they invested in this company that was doing extensive health and wellness testing there was a substantially large percentage of people who found a life-threatening time bomb and it was always such a shocking event because the people would inevitably say I just did my full annual physical my doctor said I'm all good I feel great so when I started measuring myself I wanted to know what was going to be my first time bomb and when I did find it how bad is it going to be in November I had an MRI scan done just for preventative
cancer screening I found that I had a jugular vein stenosis so we had these two big veins on the side of our necks they are the highways for blood so the MRI showed that I had severe stenosis severe cloggage and it was causing intracranial pressures my team and I went on this kind of Code Red Alert we didn't know how serious it was like was I going to have a seizure was I going to have a stroke like at any moment how bad was it and so we did a bunch of additional measurements I have
an ultrasound machine at the house in the clinic we do ultrasound measurements looking at actual flow we did more MRIs we did an mrv looking at all the vasculature of my upper chest neck and head we did two different tests looking in my eye your eyes have an insight into intracranial pressure for your brain so anyways I did all this testing I started going to medications and we became expert at this given thing and meanwhile I'm doing PT every day to try to correct my posture so I now I'm obsessed with posture because it so
dramatically affects the flow but it's really I guess like this is not a part of normal care like this has existed my whole life no one has ever found it it's like why don't we know more about these things why aren't these standard routine things for all of us
