Your weekend can include a little brain care.

Consider incorporating these healthy habits:
• Spend time outdoors safely
• Stay hydrated
• Get regular physical activity
• Prepare a balanced meal
• Reduce unnecessary screen time
• Connect with family or friends
• Maintain a consistent sleep schedule

Brain health is supported by the choices you make throughout the week—not only when symptoms appear.

Sleep is an important part of brain health. During sleep, the brain supports memory, learning, concentration, emotional regulation, and physical recovery. Poor or inconsistent sleep may contribute to daytime fatigue, headaches, irritability, slowed thinking, and difficulty concentrating.

Support healthier sleep by:
• Keeping a consistent bedtime
• Limiting caffeine later in the day
• Reducing screen use before bed
• Keeping the bedroom cool and comfortable
• Discussing persistent sleep concerns with a neurologist

Dizziness can mean different things to different people. Some patients describe feeling lightheaded, unsteady, off-balance, or as though the room is spinning. Dizziness may be associated with the inner ear, medications, hydration, blood pressure, migraines, neurological conditions, or other medical concerns.

Because there are many possible causes, persistent or recurring dizziness should be properly evaluated.

Seek urgent medical attention when sudden dizziness occurs with weakness, facial drooping, trouble speaking, severe headache, confusion, or difficulty walking.

For non-emergency neurological appointments, call South Miami Neurology at 305-665-6501.

Motivational Monday

You do not have to make every healthy change at once. Choose one manageable goal for the week. Go to bed a little earlier, take a short daily walk, drink an extra glass of water, or write down symptoms you want to discuss with your physician. Consistent progress matters more than perfection.

Lunes de motivación

No tienes que hacer todos los cambios saludables a la vez. Elige una meta alcanzable para la semana: acuéstate un poco más temprano, da un breve paseo diario, bebe un vaso de agua adicional o anota los síntomas que quieras comentar con tu médico. El progreso constante es más importante que la perfección.

Small, healthy choices can make a meaningful difference over time.

Start this week by doing something positive for your brain and body: take a walk, drink more water, prioritize sleep, connect with someone you care about, or schedule a medical appointment you have been postponing.

Your health deserves your attention.

Neurological symptoms are not always visible. Neurodiagnostic testing can provide valuable information about how the brain, nerves, muscles, balance system, and circulation are functioning.

South Miami Neurology offers several types of testing, including:
• EEG
• EMG and nerve conduction studies
• VNG testing
• Sudo testing
• ABI testing

Your neurologist will determine which test may be appropriate based on your symptoms, medical history, and examination. Call 305-665-6501 or visit our website at southmiamineurology.net

Women who used estrogen-only hormone therapy had lower odds of developing dementia and fewer signs of Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study from Stanford Medicine that is drawing fresh attention to a treatment whose use has steadily declined in the United States over the past two decades.

Occasional numbness or tingling may happen after sitting or sleeping in an awkward position. However, symptoms that are persistent, recurring, worsening, or affecting daily activities may require medical evaluation.

Numbness and tingling can be associated with several conditions involving the nerves, spine, brain, or circulation. A neurologist can evaluate the pattern of your symptoms and determine whether additional testing is needed.

Do not ignore symptoms that continue without explanation. Schedule a neurological evaluation with South Miami Neurology at 𝟯𝟬𝟱-𝟲𝟲𝟱-𝟲𝟱𝟬𝟭.

An Apple Watch app can detect virtually all tonic-clonic seizures with about one-tenth the rate of false alarms of previous devices, according to a paper published online in Neurology Open Access in May.

By alerting family members that the patient is having a seizure and may need assistance, the app, called EpiWatch, is expected to reduce the risk of injuries and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
