In this episode of the Scrubs and Suits Podcast, Dr. Arif Khan sits down with neurologist Dr. Mona for an insightful and wide-ranging conversation about brain health, myths on brain health, and the evolving field of neurology.
Dr. Mona explains the structure and function of the brain in simple terms, debunking popular myths such as the “10% brain usage” and differences between male and female brains. She discusses neuroplasticity, brain regeneration, and how factors like sleep, stress, screen time, and obesity impact brain function.
She explains early signs of neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, and strokes, while also highlighting the importance of recognizing migraines, seizures, and other often misunderstood neurological issues. Dr. Mona sheds light on pediatric neurology, including savant skills in autism and the cognitive development of children.
The discussion dives into lifestyle habits that affect brain health such as meditation, multitasking, diet, and sleep and addresses cultural myths like using a spoon during seizures. Dr. Mona focuses on the need for emotional balance, mental wellness, and the increasing role of psychologists and therapy in modern healthcare.
Dr. Arif wraps up the episode with a rapid-fire round covering brain myths, neurological tips, lifestyle habits, superfoods, and favorite brain facts, offering a perfect blend of science, practical advice, and personal anecdotes.
