Could your symptoms be irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?

IBS is a common condition. You don’t have to navigate these symptoms alone. Understanding the signs is the first step toward finding a management plan that works for your lifestyle.

Common signs to look out for:
- Abdominal cramping or pain (often related to bowel movements)
- Frequent bloating or gas
- Changes in bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation, or both)

A doctor can help you better understand your symptoms and create a plan tailored for you.

Parkinson's disease is more than tremors. Here's what most people don't know. 🧠

Nearly 1 million Americans live with Parkinson's disease, but the symptoms that affect daily life most are often the ones you can't see. Depression. Anxiety. Sleep disruption. Cognitive changes. These are Parkinson's disease too.

The good news? Research suggests that physical activity may help ease symptoms by supporting dopamine production — the same pathway the disease affects.

Montefiore Einstein's world-class neurology team supports patients at every stage of Parkinson's disease.
