In this episode, Dr Shauna is joined by Associate Professor, Denis Crimmins - a neurologist with over 30 years of experience working on the Central Coast.
Dr Shauna and Denis discuss the difference between headaches and migraines, what causes them and how you can reduce the impact using treatments like Botox.
They also take a deep dive into the brain - from memory issues and brain fog caused by hormones, to dementia, Alzheimer’s and carpel tunnel.
