The Neurology of Sleep, Stress & Lifestyle | Dr. Deepak Aiwale | Candid Confessions — Candid Confessions With Chhavi

What does a neurologist actually treat? And how much can we do to protect our brain and nervous system before disease even begins?

In this episode, we speak to DR. DEEPAK AIWALE, a leading Neurologist and the Founder and Chairman of Solaris Hospital, to take a deeper look at modern neurology — far beyond just headaches and strokes. We discuss how neurologists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and nerves, including stroke, recurrent strokes and autoimmune neurological disorders, and why rehabilitation is such an important part of neurological care.

We also talk about something that often gets overlooked: prevention. How do sleep, screen time, lifestyle and daily habits affect brain health? Why should children be taught about healthy sleep and brain-friendly habits early in life? And what is the role of primordial and primary care in preventing neurological disease before it becomes a serious problem?

If you’ve ever wondered when to see a neurologist, this conversation is for you.
