A 70-year-old client fills in an online intake form, saying she has myasthenia gravis, hypertension, and hypothyroidism. She only takes Synthroid, and says her hypothyroidism and hypertension are well controlled. She has low back pain and muscle soreness. At first glance, this seems fairly simple. MG does not appear to be a major factor for her, because she is not controlling it with medication. But a closer look reveals some possible tangles between MG, hypothyroidism, and some cautions about hypertension drugs.

Chasing the ‘perfect’ diet is a trap; which is really great news for our brand. Simon Hill, nutritionist, physiotherapist, and host of The Proof podcast, joins us in the Academy of Imperfection to break down whether the latest dietary trends on social media actually match up with nutrition science. In this episode, Simon unpacks the role of both genetics and lifestyle choices in shaping our health, and specifically our risk of disease. Acknowledging the pressure, and sometimes shame, that comes with chasing the ‘perfect’ diet, Hugh, Ryan, and Josh discuss how to encourage kids to build positive relationships with food, and the incredible significance of ‘joy’ and ‘human connection’, that occurs when we get together to eat. And then, of course, we play Simon Says and bust some food-myths about supplements, plant protein, and whether breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Simon, thank you for all that you says.

Send us a textCan you provide feedback on my podcast (what you like?  what you want more of?  length?  Please answer a few questions here.  Can a simple habit like flossing really reduce your risk of stroke? In this episode, Dr. Bobby unpacks the headlines sparked by a recent presentation at the American Stroke Association's International Conference that claimed regular flossing could reduce stroke risk by 20–50%. Dr. Bobby begins with a refresher on the importance of stroke prevention. From there, he explores the biological plausibility of a connection between oral health and cardiovascular events. While Americans are fairly diligent about brushing (with 90% brushing once daily and 60% brushing twice a day per YouGov data), flossing habits lag significantly (NIH Oral Health Study—highlighting a clear opportunity if the flossing-stroke link is real.Dr. Bobby dives into the study behind the headlines, a new analysis from the long-running Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, which tracked over 6,000 individuals for 25 years. The preliminary finding: regular flossers had significantly lower risk of ischemic and cardioembolic strokes (Study Abstract). Surprisingly, brushing and dental visits showed no significant benefit in this analysis.So why isn't this flossing-stroke connection headline a "five-alarm fire" in medicine? Dr. Bobby explains the limitations: the results were shared via a conference abstract, not a peer-reviewed journal article. Without full access to the data or understanding how many other hypotheses were tested from this large dataset (which has already generated over 2,300 publications), we risk falling into the trap of correlation being mistaken for causation.To further evaluate the credibility of this association, Dr. Bobby introduces the Bradford Hill criteria—nine principles to assess causality in observational studies. While the biological plausibility is strong and the effect size notable, the study fails on criteria like replication, dose-response, and publication rigor (Bradford Hill Overview).In closing, Dr. Bobby affirms the benefits of flossing—not necessarily for stroke prevention, but for better oral health, which is valuable in its own right. He shares his personal oral care routine, including flossing nightly and using a water jet, while reminding listeners to stay evidence-informed in their health decisions.Takeaways Flossing likely improves oral health, but its role in stroke prevention remains unproven. Be cautious with headlines drawn from unpublished conference abstracts—they're a starting point for inquiry, not a reason to change behavior just yet."How to Live Long and Well" at DrBobbyLiveLongAndWell.com.

