Founder & Neurologist
Myrna Cardiel, MD
Academic depth, clinical experience, and a highly personalized approach to neurological care.
Dr. Cardiel founded Cardiel Precision Brain Health to offer private, physician-led care for adults with migraine, memory and cognitive concerns, and neurological symptoms that intersect with hormonal, metabolic, sleep, and lifestyle factors.
Her practice also offers dedicated Brain Longevity & Healthy Aging and GLP-1 & Neurometabolic Care, bringing proactive brain-health planning and obesity-medicine care into the same individualized clinical perspective.
- 20+ Years Clinical Experience
- NYU Langone Nearly Two Decades on the Faculty
- Walter Reed Neurology Residency Training

The Cardiel Precision Brain Health Difference
A neurologist with a broader clinical perspective
Dr. Myrna Cardiel is a board-certified neurologist with more than 20 years of clinical experience, including nearly two decades on the faculty at NYU Langone Health.
Her additional credentials in Lifestyle Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and menopause care allow brain health to be considered in the context of metabolism, cardiovascular risk, physical fitness, hormonal transitions, sleep, medications, and lifestyle—without losing the diagnostic rigor of traditional neurology.
This perspective informs both her GLP-1 & Neurometabolic Care and her approach to Brain Longevity & Healthy Aging. Evaluation, treatment, testing, and follow-up are selected according to the individual—not a predetermined protocol.
- Neurology-Led
- Science-Driven
- Individually Tailored
Experience That Shapes the Care
Academic rigor. Military discipline. Human perspective.
Academic Neurology & Brain Health
Nearly two decades on the faculty at NYU Langone Health
At NYU Langone Health, Dr. Cardiel served as Clinical Professor of Neurology. Her work included initiatives focused on memory, cognitive function, and long-term brain health.
That experience reinforced her commitment to careful diagnostic reasoning and to understanding brain health across time, rather than viewing each visit or test result in isolation.
Military Service & Personal Philosophy
Nearly a decade of service in the United States Army
Dr. Cardiel completed her neurology residency at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Her military experience emphasized discipline, resilience, teamwork, and physical readiness.
Those values continue to inform her attention to movement, metabolic health, and long-term neurological well-being, with recommendations adapted to each person's abilities, circumstances, and goals.
Credentials & Clinical Expertise
Expertise across traditionally separate areas
These credentials and experiences support a neurological perspective that also considers metabolic health, hormonal transitions, physical function, and the practical work of sustaining health over time.
- Board-Certified in Neurology
- Board-Certified in Clinical Neurophysiology (EMG)
- Board-Certified in Lifestyle Medicine
- Diplomate, American Board of Obesity Medicine
- Menopause Society Certified Practitioner
- Former Clinical Professor of Neurology, NYU Langone
- Neurology residency training at Walter Reed Army Medical Center
- U.S. Army veteran
Her Clinical Neurophysiology board certification reflects additional expertise in electromyography (EMG) and electrodiagnostic evaluation.
Clinical Focus
Specialized care for symptoms, metabolic health, and healthy aging
The same neurological foundation informs each area of care. The dedicated service pages explain the evaluation and follow-up options in greater detail.
Headache Medicine
Migraine & Headache Care
Individualized care for episodic or chronic migraine, changing headache patterns, hormonally influenced migraine, facial pain, and headaches associated with neck pain or major life transitions.
Evaluation and treatment consider the headache pattern alongside other clinically relevant contributors.
Cognitive Neurology
Memory, Brain Fog & Cognitive Evaluation
Neurological evaluation of memory changes, brain fog, cognitive fatigue, attention difficulties, and changes in mental performance.
Care considers daily function, potentially reversible contributors, and selected testing when it can clarify the clinical question.
Preventive Neurology
Brain Longevity & Healthy Aging
Proactive, neurologist-led care for adults seeking a thoughtful plan for cognitive and functional health over time. Relevant vascular, metabolic, sleep, physical, hormonal, medication, and lifestyle factors may be considered.
Care may begin with a comprehensive consultation and continue through a longitudinal plan when useful. New or progressive cognitive symptoms should begin with diagnostic evaluation.
Obesity Medicine & Metabolic Brain Health
GLP-1 & Neurometabolic Care
As a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, Dr. Cardiel offers individualized evaluation for adults already using a GLP-1 medication or considering treatment.
Care may address medication strategy, tolerability, nutrition, body composition, strength, metabolic health, sleep, and maintenance. Neurological symptoms and hormonal transitions are considered when relevant. Prescribing and testing follow an individualized medical evaluation.
These are individualized areas of medical care—not a mandatory testing package or a predetermined hormone, medication, or supplement protocol.
Cardiel Precision Brain Health
Care built around the person, not only the symptom
Whether you are seeking help with migraine or cognitive symptoms, guidance with GLP-1 treatment, or a proactive brain-health plan, a consultation request is the starting point for discussing whether Dr. Cardiel's care is appropriate for your needs.
Consultation requests are reviewed individually for clinical fit and availability. Submitting a request does not confirm an appointment or establish a physician-patient relationship. Evaluation, testing, treatment, and follow-up are individualized. Cardiel Precision Brain Health is a fee-for-service private practice and is not affiliated with NYU Langone Health.
