Brax Girl Ed 2: Dr. Brain (Dr. Sara Siavoshi)

Healing the Mind, Empowering the Soul

This March, we honor a woman who leads with heart, science, and soul. Meet Dr. Sara Siavoshi, also known as DrBrainSD—a San Diego-based neurologist and our Brax Girl of the Month.

Dr. Siavoshi is redefining what it means to be a healthcare professional. Her mission is clear: to prioritize mental health through personalized, transparent, and compassionate neurological care. As both a scientist and an advocate, she approaches medicine not just by treating the condition—but by seeing the whole person.

Her Instagram presence, @DrBrainSD, offers an intimate glimpse into her journey. She shares stories, tips, and heartfelt reflections that resonate far beyond her clinic walls. One of her most powerful messages? That the path to healing begins with empathy—and that it’s okay to not have all the answers right away.

“Once upon a time, I was a young student who wasn’t sure what she wanted to do with her life… I loved music as much as I loved the human brain. I’m so happy with the choice I’ve made and having the opportunity to now provide compassionate and expert medical care.”

Music and Medicine: Unlocking the Brain’s Full Potential

As a lifelong lover of music, Dr. Siavoshi beautifully bridges her scientific expertise with the therapeutic power of sound. In this month’s feature, she explains how music positively impacts the brain, helping to:

• Improve memory, sound processing, and coordination

• Reduce anxiety and stress

• Boost dopamine for better mood and emotional access

• Preserve brain structure and reduce risk of age-related decline

Her research and real-world application of music therapy prove that healing comes in many forms—and that joy, rhythm, and connection are part of the medicine.

Her Message to Women Everywhere

Dr. Siavoshi is more than her title. She’s a woman who once doubted her path, questioned her worth, and still found the courage to keep going. Her message to

women balancing ambition and self-doubt is simple yet powerful:

"Your ultimate goal doesn’t have to be perfection. It should be healing, growth, and showing up for yourself and others with compassion."

She is living proof that success isn’t linear, and that even those who heal others are always learning, growing, and evolving.
