dive into neurological health, covering what you need to know and what you can do to protect your brain for years to come. In this episode, we cover: Seizures and epilepsy: what they are, how treatment has evolved, and what to do (and NOT do) if someone has a seizure in front of you Parkinson's disease and movement disorders: early warning signs, treatment options, and how exercise programs like boxing classes and "Proud and Loud" can make a real difference Nerve pain and neuropathy: common causes (including diabetes, the #1 cause in the U.S.) and the wide range of treatments available The six pillars of brain health: diet, exercise, social interaction, sleep, stress management, and controlling medical conditions Local resources: the neurological services available right here at CMC, from our neurology clinic to 24/7 stroke care, rehabilitation, and community programs The most important takeaway? Prevention. It's never too late to start, and the more you work at it, the better you'll do.
