This course now has a brand new section on preventing heart attacks in women.
THREE SHOCKING STATISTICS!
1. Stroke kills about twice as many women as breast cancer each year. In fact, stroke is the third leading cause of death for women. Stroke also kills more women than men each year. A stroke can leave you permanently disabled

2. Stroke is no friend to women. It kills more women than men and women have more strokes than men.
Source: Stroke Org
3. There are TWO THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND THREE STUDENTS ON THIS COURSE (October 2019) but TWO have finished the course and only THIRTY have done more than 50%
There are MORE risk factors for women than men - but how many are well known? Even if you are aware of the risks do you know how to reduce them?
You have NOTHING to lose in taking this course - and everything to gain. But this course is not just for you but for your family, your friends, your partner, your neighbours - it is for everyone, but especially for women.

Because I am learning things I didn’t previously know and that’s impressive because I have done SO MUCH research on my health issues trying to find answers, or ways to overcome them that I could probably be a doctor at this point :)
This is an important course for all women who want to keep their health in check and enjoy life in the best possible way, It is a very informative and interesting course, Thank you.
I could not sit through 8 more hours of this. I find his delivery quite aggressive. He punctuates points as though poking a finger, repeating phrases that iterate the obvious like 'Stop Smoking', 'Get More Exercise', 'Do Pressups'. There is no structure - from food to exercise to smoking to statistics, then off to YouTube for some free videos. He is clearly passionate about the subject but has not really designed a course, but bought a camera and started talking.
Valuable information for anyone, but as someone working in the health field supercritical knowledge. The first-hand knowledge the instructor has plus the evidence-based information will be very helpful in working with patients. Excited to move forward in the course.
Have very complicated health problems so some of the objectives, excellent as they are, will never be achievable now unfortunately. But I can do as much as I can!
This course is very necessary especially if a stroke was in your family. I Had 2 people with stroke - females - my grandmother and her sister. My grandmother died immediately, in a second. She was a very active woman but also a heavy smoker. Her sister lived 7 years after her stroke paralysed on her right side of her body. She was a very active woman but with obesity. This was very sad too me watching her when she slowly changed into a plant, she could not communicate with anybody, Noone could help her. They and our families had no knowledge then about that disease and proper rehabilitation at that time. But we - women in XXI century have this course - and we can prevent not to have this terrible damage to our body and life which is a stroke. I highly recommend this course to everybody.
ótimo conteudo e o professor se expressa pausadamente , dando para entender e concentrar nas explicacoes
I like the course however it would be great to have direct clickable links for the videos (or maybe I just did not find them)
