🔹 Your brain constantly “draws” reality.
Your brain doesn’t simply receive an image from your eyes — it constantly predicts, fills in gaps, and constructs what you experience as reality.

🔹 Your brain itself can’t feel pain.
Brain tissue itself has no pain receptors. The pain you feel comes from the membranes, blood vessels, muscles, and other tissues surrounding the brain.

🔹 Your brain actively weakens or removes some memories while you sleep.
During sleep, the brain strengthens important memories while weakening some unnecessary information. Forgetting is a healthy feature of memory, not just a flaw.

🔹 The placebo effect can cause real physical changes.
Expecting a treatment to work can genuinely change pain perception and affect certain physiological processes in the body.

🔹 Your life “flashing before your eyes” may be the brain reacting to extreme threat.
When your life is in danger, the brain’s memory, stress, and survival systems can start working differently. Some people experience an extremely vivid “life review.” One hypothesis is that this may be connected to ancient survival mechanisms, but it has not been proven that the brain literally scans your entire life looking for a way to survive.

Which one surprised you the most?

Weigh in!
Our neighborhood HOA says we have too many deer and wants to reduce the population by 90%, on the basis that they (apparently) hit cars, and carry ticks and other parasites which carry diseases. Separately, I have been receiving requests to hunt the deer on my property up north. I’m inclined to say save the deer, in both cases. They are beautiful and peaceful animals. What do you think? Should the deer population be culled?

Most serious neurological problems do not begin in the operating room — they begin much earlier, with everyday choices, ignored warning signs, delayed checkups, or preventable injuries.

In neurosurgery, we often see the consequences when the opportunity to act earlier has already been missed. That is why protecting neurological health is less about fear and more about awareness, prevention, and knowing when not to wait.

Your nervous system is remarkably resilient, but recovery has limits. The earlier a problem is recognized, the more options we usually have — and the better the chance of preserving function and quality of life.

Which health risk do you think people underestimate the most until it is too late?

You don’t normally see me walking around my office carrying bushels of corn but today was an exception. A patient brought us fresh corn from his farm in Northern Michigan as a “thank you” for my team’s hard work to obtain insurance approval for treatment for his (extremely painful) compression fracture.

I am so grateful for the corn, but even more grateful for the appreciation he showed to my staff, who worked tirelessly to help him.

We will all be enjoying delicious, fresh Michigan corn tonight and we cannot wait.

When we think about menopause, the conversation usually centers around hot flashes, sleep changes, mood swings, or bone health.

But one part is often overlooked: what menopause can mean for the brain.

Estrogen does much more than regulate the reproductive system. It also plays an important role in protecting the brain.

It supports healthy blood flow, helps keep inflammation under control, and contributes to the way brain cells respond to stress.

As estrogen levels decline, some of that protection may decrease too.

That’s one reason menopause and the years after it can be associated with changes such as:

⚠️ Higher vascular and stroke risk
⚠️ Memory and concentration changes
⚠️ Greater vulnerability to cognitive decline

This doesn’t mean these problems are inevitable.

But it does mean brain health deserves just as much attention as bone, heart, and hormonal health during this stage of life.

What I encourage women to focus on:

✅ Keep blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar in a healthy range
✅ Stay physically active and continue challenging your brain
✅ Protect your sleep and recovery
✅ Discuss hormonal symptoms, cardiovascular risk, and cognitive changes with your doctor

Taking care of your brain health during menopause can make a real difference in the years ahead.

Did anyone ever tell you that menopause could affect your brain this way?

Travel always reminds me how adaptable our bodies really are. ✈️🩺

Different foods, more walking, less sleep, later dinners, changing weather — your routine shifts, and your body notices.

A few things I personally keep in mind:

💧 Hydration matters more than we think, especially on long sightseeing days.

🚶‍♀️ Walking after meals is an easy way to support digestion and blood sugar.

😴 Sleep can make a bigger difference than squeezing in one more activity.

🍨 And yes, dessert belongs on vacation. One meal doesn’t define your health — your overall habits do.

As a doctor, I’m much more interested in consistency than perfection.

What usually throws you off the most when you travel — food, sleep, or your routine? 👇

Surgery can be intense.

And then somehow, an hour later, you’re sitting down for dinner with your family as if your brain did not just experience an entire emotional roller coaster.
