Marissa Fattore - Stroke Survivor
Think stroke is something you don’t need to worry about when you’re young? Think again. Marissa Fattore woke up the morning of her college graduation “feeling off.” She chalked it up to graduation nerves and pushed through the day. By the time she was called to the stage to accept her diploma, everything was blurry. Marissa has no memory of what happened after she sat back down. At the age of 21, she’d had a stroke. Nine years later, Marissa is a strong survivor who encourages women to learn the signs of stroke – F.A.S.T.

Metabolic syndrome is a group of five risk factors that can lead to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other health problems. It's diagnosed when someone has three or more of these: High blood sugar, low levels of HDL cholesterol, high levels of triglycerides in the blood, large waist circumference and high blood pressure.
