Today I chat with Board-certified neurosurgeon, Dr. Sheri Dewan, who was inspired to become a doctor after her mother was rushed to the hospital with a ruptured brain aneurysm. Dr. Dewan is one of just 219 female neurosurgeons in the United States (there are just less than 4,000 neurosurgeons nationally, in total) and is passionate about encouraging more female doctors to consider her profession. She specializes in pituitary tumors, gamma knife radiosurgery and minimally invasive degenerative spine disorders and Dr Sheri  is a passionate advocate for women's brain health and how the food we eat impacts our brain health. In today’s episode we talk about  the flexibility of healthcare systems to respond to the unveiling  crisis. We talk about how Dr Sheri’s regular job has changed and what she’s now expected to do. In light of the situation, we talk about some distressing facts regarding the fatality of healthcare workers that some listeners may find difficult to hear. Caution is advised. Considering Dr Sheri’s expertise in degenerative back issues, she gives some tips for how to prevent and manage back pain with exercises and food. We end with a positive note on what  good can come of this current situation and how to deal with the anxiety of the unknown.
