Did you know that stroke is the No. 4 cause of death in women? The lifetime risk of stroke for women between 55 and 75 in the United States is 1 in 5. Stroke is the third leading cause of death for women. Stroke is also the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States. These facts astonished me when I heard them. Stroke is not a commonly talked subject, and I believe we need to have more education on this topic, especially if you are a woman over the age of 50! So when I got a chance to speak with Tsgoyna Tanzman, I knew she would be a very valuable guest to have on the podcast. Tsgoyna is a holistic Speech-Language Pathologist, Life Coach, author, and speaker who’s helped thousands of stroke survivors and their caregivers recover meaningful lives after stroke and brain injury. Tsgonya’s book is called “Hope After Stroke for Caregivers & Survivors.” In this episode, Tsgonya educates us on the types of strokes, helps identify signs of a stroke, and gives helpful advice on lowering our stress and risk of stroke overall.
