How often do you think about your brain's health? 🤔

Just like any other part of your body, your brain thrives on attention, good nutrition, and activity.

Creating a supportive daily routine doesn't have to be complicated!

What are the early signs of Parkinson's disease? It's not always the noticeable tremor.

Keep an eye out for more subtle changes, like:

🔹 A smaller, more cramped handwriting
🔹 Loss of smell
🔹 A softer or lower voice
🔹 "Masking," or a more serious look on your face

If you notice these, it's worth a conversation with a specialist.

What does "Relapsing-Remitting" MS (RRMS) mean? This is the most common type of MS.

It means you may experience "relapses" (flare-ups or new symptoms) followed by "remissions" (periods of recovery during which symptoms may lessen or disappear).

The goal of treatment is often to lengthen the time between relapses.

"Stress is inflammation. Stress is pressure on your immune system."

We are reading this vulnerable and powerful essay by Matt Cavallo about the year that nearly broke him—and how a "perfect storm" of life stressors triggered an MS relapse.

At ANI, we believe in a whole-person approach because we know that what happens outside the doctor's office—job loss, family changes, financial pressure—directly affects your neurological health.

If you are feeling the weight of stress right now, please know that you are not alone, and your team is here to support you.

We don’t always talk about stress like the serious medical threat it is.

In his exclusive article, Matt Cavallo discusses how a year that checked nearly every box on the list of life’s biggest stressors almost broke him.

Think of the myelin sheath like the plastic insulation on an electrical wire. It helps nerve signals travel quickly and efficiently.

In MS, the immune system mistakenly damages this myelin, disrupting those signals.

Let's talk about Epilepsy myths.

One of the most common? That you must always put something in someone's mouth during a seizure. NEVER do this! 🛑 It can cause serious injury.

The correct action is to simply turn the person gently onto their side to keep their airway clear and time the seizure. Knowing the facts saves lives.

The future of Parkinson's Disease (PD) treatment is exciting!

Research is moving beyond simply managing symptoms toward truly modifying the disease.

Breakthroughs like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and targeted drug delivery systems are giving patients more control and a higher quality of life than ever before.

We are committed to bringing you the latest in care.

Myth vs. Fact: MS is always debilitating and leads to total paralysis.
❌ This simply isn't true!

Thanks to advancements in treatment, many people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) live active, fulfilling lives with minimal disability.

Early diagnosis and starting a disease-modifying therapy (DMT) make a huge difference in managing symptoms and slowing progression. There is so much hope! ✨

Did you know your sleep schedule can be a powerful tool for Alzheimer's prevention?

😴 Quality sleep is when the brain clears out harmful proteins, like amyloid plaques. Prioritize 7-9 hours of consistent, restorative sleep nightly.

It's one thing you can do for long-term brain health! 💡

Alzheimer's isn't just about age. It's complex, and genetics play a significant role.

If you have a strong family history of Alzheimer's, discussing genetic testing with your neurologist can empower you to proactively manage your health through lifestyle and preventative strategies.

Information is power. 🧬
