Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Five Daily Habits For Future-Proofing Your Brain

I think I'm doing pretty good here, since I do plan on living to 94 when I will die in a wingsuit flying accident. 

Five Daily Habits For Future-Proofing Your Brain


Dr. Tara Swart is a neuroscientist, leadership coach, author, and medical doctor. Follow her on Twitter at @TaraSwart.

1. Switch Up Some Of Your Food Habits

This is where your doctor and hospital should create SPECIFIC diet protocols: for blood pressure reduction; for stroke recovery; for stroke prevention; for dementia prevention; for cognitive improvement; for cholesterol reduction; for plaque removal; for inflammation reduction. NOT the lazy prescription of the MIND or  Mediterranean diets.

2. Add Just 20 Minutes Of Movement To Each Day

I'm good with this, usually 1.5-2 hours a day of walking to get in my 10,000 steps. Needed along with eating only 2 meals a day to maintain my weight. 


3. Bust Out Of Your Comfort Zone More Regularly

I originally did this by moving someplace where I knew no one, had to join numerous Meetup groups

4. Prioritize Sleep

I'm failing at this. With my active social life and the amount of exercise I need to do sleep is where the time is stolen from. Caffeine is used to get me awake in the morning.


5. Maintain An Active Social Life

There are times when I have activities 5 nights a week. As the book, 'The Tao of Dating; The Smart Woman's Guide to Being Absolutely Irresistible' states, you should be dating 3 people at a time. Dating one person at a time will limit your social life. I'm not dating anyone but have plenty of female friends to do things with.
