About this episode

Hannah Greig shares her personal experiences navigating the healthcare system after her mother's heart attack, discussing the gaps in care and the importance of advocacy and nutrition in recovery.

This is a personal episode. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been inside the healthcare system in a way I never have before — not as a practitioner, but as a daughter. After my mom experienced a heart attack, I witnessed a series of events that left me questioning how we approach recovery, support, and healing. From being discharged with dangerously high blood pressure… to returning with worsening symptoms… to experiencing a stroke shortly after… This episode is not about blaming individuals. It’s about sharing what I observed within the system — and opening a conversation about where things may be missing. We’ll talk about: the gap between acute care and long-term healing what I witnessed during my mom’s hospital and rehab experience the role of nutrition in recovery emotional changes after stroke (and why they’re often misunderstood) and the importance of advocacy in your own health journey If you’ve ever felt unsure about navigating the healthcare system… or wondered how to better support yourself or a loved one through it… This episode will give you a different perspective.
