Oculomotor Nerve ⚡️

👁️ The oculomotor nerve (Cranial Nerve III) controls most of the muscles responsible for eye movement — helping you look up, down, and inward. It also lifts your eyelid and constricts your pupil to adjust to light.

🧠 It originates in the midbrain, travels through the cavernous sinus, and enters the orbit via the superior orbital fissure — branching out to control multiple eye muscles and the ciliary ganglion for pupil constriction.

⚠️ Damage can lead to drooping eyelids (ptosis), double vision (diplopia), and a dilated pupil that doesn’t respond properly to light. The affected eye may also deviate “down and out” due to unopposed action of other eye muscles.

🤓 Fun fact:
The oculomotor nerve not only helps you move your eyes but also plays a crucial role in the “pupillary light reflex” — that automatic reaction your pupils have when a bright light hits your eyes!

Saturday Swap 🔁✅

🌿 Choose a frozen treat that’s creamy, satisfying, and made without the inflammatory ingredients hiding in most conventional ice creams.

🥑 Made from avocado - a source of healthy fats that support brain, skin, and heart health.

🌱 Dairy-free & plant-based, making it easier on digestion and less inflammatory.

🛡️ Lower in added sugar and free from artificial ingredients 🚫🍬.

✨ Why Quality Matters ✨
High-quality ice cream should be:

✅ Made with real, whole-food ingredients

✅ Free from dairy, soy, and artificial additives

❌ Conventional brands like Ben & Jerry’s often pack in high sugar, processed dairy, and gums that contribute to inflammation

👉 Make the switch today for better health from the inside out!

✨ Circadian Rhythm & Blue Light ✨

Your body runs on a 24-hour internal clock ⏰—the circadian rhythm—which regulates sleep, hormones, metabolism, and even mood.

💡 But here’s the catch: blue light from phones, tablets, and TVs at night tricks your brain into thinking it’s still daytime. This delays melatonin release, making it harder to fall asleep and throwing your rhythm off balance.

🌙 Protect your rhythm:
• Dim lights in the evening
• Limit screen time before bed
• Use blue light filters or glasses

Your sleep quality depends on it. 💤

🌙 Your Body’s Internal Clock ⏰

Ever wonder why you naturally feel sleepy at night and alert during the day? That’s your circadian rhythm at work — your body’s built-in 24-hour clock that regulates sleep, hormone release, digestion, and even body temperature.

😴 When your circadian rhythm is aligned, you fall asleep easier, wake up refreshed, and your body functions more efficiently.

⚡️ But when it’s disrupted — by late-night screen time, shift work, or irregular sleep schedules — it can throw off everything from your energy levels to your metabolism and immune system.

✨ Prioritize consistent sleep-wake times, morning sunlight exposure, and reduced blue light at night to keep your circadian rhythm in sync.

Optic Nerve ⚡️

👀 The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain—turning light into the images we see.

🧠 Signals travel from the retina → through the optic nerve → partially cross at the optic chiasm → then move along the optic tracts to the brain’s visual cortex, where vision is processed.

⚠️ Damage to the optic nerve can cause partial or complete vision loss, blind spots, or visual field defects. Conditions like glaucoma, optic neuritis, and tumors can all affect this nerve.

✨ The optic nerve isn’t technically a “nerve” at all—it’s considered part of the central nervous system, making it more like a brain tract than a peripheral nerve!

Day 1 of the Sleep Challenge starts TODAY! 🥳😴

This isn’t your average “get 8 hours a night” kind of challenge 🥱

It’s about building good habits around your sleep schedule to make a more productive, healthier you!

In today’s fast paced society, with the constant hustle and bustle, sleep is seen as something that just takes time away from everything else we have to get done for the day.

Really that narrative needs to be flipped. Without proper rest, we’re just always running our tank on empty, leading to burnout and poor performance.

Signup for the challenge, and receive weekly articles, community support, guides and journals to hold you accountable.

Let’s do this, together! 💚🧩
