Dr. Julie Brown, your Carrick-trained, concussion doctor, board-certified, chiropractic neurologist and fellow in traumatic brain injury and rehabilitation. Today, I want to talk about the word preventative. I feel like it's not used appropriately. We do scans, we do mammograms, we do blood tests, I do exams here, and they're not preventative. If you have an illness or a disease or an injury, it's already happened and I can't prevent it from happening at that point. Nobody can. But what those scans can do is say, "Hey, you have this level of dysfunction and it could get worse if you don't do anything," and from there, you can make changes to possibly either keep it there or maybe heal it.
It depends on what it is. But preventive medicine or prevention is not letting it get to that at all, not letting your blood sugar creep up. Cholesterol though, cholesterol is less of an issue. Not letting your vitamin D get low. Not letting yourself have difficulty sleep. It's lifestyle changes. It's what you eat. It's the people you hang out with. It's how you were raised. It's the environmental factors that you're raised with not only with parents or family, but with, like a nuclear plant. I did grow up near one. But preventive means that it's not going to happen. You're going to prevent all of that so that scans are never positive.
Scans are not preventive. Just had to share that. If you'd like to follow me or know more, the link's below to my website, or you can click on the link here to follow my KZitem. Thanks.
