"Personal experience always reframes health with a new lens, but when it comes to anything "neuro," it's become more than that for me. The more I learned about brain health, the more I realised how integral our brain is to every single aspect of our inner and outer lives. From emotional health to gut health and creativity, productivity, and happiness, my jaw was on the ground when I realised that caring for our brains was at the core of improving our lives."
"At the World Economic Forum in Davos, an international nonmedical spotlight shone on brain health. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a global shift in the way we talk about brain health. Somewhere between long COVID impacting more than just respiratory health and the silent epidemic of mental illness that has overwhelmed our health services, a space has appeared for brain health to enter the chat. More than one in three people are affected by neurological conditions worldwide."
A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2014 prompted a complete change in attitude toward brain science. Personal experience reframes health and led to recognition of the brain's integral role in emotional, gut, creative, productive, and happiness-related aspects of life. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the global conversation about brain health has shifted, driven by long COVID's multi-system impact and a growing mental health crisis burdening services. International forums such as the World Economic Forum in Davos have spotlighted brain health beyond medical communities. Neurological conditions affect more than one in three people worldwide, creating space for brain health to gain public and policy attention.
