Today we welcome Erin Kreszel, who has dedicated herself to raising awareness, providing support, and policymaking after losing her cousin to a ruptured brain aneurysm. Eleven years ago, she and her sister founded The Bee Foundation for Brain Aneurysm Prevention.Erin shares some surprising statistics with us, e.g. ~1 in 50 people has one, and even someone perfectly healthy and young can have one rupture, causing a hemorrhagic stroke.Prevention is key. It is considerably easier to treat prior to rupture. She encourages us to advocate for ourselves. Ask for the MRA if you are concerned or have a family history of aneurysms.She explains the different treatment options for unruptured brain aneurysms, such as clipping and coiling, and the importance of early detection. Send us a textSupport the showYou can find this episode’s transcript here.New episodes drop every other Thursday everywhere you listen to podcasts. 🎙️ Do you want to support us?
