Man you look great I’m post hemorrhagic stroke and I now have left side paralysis for 3 years now I’m getting stronger and more balanced doing rehab working out at home.what I have learned is it takes time,as long as you do th right things in moderation you eventually will have positive results from consistent hard work

Seeing my dad strain every sinew in his body just to move his thumb, I can’t imagine the level of fortitude and perseverance it must have taken. Absolutely fantastic. I know it must have been a difficult journey however, it was worth every step. You’re going to inspire millions Kevin. 👏👏
Amazing video man.. this still feels like yesterday. So glad you’re getting your story out there for others to gain strength from! Keep at it man.. we all love you!
You are an inspiration to everyone that has suffered a stroke because you didn't give up which can be very easy to do. I recently came across a YT channel called rehab HQ. Tara Tobias is a neurologic Physical Therapy Specialist in Orlando. She has many videos showing different exercises for all areas affected by stroke, from a neurological perspective. I would have loved to find her 8 years ago when I had a stroke.
So thankful I found this I had an ischemic stroke 4years ago that paralyzed my left side and was abandoned by my family in the hospital during covid now I'm stuck in a horrible nursing home and trying not to give up the nursing home refuses to give proper physical therapy so I stay closed up in a room 24/7. Your story gives me hope
So sorry to hear your current physical therapy isn’t cutting it. Depending on where you live, try researching nearby facilities where you can get further assistance. Keep up the good fight.💪
Hi david may here dm also ischemic stroke while at sleep found me 3 days later left sie paralyzed also in a terrible nursing home bcs of the plandemic not enough staff, staff lost ther humanity, empathie, no time, huge pain with spastics, toilet nappies, shower water very painfull also closed in terrible, want to get etanercept Iam in germany very hard and upsetting,
Do not give up. I have a relative who had a stroke years ago. I knew that hospital food is garbage, so I took it upon myself to take her organic fruits and veggies, fatty wild fish and sea food, and high protein foods. I brought in magnesium and a natural vitamin C. I made to take her outside so she could get vitamin D. She got better quickly, and at that time she did not get physical therapy. I think a healthy, low sugar and carb diet is the key to healing. The body does not heal with proper nutrition. Don’t give up. Find relatives and friends that will help you. You will heal!
Just caught your video 👏🙏🏻Looking great . Well done your a great ambassador for Stroke patients, unfortunately I lost my twin brother,few yrs ago as he just had give up , I’ll keep,you in my prayers God Bless 🇮🇪Northern Ireland 💙🙏🏻🫶

Glad to hear you’re able to recover from a stroke. I was able to recover from the cerebral hemorrhage many years ago. Since then, I’ve had a spinal cord injury, and have to deal with my life in a totally different way as a quadriplegic. And like you, I keep my mind pointed forward, and I’m enjoying it.
My husband is going through this right now , he also has left neglect. It's been so hard . He stood up for the very first time last week. Very scary . Thank you for your recovery story ❤
I suffered a stroke 6 years ago. Mine was right side paralyses with dysathera. My aortic valve was also replaced (long story). I'm walking now but still can't use my lower right arm. Thanks to the tone in my right hand I can lift machine assisted weights but I can't lift much. The hardest thing is the dysathera. I like to interact with people, but talking is so hard. It takes a toll on my mental health. Thank god I have good support group. You said you have to put in the work. Is 5 to 6 days a week in the gym about right, too much or too little? I typically 1 hour of cardio and 1 hour of weights and stretching, The cardio helps me speak better. I'm hell bent on getting better... Thanks for starting a youtube channel. It gives me hope... I will buy your bookI
Yeah, I would say you are on the right track and keep up your training regimen! Cardio and weightlifting are very important for different reasons. Listen to your body and always train instinctively. That’s at least what I’ve done and it has helped me tremendously. I also have a very high protein diet to help rebuild any muscle atrophy and weakened tissue. Keep up the good fight.💪
Thank you for sharing your experience. I was diagnosed with mild stroke in 2022. I was 42 then . I have recovered 95+% by following inspirers likw you and giving up completly on alcohol. I thought and still think, life has given me second chance. I left my high paying salary and currently pursuing a course on Quantum Computing, Just thought- one life and I should give it 100% that I can offer to universe! thanks. God Bless!!
All Praise Be To THE MOST HIGH GOD. I have greatly recovered from an ischemic stroke which occured in May. I'm able to walk, talk, drive etc. Diet, exercise and rest.
Congrats on your recovery brother! My wife had a stroke a week ago and I will encourage her to follow a similar plan as yours-nutrition and exercise along with supplementation of a variety of beneficial oils such as coconut, omegas, olive oil, etc. Thank you for sharing your story. Wishing you the best going forward.

