A stroke doesn't just happen—it's often the result of underlying imbalances that have gone unaddressed for too long. But here's the hopeful truth: both stroke prevention and recovery are possible with the right support. In this episode, Dr. Holly Carling and Alicia explore how to protect and heal the brain by looking at the root causes that contribute to strokes in the first place—like high blood pressure, inflammation, and toxicity. They also discuss how natural approaches, including acupuncture, can be used to treat stroke symptoms and support long-term recovery. Whether you're looking to reduce your risk or help a loved one heal, this episode offers valuable insight into what's possible when we support the body's innate ability to restore itself. In this episode: Common causes of stroke—and how to address them naturally How acupuncture can help treat stroke symptoms and support healing The connection between toxicity, circulation, and brain health Why medication isn't always enough for prevention or recovery Tips for reducing stroke risk through nutrition, hydration, and detoxification What to look for in post-stroke care (and how to advocate for more holistic options) Hopeful stories of healing and progress through natural approaches   For full show notes, resources and links head to: https://vitalhealthcda.com/podcasts/   The Vital Health for You Podcast is for everyone.

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice. In this episode, "Differentiating Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut: Diagnosis, Research, and What's Ahead," In this episode, Joyce Lee-Iannotti, MD, PhD, division chief of both the Stroke Center and the Comprehensive Sleep Center at Barrow Neurological Institute, discusses her presentation from the 2025 SLEEP Annual Meeting focused on the glymphatic system's role in stroke. She outlines the science behind this brain-cleansing pathway, its dependence on sleep quality, and how its dysfunction may worsen outcomes in both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Lee-Iannotti also details practical, evidence-backed strategies for optimizing glymphatic clearance—from sleep posture and sleep apnea treatment to emerging pharmacologic options like orexin antagonists. In addition, she highlights major gaps in clinician awareness and offers calls to action for improving sleep assessments in stroke care. Looking for more Sleep disorders discussion?

Chime In, Send Us a Text Message!In this special follow-up episode of the Know Stroke Podcast, we welcome back Dr. Teresa Kimberley to dive into the one-year outcome study of Vivistim — the first FDA-approved vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy for chronic stroke rehabilitation.Dr. Kimberley, a leading researcher in neuroplasticity and motor recovery, shares key insights from the study, exploring how Vivistim supports long-term functional gains in stroke survivors. We discuss what the findings mean for brain plasticity, how VNS stacks up against other rehabilitation options, and what's next in the field of neurorehabilitation.Whether you're a clinician, stroke survivor, caregiver, or simply curious about cutting-edge stroke recovery science, this conversation offers valuable takeaways on the future of VNS therapy.

 Imagine regaining movement after years of immobility. Julie Graham, OT and therapy development specialist at MicroTransponder, discusses her extensive 20-year career in occupational therapy and her work with Vivistim, a device designed for chronic ischemic stroke survivors. Vivistim pairs vagus nerve stimulation with physical and occupational therapy to enhance neuroplasticity and regain motor functions in the affected upper extremity. Julie explains the role of the vagus nerve in rewiring the brain's connections and how Vivistim is different from e-stim (external electrical stimulation). While the FDA has only approved Vivistim for chronic ischemic survivors, there are multiple studies for all types of brain injury, so Julie hopes access will be expanded soon. She also shares real-life success stories of stroke survivors who have regained significant abilities. Support the showNew episodes drop every other Thursday everywhere you listen to podcasts.

The introduction is done by Dr. Steven Flanagan, Chairperson of the Department of Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Health.  Sara Cuccurullo MD is Professor and Chairman, Residency Program Director in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, Rutgers- Robert Wood Johnson Medical School; Medical Director, VP at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute; and Physician in Chief of HMH Rehabilitation Care Transformation Services  Talya Flemming MD is Medical Director: Stroke Recovery Program, Post-COVID Rehabilitation Program, Aftercare Program ABMS, Brain Injury Medicine Certified JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinical Associate Professor, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Core Associate Professor, Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine. Part 2 Dr. Flemming described the functional results obtained from their intervention. They specifically chose the activity measure proposed for post-acute care, abbreviated as AM-PAC. It showed improvement over time and it allowed looking at specific subsections within rehabilitation, such as basic mobility, daily activity, and cognitive scores. An AM-PAC score is a recognized tool by Medicare used in multiple post-acute care settings. Dr. Cuccurullo indicated that according to an article published in 2011 in the journal Stroke, the all-cause mortality for stroke patients in the U.S. is 31%. In one year, the all-cause mortality in their program was 1.47%. Their results were published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The paper received the Excellence in Research Writing Award for the most impactful article of the year. Significantly, the manuscript attracted the attention of Medicare officials who asked them to present their findings. CMS wanted to know if it can be proved that the stroke recovery program saves money, can they validate their previous improvement in mortality with more patients, and can they replicate the results at other institutions nationally. Drs. Fleming and Cuccurullo described what they did in response to these questions. A Question & Answer period followed.

The introduction is done by Dr. Steven Flanagan, Chairperson of the Department of Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Health. Sara Cuccurullo MD is Professor and Chairman, Residency Program Director in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, Rutgers- Robert Wood Johnson Medical School; Medical Director, VP at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute; and Physician in Chief of HMH Rehabilitation Care Transformation Services  Talya Flemming MD is Medical Director: Stroke Recovery Program, Post-COVID Rehabilitation Program, Aftercare Program ABMS, Brain Injury Medicine Certified JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinical Associate Professor, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Core Associate Professor, Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine. Part 1 Dr. Cuccurullo began by discussing their stroke recovery program, specifically investigating and analyzing the effects of a comprehensive initiative on all-cause mortality, function, and readmissions. She listed the learning objectives for today's grand round presentation. Strokes are the number one admission in their inpatient rehab facility. Twenty-two percent of their patients comply with going to the facility. Their patients have a finite resource for Medicare once they leave inpatient or the acute care setting. Payment caps compromise the ability to have outpatient therapies that prevent them from having a full recovery. Dr. Flemming pointed out that there is an overlap with patients who have neurologic disease after stroke as well as patients who have cardiac disease. So, they designed their program to combine both elements of neurorehabilitation and a modified cardiac rehabilitation program, which starts with an outpatient visit with a stroke physiatrist. Common challenges that need to be addressed are patients with: weakness on their one side versus the other, cognitive or attention deficits, poor safety awareness, and post-stroke fatigue. They decided that it would be important to collect medical and functional outcome data to see if the program could affect hospital readmissions, the recurrence of stroke, and overall mortality.
