Description

In 2016 I suffered a mini-stroke. Since then I have been researching possible ways to reduce the risk of me getting a stroke - either mini or full-blown. Up to 90% of strokes can be prevented with lifestyle changes. In 2017 I published 'How to prevent a stroke!' here, on Udemy. The course had one aim - to save lives.

As student enrolments rose I published another course "How to avoid a stroke at Christmas and holiday times" also free. (But this has now changed - see Preview)

This course "Women and strokes" is the final course in the trilogy. The aim is still the same: to save lives.

Of course this course was/is free - and always will be..............BUT see PREVIEW.

I am NOT a doctor. I am NOT medically qualified. I am NOT speaking on behalf of any organisation.

These lectures are simply my thoughts as I try and spread the word about risk factors. There are MORE risk factors for women than men - but how many are well known? Even if you are aware of the risks do you know how to reduce them?

You have NOTHING to lose in taking this course - and everything to gain. But this course is not just for you but for your family, your friends, your partner, your neighbours - it is for everyone, but especially for women.
