Dr. Allison Arch, a neurologist with Providence Medical Associates at Little Company of Mary in Torrance, California, joins host Jennifer Semenza to discuss ways to minimize the risk of having a stroke. Regular checkups with a primary care doctor are crucial, especially for older adults, to monitor and control risk factors. Maintaining a healthy diet, staying active, and managing stress are all important. Dr. Arch also emphasizes the critical importance of quick action if stroke symptoms appear, as timely treatment can save brain function and improve recovery. She also talks about advancements in acute stroke management that have significantly improved outcomes.

If you suspect you or a loved one might be having a stroke, remember the acronym BE FAST: Balance issues, Eye vision loss, Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties, and Time to call 911.
