After stroke, just the thought of planning a meal, cooking it, and cleaning all the dishes felt overwhelming for me.

It seemed impossible that I could do all of that in a timely manner.

As I was stuck at home with little energy to cook and no ability to go to the grocery store alone, I was reminded of the 800-gram challenge, a simple nutritional framework that encourages you to eat more fruits and vegetables.

In this episode, I share my experiences with this simple diet challenge, which became the nutritional plan that I leaned on in the earliest weeks and months of recovery.
