Q: Do abnormalities on MRI of the lower back correlate with current and future back pain?
A: Hardly at all.

Testosterone, oestrogen and progesterone all act differently on the hypothalamus, resulting in men and women being different in many ways.

The hypothalamus is a sensing organ of emotions that triggers biochemical reactions influencing every aspect of health, yet many professionals overlook this.

Men's nervous systems are more reactive and focused.

Women's nervous systems are more responsive and social.

What this means in relationships:

Research shall reveal that many diagnoses are simply misdiagnoses, pathologising normal physiological processes.

Furthermore, emotional health is neither acknowledged nor understood, leading many professionals to gaslight innocent and vulnerable people by blaming them for physiological processes by labelling them as pathological.

Many autoimmune disorders and genetic conditions stem from emotional trauma and epigenetic factors.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

All humans experience trauma at some point in their life. Which means we can all overcome it, heal from it, and learn to be more resilient because of it.

Emotional health is still one of the most overlooked parts of our wellbeing, even though it’s the biggest determinant of our overall health.

This is exactly why ‘The New Inning’ was born—grounded in research and real human need.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Following your curiosities and interests is therapy. The things you're drawn to are no accident. They're leading you to where you're meant to be in life. Ignoring them creates depression, anxiety, and dysfunctional relationships.

Human physiology can be conceptualized as a microcosmic model of the cosmos, unified under the governing principles of physics — from molecular interactions to planetary motion, all expressions of the same Laws of Physics as fundamental forces!

Social isolation is a significant risk factor for dementia.

Connection is medicine.

If you don’t nurture healthy dopamine, your brain will settle for cheap dopamine instead, so don’t blame dopamine!

Healthcare needs evolution or it will face revolution!

“The ability to think about what is not happening is a cognitive achievement that comes at an emotional cost.”

Hits hard

[Keith Sakata, MD @KeithSakata]

If dopamine = pleasure...

Then why does chocolate still taste good when it’s blocked?

Because dopamine isn’t about liking.
It’s about wanting and learning.

Let’s rewire how we think about the world's most popular neurochemical 🧵

Why do so many brilliant artists also battle their minds?

Autism. Bipolar. Schizophrenia.

What looks like illness… often unlocks genius.
A thread on the strange link between brain disorders and creativity 🧵

Cortisol’s job is to rally your body in a crisis

But when it never shuts off, the system flips:
• Acute = sharper focus & immunity
• Chronic = NF-κB + IL-6 + TNF (neuroimmune burnout)

That’s why stress makes it harder to control emotions, fight worry, or stay sober.

[Nicholas Fabiano, MD @NTFabiano]

Emotional contagion, the unconscious spread of emotions, doesn't just happen in person.

It happens online.
