Know the Signs. Save a Life.
 
Stroke can happen at any age — and when it strikes, every second counts.
In this episode of Stars and Stories, MJ chats with pharmacist and Master Herbalist Gerald Quigley about the FAST signs to watch for:

• Face drooping
• Arm weakness
• Speech difficulty
• Time to call triple zero

With 45,000 Australians experiencing a stroke each year — and that number expected to rise — this is something we all need to know. Gerald also shares simple prevention tips and where to find trusted resources.
