In this episode, Ahad Daudi interviews Dr. Alfonso Fasano, neurologist and movement disorders specialist at the University of Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital.

From a defining moment witnessing deep brain stimulation in action, Dr. Fasano reflects on what drew him to neurology and what that journey can teach medical students navigating their own career decisions.

They discuss the rapidly evolving field of neuromodulation, its role in treating Parkinson’s disease and other conditions, and how new technologies are changing the way we understand and treat the brain.

Dr. Fasano also shares practical advice on maintaining brain health, highlights the qualities that define strong clinicians, and discusses the shifting role of patient-physician collaboration in modern medicine.
