It's diffi cult to know
the root cause of her
stroke, but Nancy
Shaver believes it was
probably the result of
two things: stress of
working nonstop and
undertreated high blood
pressure. She credits her
remarkable recovery to
tailored care along with
her fearlessness in the
face of change.

Risk
Nancy Shaver has always tried to meditate, but
before her stroke she never did it with much
diligence. Now, she better balances her " analytical
problem solver " side with a daily 15-minute
meditation. " I'll burn incense and light a candle
and sometimes just stare at the clouds, " she
says. She admits that the fi rst couple of minutes
are challenging, as her mind will be full of
thoughts. But she encourages everyone to stick
with it through the fi rst few minutes to eventually
fi nd health-enhancing calm. And most
important, she shares, " put down the phone. "
Meditation has been endorsed by the
American Heart Association. In 2017, the AHA
came out with a scientifi c statement: " Overall,
studies of meditation suggest a possible benefi
t on cardiovascular risk, although the overall
quality and, in some cases, quantity of study
data are modest. Given the low costs and low
risks of this intervention, meditation may be
considered as an adjunct to guideline-directed
cardiovascular risk reduction by those interested
in this lifestyle modifi cation. "