Stronger After Stroke: Driven to Thrive: Tackling Transportation After Stroke In this empowering episode of “Stronger After Stroke,” host Rosa Hart is joined by social worker Caitlin Zoeller, MSW, LCSW, for an honest conversation about one of the biggest hurdles stroke survivors face: transportation. From the emotional impact of losing the ability to drive to the everyday logistics of getting to appointments or simply staying social, transportation challenges can deeply affect independence and quality of life. Together, Rosa and Caitlin unpack the grief many survivors experience, share real-world solutions such as assistive technology and shine a light on local programs that can help. They also talk about the essential role caregivers play and why health care providers must stay informed about resources to better serve their patients. This episode is a must-listen for survivors, caregivers and health care professionals alike — because rebuilding life after stroke means more than just rehab. It means staying mobile, connected and seen. Key takeaways Losing the ability to drive often triggers a grief process for stroke survivors. Many survivors feel reluctant to ask loved ones for rides, fearing they're a burden. Public transportation isn't always accessible or safe for those with mobility challenges. Tools such as GoGoGrandparent offer tech-enabled solutions for nondrivers. Insurance coverage for transportation varies — ask questions and explore options. Caregivers are crucial in managing transportation logistics and emotional support. Community-based programs can fill the gap with rides to medical appointments and more. Health care professionals should educate themselves on transportation resources. Advocacy is essential — raising your voice can spark real change. Staying connected through tech can reduce isolation and foster independence. Want more inspiring stories and real-life resources?

There are more people alive and living for longer - but with that comes more people experiencing failing health. While some of this is inevitable, some can be reversible through rehabilitation.The WHO says 2.6 billion people could benefit from rehabilitation services but in low and middle income countries fewer than half receive these services. We've found three projects which help promote independence and a better quality of life.We hear how training doctors and nurses in basic rehabilitation skills is changing lives and communities in rural areas in countries as diverse as Uganda, China and Fiji.We find out about the bracelets which look set to reverse some effects of Stroke and open the door to recovery.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog I am not sure if you play THE “WHAT'S THE DISEASE THAT I DON'T WANT TO HAVE GAME with yourself, but since I am a doctor I have spent a lot of time thinking about what diseases I do not want! I started my list in medical school when I witnessed what certain diseases can do to your life.  Medicine has many cures and treatments, yet some diseases that are treated still can negatively change your life forever. Even though losing a limb and amputation were at the top of my list there is one disease that tops my list.  Of course, I also have under stroke the usual scary situations like paralysis, or having an incapacitating heart attack that prevents an individual from taking care of himself or herself. However, my most feared diagnosis is having a STROKE! You may not fully comprehend how a stroke can change your life, but it can affect your speech, your ability to move, to think, to go places, to have a sense of humor, to write and communicate, even to have a sexual relationship with your loved one. A stroke essentially can take away your ability to be the person you have always been, AND it requires that someone must become your caretaker.  That helplessness is something I am most afraid of….We all have our personal fears, but whether you fear having a stroke or not, you should  try your hardest to avoid having one! DEFINITION: a stoke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is  blocked or a blood vessel bursts. This can damage or kill parts of the brain, which can lead to long-term disability, brain damage, or even death.  This can cause s a loss of function, physical, mental, and  emotional, and loss of one or more of the senses like sensation, speech, sight, hearing and  taste and smell! In my practice at BioBalance Health we always work with our patients to prevent them having a stroke and or heart attack. These two conditions are the biggest villains that steal the joy of our “golden years” from us.  From the start of my BioBalance Health practice, I have incorporated  healthy diet training, exercise options and encouragement, how and what to take to supplement my patients' diet and how to outsmart their genetic makeup so they can be healthier than their parents. All of these lifestyle changes can decrease the risk of stroke and heart attack in a person. So what is it like to have a stroke? First let's go over what symptoms are typical of someone having a stroke. The symptoms of a stroke are multiple, and a person might not have all of them. Weakness on one side of the body Facial drooping on one side of the face Dizziness Numbness Loss of balance Sudden loss of vision. Trouble making sense when speaking Trouble talking, reading or understanding Sudden nausea and vomiting Brief loss of consciousness such as fainting, seizures, confusion, or coma. When someone has one or more of these symptoms it is an emergency, and you should call 911, then start asking the patient to open their eyes, smile, raise both arms and hold them up. Ask them to talk to see if their speech is impaired. Your findings will be helpful to the EMTs who come to the scene. An event is called a stroke, when there is a deficit in physical or mental function and that deficit continues and doesn't go away.  If it the symptoms completely resolve, it is called a TIA- a transient Ischemic attack. It is a warning to see a doctor and make sure you don't have a stroke in the future and it is a wakeup call to stop all poor lifestyle choices.   PREVENTING A STROKE: This last month, the American Heart and Stroke prevention Association released new Guidelines on how to prevent a stroke.  I think talking about the risk factors for stroke and discussing how to prevent having one, is worthy of discussion. Recently the medical guidelines for stroke prevention have been revised, and even though I think a few more things should have been included, the fact that they made the first change in the guidelines in 10 years is a first step. Here is what they advise all people who are aging should do.   #1 See your internal medicine or Family physician regularly, at least yearly #2. Stop sedentary behavior—walk/exercise/ do Yoga, just get out of the chair for the majority of your day! #3. If you are diabetic, they advocate going on Ozempic/Mounjaro to lose weight—that will lower your risk of a stroke, and heart attack.. #4 If you are hypertensive, take your BP medicine every day #5 Follow these lifestyle changes called Life's Essential 8: Your behavior and lifestyle put you at risk for having a stroke:    Healthy diet, low carb Mediterranean diet, no junk food!  Physical activity every day  Achieve a healthy weight,  Make sure your sleep is restful  Stop use of tobacco products, No smoking or vaping  Achieve healthy levels of blood glucose, and blood pressure.  Don't drink more than one 4 oz glass of wine a day  I add these recommendations to theirs for the care of my patients:   Drink ½ your weight in water every day Wat at least half your weight in grams of protein a day Get a Cardiac calcium scan to see if you have arterial plaque. If you do have plaque (arteriosclerosis) then you are at risk for stroke as well. See a cardiologist to be treated preventatively and tested. Option other than a cardiac calcium scan, get a carotid ultrasound to make sure you don't have plaque in the neck vessels that lead to your brain.. Make sure your Homocysteine level is normal (

