Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, affecting millions of people worldwide. While pharmacological treatments remain the cornerstone of epilepsy management, lifestyle factors play a significant role in modulating seizure frequency and quality of life for individuals with epilepsy. This expert review synthesizes key findings from seminal studies to explore the impact of various lifestyle factors, including diet, sleep, physical activity, and stress management, on epilepsy management. We also discuss potential mechanisms underlying these effects and highlight limitations in current research.
