Peloton Instructor Bradley Rose on Returning to Life After Stroke

In this episode, Dr. Daniel Correa sits down with Peloton instructor and actor Bradley Rose. Bradley shares his experience of having a stroke at age 32 and the events that led to his diagnosis, treatment, and recovery as well as the barriers he faced to receive the care he needed. Next, Dr. Correa speaks with Dr. Sarah Song, associate professor and stroke specialist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, and member of the Brain & Life Editorial Board. Dr. Song provides information about the type of stroke that Bradley experienced—transient ischemic attack—along with stroke treatments and prevention, and how to navigate going back to work and participating in activities.