One moment they were in their apartment building. The next they were under it. Ninety people were trapped when a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar suddenly leveled their building.Fifty Myanmar children went to preschool that day. At least a dozen died there in the sudden collapse of their school. One doctor in Mandalay said: "Wherever I looked, I saw collapsed buildings. Only dust." It's a tragedy that's almost incomprehensible. Especially when some scientists are estimating the death toll could even go to 10,000. Not numbers. Somebody's son or daughter. Husband or wife. Mom or dad. In spite of the ferocity of the quake, many did not have to die. As one expert explained, building codes in this quake-prone area "fail to fully consider earthquake resistance measures." In other words, unlike places like Japan, structures are not built to withstand the shock of a major quake. It's not just buildings with that kind of vulnerability. It's people. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "What the Quake Can't Take." Cancer. Stroke. Heart attack. The death of a child. Or, like me, the death of the love of your life. It's just been a litany of loss lately among friends and acquaintances. Bad news from the doctor. Financial collapse. A devastating fire or storm. The collapse of a marriage. Mental health and anxiety issues are off the charts. It's like we're all living in a quake prone zone. The question is not, "Will there be a lifequake?" The question is, "Is what I'm building my life on strong enough to withstand the trauma that shakes everything in my world?" So many things we live for... we depend on... our "go to's" fail us when the quake hits. We look around and there's "only dust." What is there that the quake can't take? That's something the Biblical psalmist addresses when he wrote these words in our word for today from the Word of God in Psalm 46: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with surging... Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall". He's saying here that literally, everything is collapsing. But listen... "The Lord Almighty is with us." A ship in a storm can be tossed around violently. But the anchor holds. Mine did nine years ago next month. It shook my world like nothing else ever could. The Great Quake - death - suddenly took my Karen, the love of my life since I was 19. But there's something it couldn't take. My personal relationship with the only Person who ever beat death. The one man who walked out of His grave under His own power. Jesus. The Christ. The Son of God. Yes, the one who promised to love me "til death do us part" kept her promise. But death did us part. But, in the words of Scripture, "Nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39). It's the love we saw poured out for our sins on the day we call Good Friday. A love that didn't turn its back then. A love that never will. Millions of people for two thousand years have anchored their life to this Jesus, and found that "we have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19). It seems appropriate that on that morning we call Easter the Bible says, "there was a violent earthquake" at the tomb of Jesus. For that is the day He walked out of that grave to conquer the Great Quake of death. Listen, if you want to be sure you belong to Him in an uncertain world, our website is there to help you begin a relationship with Him. Would you go there today? It's ANewStory.com. Someday I will face the Great Quake. But not alone. For, as the Bible says, "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For YOU are with me!" (Psalm 23:4)

