  • Good but…

    As a stroke survivor there’s certainly lots of helpful and insightful info, and I so appreciate those who share their stories. However, I started listening to the episode with Chanell and the editing was horrible, her story was cut off, and all I heard was the host going on and on about himself and his experience. I didn’t get very far into the episode and had to turn it off because he was so annoying. Apologies to Chanell!

  • Life changing

    I stumbled upon this podcast following my 89 year old mother’s stroke. As a health care provider myself I had colleagues I could reach out to and I knew the general questions to ask to get us headed in the right direction, BUT no one was able to provide me with adequate answers. I had to fight to get her into see the neurologist before 6 months! I delved into the research myself and still had more questions than answers. Every episode of this podcast gives me another nugget to research. Another ... more

  • Love this✔️

    As a 70 yr old brain stem ischemic stroke survivor 4 years ago, this podcast has proven to be a great asset to my recovery on a personal level- thank you👍I have a large basket full of nuggets - I'm just now believing I am a great new person - what a joy for me to hear you both. My MD ask if I'd like to be referred to the neuro doc that saw me at hospital - now I know, she probably isn't who I need- wonderful job sir😉
