Angus & Graham do a road trip to Lancashire to interview Ken Heathcote, often hailed as the “Father of the Fitness Industry” in the UK. Ken revolutionized health and wellness by founding Bolton Health Studio in 1968—the nation's first multi-purpose fitness club. He also co-founded the Fitness Industry Association and developed the first national weight training course. A respected figure in bodybuilding, Heathcote served as a judge for the Mr. Universe and Mr. Britain contests for over 20 years. Perhaps most impressively, at the age of 90, he is now undertaking the “Not Out at 90” charity challenge, swimming 90 lengths in both a pool and open water to raise funds for Stroke Awareness, Cancer Research, and Alzheimer's Research.

May is Stroke Awareness Month. Strokes can happen to anyone at any age. When I had a stroke in 1972 at age 2, that wasn't the case. Back then, strokes happened to people 65 years and older who were unhealthy: obese, smoker, drinker, and rarely exercised.My guest, Lori Vober, is also a stroke survivor. Her hemorrhagic stroke happened when she was twenty-nine years old. Thankfully, people were at the church at that day and got Lori help quickly. Lori shares her story in her book: Choices: When You Are Faced with a Challenge, What Choice Will You Make? When we face challenges that significantly impact our lives, Lori believes we must trust that God has a bigger and better plan.Notable quotes by Lori Vober:·         “We can get stuck in bitter, or we can grow better through our experiences.”·         “I am thankful I have the mindset and perseverance to be able to do all I can do.”·         “Although I can't control my circumstances, I can control my attitude and my faith.”Lori's fight verse is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, which reads, “Rejoice always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” Connect with Lori Vober at https://lorivober.com/On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lori.voberOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lorilonghorn99/ Stroke awareness facts: ·         Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the US and a leading cause of severe disability. ·         The two major types of strokes are hemorrhagic, which occurs when a weakened blood vessel ruptures, and ischemic, which occurs when a clot blocks a blood vessel and cuts off blood flow. ·         Nearly two million brain cells die each minute a stroke is untreated. ·         About 55,000 more women than men have a stroke each year.·         In the US, 1 in 5 women will have a stroke.·         Stroke kills twice as many African Americans as Caucasians.·         80% of strokes are preventable. ·         Know the anacronym FAST: F = droopy face, A = arm or leg numb, S = slurred speech, T = time.  Call 9-1-1 fast!

In this episode, Gina and Don (Don has just come off of a stroke him self) leads us through a deep dive into the world of strokes, exploring the different types—ischemic, hemorrhagic, and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). Strokes don't come in just one form, and understanding the variations can be life-saving. We start by breaking down ischemic strokes, the most common type, which occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery in the brain, cutting off vital oxygen. Next, we'll explore hemorrhagic strokes, caused by bleeding in or around the brain, often linked to high blood pressure or aneurysms. Finally, we'll discuss transient ischemic attacks, or “mini-strokes,” which, while brief, serve as urgent warnings for potentially larger strokes. Join us for an eye-opening look into strokes, from understanding the science to uncovering the resilience needed to face these life-altering moments head-on. #StrokeAwareness #LifeAfterStroke #StrokeRecovery #IschemicStroke #HemorrhagicStroke #TIA #MiniStroke #StrokeSurvive https://www.stroke.org/en/about-stroke/stroke-symptoms

Gibraltar's Coroner's Court will open an inquest touching on the death of Simon Parkes, the sailor who disappeared in Gibraltar on the 12th December 1986. The Minister for Justice, Nigel Feetham, has given his consent. This follows a campaign by GBC Journalist Ros Astengo, with the support of lawyers acting on a pro-bono basis, to help bring justice for his family. Over the course of the morning the MET office issued a weather advisory for heavy rain from ten this morning until one tomorrow night. A separate heavy rain warning may be issued if the total rainfall is expected to be more than 50 millimetres in six hours. We spoke to Principal Meteological Officer, Katy Lowe.The Police Federation says a strong message needs to be sent out to anyone who believes they can use violence against emergency service and care workers with no more than a slap on the wrist. The police union says officers dedicate their lives to protecting the public and all they ask in return is to be protected in return. Chairman of the Police Federation, Calum Bruce, stressed this further in the studio. Jose Mari Ruiz brought us the latest in sports, with both men's and women's football, the Special Olympics in Monaco, and Ironman 70.3 over in Tangier.And, tomorrow is Stroke Awareness Day - there are several symptoms that you can look out for which can make a difference for the patient.

To coincide with National Stroke Awareness Month, on today's episode of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, we are joined by Dr. J Mocco, MD, cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgeon and Senior System Vice Chair in the Department of Neurosurgery at Mount Sinai in New York City. Dr. Mocco discusses what causes a stroke, how to treat one, and the most effective ways of prevention. For someone who does suffer a stroke, it is crucial to act fast and to get them to a hospital that is properly equipped to treat a stroke patient. Dr. Mocco explains why it is necessary to call an ambulance, instead of trying to rush a stroke victim to the hospital yourself. He also talks about the importance of looking out for signs of a possible stroke, which includes arm weakness, facial drooping, and difficulty with speech. He advises that if you or anyone you know experiences any of these symptoms to seek medical help immediately.

To coincide with National Stroke Awareness Month, on today's episode of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, we are joined by Dr. J Mocco, MD, cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgeon and Senior System Vice Chair in the Department of Neurosurgery at Mount Sinai in New York City. Dr. Mocco discusses what causes a stroke, how to treat one, and the most effective ways of prevention. For someone who does suffer a stroke, it is crucial to act fast and to get them to a hospital that is properly equipped to treat a stroke patient. Dr. Mocco explains why it is necessary to call an ambulance, instead of trying to rush a stroke victim to the hospital yourself. He also talks about the importance of looking out for signs of a possible stroke, which includes arm weakness, facial drooping, and difficulty with speech. He advises that if you or anyone you know experiences any of these symptoms to seek medical help immediately.
