Hacking the Brain: Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) Strategies

In this episode, we explore emerging insights into functional neurological disorder (FND) and the surprising role that physical activity may play in treatment. Drawing on recent research, we unpack how symptoms like fatigue, pain, and dizziness often overlap with conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. We also dive into the science of the autonomic nervous system—and how movement, exercise, and sport could help regulate it, offering new hope for managing FND.Source: Boylan KA, Dworetzky BA, Baslet G, Polich G, Angela O'Neal M, Reinsberger C.
