In every aspect of health and healing there are medical limitations that we do not have to accept.

Ready to rebel against the idea that recovery has a ceiling?

Welcome back, rebels! Today we're challenging everything you think you know about stroke, recovery, and the power of your thoughts to create your reality. My guest Tsgoyna Tanzman is a speech-language pathologist turned life coach who's helping stroke survivors shatter the myth that "three months is as good as it gets."

What You'll Discover

✅ The shocking statistics - Why women are 60% more likely to have strokes than men (and why single women face even greater risks)

✅ The rebellious truth about stroke prevention - How 80% of strokes are preventable through lifestyle changes, not just genetics

✅ The BE-FAST method - A life-saving acronym that could mean the difference between full recovery and permanent disability

✅ Why "false hope" doesn't exist - How conventional medical thinking limits recovery potential

✅ The mind-body connection rebels need to understand - How your thoughts literally create your cellular reality

✅ The power of "I AM" - Why these two words are either your greatest weapon or your worst enemy

Quotables

From Tsgoyna:

"Two times as many women die of stroke when compared to breast cancer each year.”

"There is no such thing as false hope. We have to look for evidence of progress, gather strengths and notice what's working."

"You don't have to have a brain injury to damage your brain. You can do that with your own stinking thinking."

From Greg:

"80% is our responsibility, whether it's diabetes, heart disease... Everybody has cancer in their body. Not everybody's gene that carries a cancer turns into a cancer in the body, but the lifestyle is the thing that turns the gene on or off."

The Rebellious Truth About Stroke Recovery

Here's what the medical establishment doesn't always tell you: Recovery doesn't have an expiration date. While conventional wisdom says recovery plateaus at 3-6 months, Tsgoyna's work with thousands of patients proves this is a dangerous myth.

The research shows that neuroplasticity - your brain's ability to rewire itself - continues throughout your entire life. But here's the kicker: Your thoughts about your recovery directly impact your cellular healing.

This isn't just feel-good fluff, rebels. This is science-backed truth that challenges the entire paradigm of "managing" versus healing.

The Mind-Body Rebellion

Ready for a paradigm shift? Bruce Lipton's cellular research proves that when cells are exposed to stress (including negative self-talk), they literally shut down - they stop eliminating toxins and can't function properly.

Your "I AM" statements aren't just words - they're cellular programming.

Try this rebellious experiment Tsgoyna shares: Notice the difference in how these feel in your body:

• "I must improve my health" vs. "I am improving my health"
• "I should get stronger" vs. "I am getting stronger"

Your Rebellious Action Steps

Don't settle for accepting limitations that don't actually have to exist. Here's how to rebel:

1. Learn the BE-FAST signs and share them with every woman in your life
2. Audit your "I AM" statements - are you programming limitation or possibility?
3. Question any medical professional who gives you a recovery timeline ceiling
4. Get Tsgoyna's book: "Hope After Stroke: For Caregivers and Survivors"
5. Start thinking like a stroke prevention rebel - 80% is in your control

Keep the Rebellion Going

Sometimes the most rebellious thing we can do is refuse to accept limitations that don't actually have to exist. Your future self will thank you for not settling for conventional wisdom that caps your potential.

Stay rebellious, and I'll see you next week for another episode that challenges everything you think you know about wellness!
