Chronic migraine is a complex neurological condition that can significantly impact work, relationships, and overall quality of life. Research also shows that many patients face barriers to diagnosis and treatment depending on their background or access to care.

A study called the COMPEL trial recently explored an important question: Do preventive migraine treatments work similarly for people from different racial and ethnic groups?

Our Medical Director, Dr. Deena Kuruvilla, served as a study author in the post-hoc analysis of this phase-4 COMPEL trial and was recently interviewed by NeurologyLive® to discuss the findings.

Today we will discuss what the findings mean for patients.

As winter continues, many people notice changes that are difficult to explain but easy to feel –  lower energy, more frequent headaches, or difficulty focusing.

From a brain health perspective, experiences like these are common during late winter and often reflect how the brain responds to changes in routine, environment, and cumulative demands over time.

We explore this topic further in our latest blog post. Link in bio.

As the year begins, many people feel pressure to reset everything at once.

At Brain Health Institute, we tend to think about brain health a little differently. Rather than dramatic changes, we focus on consistency, awareness, and habits that are sustainable over time.

This year, instead of resolutions, you may consider focusing on one habit, one symptom, and one question about your brain health.

We share more about this approach in our latest blog post (link in bio).

Your brain doesn’t suddenly age later in life.

Changes in brain health can begin much earlier than most people expect — and they don’t always look like memory loss.

In our latest blog post, we share what patients should know about early brain health changes, the role of stress and headaches, and the everyday habits that support long-term brain health.

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful not just for what fills our plates — but for what strengthens our minds.

🦃 Thankfulness is a brain habit.
Research shows that practicing gratitude boosts serotonin, calms the nervous system, and improves memory.

🧠 At the Brain Health Institute, we believe brain health isn’t just science — it’s a daily practice. Today, try a Brain-Boosting Gratitude Ritual:

• Think of 1 person you appreciate
• Recall 1 moment this year that brought joy
• Do 1 healthy act for your brain (walk, hydrate, breathe)

Small actions shape resilient brains.