Thanks for sharing yourstory I'm a survivor too close to1year aniveversir Had Mc A stroke withvleft side paralysis fighting hardertoregsain my walking again Idnot care wht my doctor willtellme like those discouraging mesages etc its my life as akid Ilearned howtowalk & again Iwill learn howto in 20224 as a 43 yearold
I'm happy to see you healthy! I've just had my 11th cerebral hemorrhage and doing well. The first three were the worst. Occipital, parietal and frontal lobes were affected I was a Beast at the gym, a Captain with a major airline based in Boston and had the world by the tail. I'm unfortunately still recovering from the first three. I was paralyzed for the first year afterward. January 21, 2002. I had just lost many friends on 9/11/2001, turned 40 Nov.2 2001, was teaching Anatomy and physiology 16 hours per day/ 4 days per week and flying to the west coast (flight 11) mostly on the weekend. My brain sort of exploded. I continued to bleed for 3 days making things worse. I walked into the hospital but had to be taken home by ambulance. I felt like I was the only one this kind of thing happened to. I'm 62 now and one month ago, i was hospitalized because of a right hemisphere epicranial bleed. I'm doing well. It doesn't sound like you have aphasia? I have enough for the whole world. GOD Bless!
So glad to hear your recovery. I’m shocked however by how young you were when you had this stroke! If you don’t mind, did the doctor ever explain what the cause of the stroke was?
You know what, I saw you actually answered this question in another video but I’m going to keep my comment so you still get the boost. Again, so glad you were able to recover!
Still a bit of a mystery to this day, although it is strongly believed, my initial ischemic stroke occurred from a previous head injury from skateboarding. If you’re interested in learning a lot more, please check out my book. I go into a lot of detail regarding stroke recovery over a period of nearly 14 years. a.co/d/96xtrZh
Had stroke too 3m ago. It’s sad but… I dropped 10 kg, became more fast and little bit fell in love about my body in mirror 😂 😢 This case gave me insight that You can love someone when You starting love yourself. Peace too You 👍 your situation is harder.
😅glad that you've got your life back. You're still very young. I had a left hemisphere stroke 11 months😮ago. I'm improving and just started gentle water exercises in a class. Lap swimming is difficult because my right arm doesn't work very well.
❤❤❤thank you...I am 75,suffered a cerebellar stroke,Tuesday 30th July 24,at the end of a embolization procedure it happened.I am alive by His grace ...happy you survived,happy I survived,by Jesus Grace ....love in Christ to you ❤❤❤

