Physical Activity for Visual Snow

Physical activity is presented in this video as part of the process of building brain resilience in people with Visual Snow Syndrome. It includes both planned exercise, such as gym workouts, walking, yoga, and strength training, and non-exercise activity, such as increasing daily movement. The video explains how physical activity may support sleep quality, circadian rhythm regulation, metabolic health, blood sugar regulation, mood, and brain health, while noting that some people may temporarily notice increased visual symptoms during higher-intensity exercise without evidence of harm.

Because better brain health supports better wellbeing. And better wellbeing creates a ripple effect that benefits individuals, families, communities, and beyond. Making the world a better place for all. I am a practising medical doctor (MD FRCP) working as a Neurologist and Neuro-Ophthalmologist, and am an active neuroscience researcher. My research work is inspired by questions arising from my busy clinical practice. I am grateful that my clinical and research work has been recognised with awards, including the J. Lawton Smith 2025 Award for the most impactful Neuro-Ophthalmology research. I am also an author and speaker, creating public-facing health content in my spare time. I started this journey of creating public-facing content because I realised that if the lifestyle tips I shared with people in my clinic consultations had been implemented before they met me, they could have avoided getting sick or been less severely affected. That is what drives me with this mission: to make a positive impact. I am here to inspire and empower people with science-backed strategies to improve their brain health and well-being, informed by my clinical experience and research. Thank you.