When treating patients having an MI or stroke, more minutes equals more dead cells. Because the majority of strokes are the ischemic type, the treatment for stroke is similar to an MI – to reestablish perfusion to the ischemic tissues. The first four steps in the Stroke Chain of Survival. Time criteria for the administration of tPA (or a similar fibrinolytic medication) or EVT of LVO strokes. Stroke benchmarks for door to: assessment;completing a non-contrast CT; andadministration of fibrinolytic medication such as tPA (door-to-needle).EMS interaction with stroke teams and destination protocols to reduce time to definitive care. The difference for timed goals for the identification & treatment of AMI vs Stroke.

Chime In, Send Us a Text Message!Episode 81: Managing PFO after Stroke: A discussion on diagnosis, treatment options including the patient perspectives and quality of life decisions with David Thaler,MD of Tufts Medical Center.This conversation in collaboration with the SAYA Consortium explores the relationship between patent foramen ovale (PFO) and stroke, particularly in young adults. Our expert guest, Dr. David Thaler, a vascular neurologist with Tufts Medical Center, discusses the definition of PFO, its diagnosis, and its implications for stroke risk. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding cryptogenic strokes, which often have no identifiable cause, the PFO paradox and how a PFO is often discovered with cryptogenic strokes, the diagnostic tests and the management options available for patients with PFO. The conversation emphasizes the need for patient education and awareness regarding stroke risks and prevention strategies. In this conversation, Dr. Thaler discusses the implications of PFO closure in recurrent stroke prevention, medical management and the importance of patient choice and quality of life, plus the outcomes of the RESPECT Trial. Co-host David Dansereau shares his patient experience as a stroke survivor with PFO who elected for device closure.  The dialogue highlights the evolving landscape of PFO research and the significance of understanding individual patient risks and lifestyle choices.More About Our Guest: David Thaler,MD-Tufts Medical CenterShow mentions:  Lester Leung,MD,  Katelyn Skeels, SAYA Consortium, RESPECT Trial , Co-Host David's Book ClosureThanks to: Rory Polera (guest on Ep.69), stroke survivor and interview outline reviewer with SAYA ConsortiumAdditional Education: Support Our Show!

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul. Today I'm going to share with you one of my most popular pieces on Medium. If you don't know what Medium is, it's a place where writers can get their short pieces published, either by themselves, or in someone else's publication. I started getting published on Medium in April, mostly in two publications which feature interesting stories and great writing. This story appeared in a publication called Crow's Feet, and it's called “How I Knew My Mother Was Having a Stroke.” It's a useful reminder of how to react if you think you might be witnessing someone having a stroke. Because, as the subtitle of my story says, Every minute counts when the brain is erasing itself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Most people believe that strokes only affect adults, but children can experience them too. Although rare, strokes in kids can lead to catastrophic outcomes if not treated properly. Seizure or migraines are often misdiagnosed in this population, making it crucial to have proper protocols in place. While many never think of stroke as something that can impact kids, it's still in the top 10 causes of death in children.  To understand the scope of pediatric stroke and the strides being made to prevent and treat it, we are joined by two experts. Timothy Bernard, MD, is the Director of Education for the section of Child Neurology, and the Director of the Childhood Stroke Program here at Children's Hospital Colorado. He is also a Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Ethan Rosenberg, MD, is the Director of Inpatient Childhood Stroke and Neurocritical Care. He is also an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology.  Some highlights from this episode include:  Understanding diagnosis in this population  What causes stroke in kids  Why there are delays in recognizing stroke symptoms in younger children  The role of the primary care provider with stroke protocol   For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.
