In this episode, I dive deep into my journey from the sudden onset of a stroke in December 2019, through the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) 2 months later to where I stand today. I'm sharing the pivotal lessons, the critical need for personalized recovery strategies, and the lifestyle transformations that have been instrumental in my path to well-being.

🌟 What I Discuss:

  • My Personal Stroke Experience: The harsh realities of my stroke, driven by high blood pressure and unhealthy habits, and the rigorous road to rehabilitation that followed.
  • The Path to Individualized Stroke Recovery: The journey of discovering what recovery methods work best for me, underscored by the support from my family and the wider stroke survivor community.
  • Reflections on My Recovery Journey: Marking four years since my stroke, embracing therapies like hot yoga, and the ongoing process of adapting and learning.
  • Physical Adaptations and New Activities Post-Stroke: How I've incorporated running, cycling, and weightlifting into my recovery, and their role in managing MS symptoms and enhancing my overall health.
  • Focusing on Health and Well-Being: The role of managing sleep apnea in my health improvement, the benefits of running for my well-being, and the importance of being open to new recovery methods.
