#255 - Memory, Movement, and Healing

What if your body's natural healing abilities could repair injuries without surgery? That's the question Dr. Fawad Mian found himself asking after conventional treatments failed his own injuries.

When Dr. Mian injured his shoulder, doctors immediately suggested surgery, telling him "hopefully we can get a surgery out of you." For his plantar fasciitis, steroid injections provided temporary relief but actually worsened his condition. These experiences led him to discover regenerative medicine techniques that harness the body's inherent healing capacities—treatments that ultimately repaired his own injuries and changed the trajectory of his medical practice.

In our wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Mian reveals surprisingly simple strategies to protect your memory and cognitive function as you age. Sleep quality emerges as a critical factor—with the fascinating observation that during extended blackouts after Superstorm Sandy, chronic insomnia patients were suddenly falling asleep naturally by 8pm once electronic devices were unavailable. Dr. Mian recommends eliminating screens at least one hour (ideally two) before bedtime to reset your natural sleep rhythms.

We explore how exercise directly benefits brain health by increasing blood flow and enhancing gray matter volume. Rather than extreme workouts, consistency proves most important—with Dr. Mian suggesting 4-5 weekly sessions combining strength training and cardio for optimal results. For those struggling to incorporate movement, even simple solutions like an inexpensive walking treadmill placed in front of your television can accumulate beneficial activity.

Dr. Mian explains regenerative treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which concentrates healing factors from your own blood and delivers them precisely where needed. Unlike treatments from umbilical cord or other external sources (which Dr. Mian cautions against), these autologous approaches harness your body's natural repair mechanisms without introducing foreign materials.

Beyond physical health, we discuss Dr. Mian's approach to maintaining positive mental health through gratitude practices and visualization techniques. His perspectives on spirituality, relationships, and community service reveal a holistic approach to wellbeing that complements his regenerative medicine philosophy.
