Now if you haven’t listened to Episode 224, go and check it out and listen to that. Because there’s some really cool questions that I had that I responded to. Bill Gasiamis 1:01<br /> And they were about things like psychological recovery, the emotional recovery after stroke, the fact that recovery doesn’t stop even though you might be a number of years post-stroke. I briefly spoke about and gave my thoughts on long COVID and fatigue caused by COVID and the similarities to stroke recovery and why it doesn’t really matter whether you’ve had a stroke or you have fatigue for a different reason. Bill Gasiamis 1:32<br /> That the approach to healing and overcoming that is by repairing the gut and supporting the gut. I also spoke about how to keep the motivation going after stroke. And then after the recovery process, which can be difficult and can be you know, long-winded. Bill Gasiamis 1:52<br /> I spoke about a politician in America John Fetterman, who had a stroke before his political campaign to run for office during the midterm elections, and I spoke about what my thoughts were on what the Trump’s had to say about the fact that John Fetterman had a stroke, and also spoke about confidence drop.
