17% of WOMEN will get a stroke ! (+ workbook!)
- This is very much a course to try and minimise your chances of having a stroke. Therefore participants should have a willingness to learn and if necessary, change.
- Pass on the tips and ideas, thoughts and stories to elderly relatives and friends – or just remember them for yourself!
- Appropriate mindset. This course is not a loss leader. It is not a course that will suddenly have a price put on it. The course is free and there is one aim only: to help everyone minimise their chances of suffering from a stroke
- As there are links given in the lectures you should be able to use the internet – make sure you have anti-virus software that is up to date!
- Access to a PC
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.
