Session 5: Am I too Young for a Stroke? Lower Your Risk Factors Today
Stroke isn’t just a risk for older adults. Join Joe Scarano and Dr. Nishath Rahman for a practical, eye-opening conversation about the everyday habits and hidden conditions that quietly raise your stroke risk, at any age.
You’ll learn what warning signs most people brush off, how conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, AFib, and smoking affect your risk, and which medications and lifestyle changes actually move the needle. We’ll also walk through screening options so you know exactly where to start.