Feel free to check out my book, I write about over a decade of experience in stroke recovery, and a lot of folks have seemed to benefit. 🙏 Taken By Surprise: A Declaration of Perseverance a.co/d/iQkiMpy
When you mentioned nutrition in the video, can you explain what you did different with your nutrition please?& What kind of exercises please?It's hard when you're abandoned by everyone& have to do everything yourself.
You're quite the inspiration! Def look forward to watching more of your video's: I had two strokes last year, almost on my first year since, had my whole right side paralyzed, same part of the brain damaged but other side of my head, and im trying to keep moving forward. Anything you find helpful for working your fingers for typing in particular?
Thank you for the kind words. Tapping my affected hand and fingers to music has always been really helpful and definitely sped up improvement over the years. I’ve gotten a lot of dexterity back doing different things, will post a video soon on that. In the meantime, keep up the good fight.💪
i had an AVM rupture on my right frontal lobe and was left weak/paralyzed on my left side. I'm 18 months post stroke. I can walk but it's not back to normal and my arm is still very weak and flexes up towards my chest. I had just got my 3rd degree black belt a week before my stroke. I started training at the age of 9. I'm working hard every day to get my life back. Squads, walking, weight baring, stretching, treadmill, etc. what exercises did you do to regain your arm?
So glad to hear you were doing well. I will upload a video, showing specific arm exercises, however, regarding combating the tone/upward flex towards your chest w/ your left arm… Try to train your tricep as well as possible. That will help combat that upward tone motion. I had the exact same problem with my left arm, and was able to completely reverse it with consistent training and new creative training ideas. Keep up the good work💪
@@kevingocke This is awesome. A year ago, I had no arm movement, now I can lift it, especially while laying down but it's very slow and heavy. I still can't extend my arm to reach, due to the muscle tone spasticity. I will keep working hard. Thank you!
Im 56yo 4yrs post hemorrhagic stroke, never recovered despite going to out patient phys therapy the whole time, i know everyone is different, im just not one of the lucky ones, n it sucks, i made s3veral attempts to end this misery, still sorry i wasnt successful, sorry, its my truth
I too, am a child of 1967. Please, hold tight! There may be a solution you haven't yet uncovered. This channel is going to be of enormous benefit to you. Do it the hard way. What have you got to lose. You opted out and you are still here! Might be a reason. I'm there for you. I believe you can do it. I have to.

So sorry for your struggles, not fair what happens . My Aunt was paralyzed from the neck down at 40 , Lived a full life till 80 . This incredible lady kept going Out and made the best of it. The key WAS focusing On being there for everyone else . Laughing as much as possible Take care and wish you positive days .
Hi Kevin I am a stroke survivor it been rough but I'm still fighting not at all giving up , I'm a nurse cosmetology and have done some dental assistance work my left arm hand is spastic but I'm up walking with cane cognitive fine speech great but would like to know what your diet was during your recovery and exercise routine routine
Hey there, sorry to hear about your stroke, but glad to hear you are not giving up! I have a few videos up on my channel where I go into more detail on my diet during recovery. I personally focus on high protein and supplement with a few things that really helped me. If you’d like, I also do online coaching and provide more detail in sessions, as well as accountability to help people recover quicker. Feel free to check out my website (www.Livepoised.com)if that’s something you might be interested in. For now keep up the good fight!💪
Sorry to hear about your stroke, but great job keeping that mindset. Remember, plateaus are a myth… As long as you don’t stop, your improvement never stops. It is gradual, but the compounding effects of training inevitably add up and you will be capable of things that once seemed impossible . Keep up the good fight.💪
I was very close to a craniotomy several times while I was in a coma, but the tubes draining fluid from my skull were just enough to alleviate pressure.
I have felt like I was at a standstill several times over the last 14+ years, however, I’m always on the lookout for new barriers to breakdown. Still finding new ways to improve even this far along. Never give up💪
Yes, I was fortunate enough to pass both the written exam and the behind the wheel test about 1.5 years after my stroke. So I’ve been driving for a while now 💪

@@kevingocke thank you 💟
May the Lord Jesus be with us
When you mentioned nutrition in the video, can you explain what you did different with your nutrition please?& What kind of exercises please?It's hard when you're abandoned by everyone& have to do everything yourself.
@@maribelmejia2693 thank you for your interest 🙏 I will upload a video next explaining in more detail. In the meantime, keep up the good fight.💪
God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you!

We are survivors here. I just my stroke last Tuesday
You're quite the inspiration! Def look forward to watching more of your video's: I had two strokes last year, almost on my first year since, had my whole right side paralyzed, same part of the brain damaged but other side of my head, and im trying to keep moving forward. Anything you find helpful for working your fingers for typing in particular?
Thank you for the kind words. Tapping my affected hand and fingers to music has always been really helpful and definitely sped up improvement over the years. I’ve gotten a lot of dexterity
back doing different things, will post a video soon on that. In the meantime, keep up the good fight.💪
This is awesome! Could you please let us know how long it took you to achieve this level of recovery?? Thanks.
Yes, of course! Stay tuned for next video where I’ll answer your question in detail💪
i had an AVM rupture on my right frontal lobe and was left weak/paralyzed on my left side. I'm 18 months post stroke. I can walk but it's not back to normal and my arm is still very weak and flexes up towards my chest. I had just got my 3rd degree black belt a week before my stroke. I started training at the age of 9. I'm working hard every day to get my life back. Squads, walking, weight baring, stretching, treadmill, etc. what exercises did you do to regain your arm?
So glad to hear you were doing well. I will upload a video, showing specific arm exercises, however, regarding combating the tone/upward flex towards your chest w/ your left arm… Try to train your tricep as well as possible. That will help combat that upward tone motion. I had the exact same problem with my left arm, and was able to completely reverse it with consistent training and new creative training ideas. Keep up the good work💪
@@kevingocke This is awesome. A year ago, I had no arm movement, now I can lift it, especially while laying down but it's very slow and heavy. I still can't extend my arm to reach, due to the muscle tone spasticity. I will keep working hard. Thank you!
❤❤❤

I too, am a child of 1967. Please, hold tight! There may be a solution you haven't yet uncovered. This channel is going to be of enormous benefit to you. Do it the hard way.

@@sheriwilliams8942 What does it do? Is their science behind it?
So sorry for your struggles, not fair what happens .
My Aunt was paralyzed from the neck down at 40 ,
Lived a full life till 80 . This incredible lady kept going
Out and made the best of it. The key WAS focusing
On being there for everyone else . Laughing as much as possible
Take care and wish you positive days .
Hi Kevin I am a stroke survivor it been rough but I'm still fighting not at all giving up , I'm a nurse cosmetology and have done some dental assistance work my left arm hand is spastic but I'm up walking with cane cognitive fine speech great but would like to know what your diet was during your recovery and exercise routine routine
God bless you and pray you have a blessed and amazing week.😊
Hey there, sorry to hear about your stroke, but glad to hear you are not giving up! I have a few videos up on my channel where I go into more detail on my diet during recovery. I personally focus on high protein and supplement with a few things that really helped me. If you’d like, I also do online coaching and provide more detail in sessions, as well as accountability to help people recover quicker. Feel free to check out my website (www.Livepoised.com)if that’s something you might be interested in. For now keep up the good fight!💪
@kevingocke thank you Kevin I will try to find the video
@@kevingocke is there a link to all your videos???
Thank you so much for responding
Amen
So what did you do to recover? I'm 8 yrs n I'm & still half paralyzed. What should I do?
Me too!
He said nutrition & exercise.
How long you took recovery
I had a stroke in April n just fighting through it my right side is weak but I keep on fighting
Sorry to hear about your stroke, but great job keeping that mindset. Remember, plateaus are a myth… As long as you don’t stop, your improvement never stops. It is gradual, but the compounding effects of training inevitably add up and you will be capable of things that once seemed impossible . Keep up the good fight.💪
I do lil exercise everyday. And physical therapy told me my leg is getting strong so far
@@zepedagabe awesome great news!
@@kevingocke will that work??
Yes
How long you took recovery arm
I’m 10 years post stroke I seem to have come to a standstill they gave me a a craniotomy
I was very close to a craniotomy several times while I was in a coma, but the tubes draining fluid from my skull were just enough to alleviate pressure.
I have felt like I was at a standstill several times over the last 14+ years, however, I’m always on the lookout for new barriers to breakdown. Still finding new ways to improve even this far along. Never give up💪
Nutrition iam 64 wat can i eat i keep checking wat i am eating
@@jeancosgrove2679 high protein has helped me tremendously. I eat roughly 1g of protein per pound of body weight.(per pound of lean body mass.)

Can you drive a car now?
Yes, I was fortunate enough to pass both the written exam and the behind the wheel test about 1.5 years after my stroke. So I’ve been driving for a while now 💪
I glad to hear this
