Hi Everyone! I am bringing you another special episode for you guys today. I have team Margo with me today. Margo, her daughter Andrea and Dr. Steven Zanfini come on the podcast today to tell us their  journey of recovery after Margo had a brain aneurysm back in 2017. Andrea found her mom Margo in her home roughly 19 hours after the aneurysm happened. The doctors told Andrea her mom has a 0% chance of making it because of how long her brain was filling up with blood. They did immediate surgery to install a coil in the aneurysm which prevents blood from getting into it. After that only time could tell if she would recover or not. That’s when the road to recovery began. Andrea shares her experience with caring for her mother and finally making the decision to be her primary care taker to ensure she gets the best care and opportunity to heal. Andrea walks us through her process to remove most of her moms pharmaceuticals and replace them with all natural holistic remedies( essential oils, CBD, celery juice, and more). After about a year and a half of rehab and recovery Andrea found Dr. Steve Zanfini of Complete Chiropractic and that’s where Team Margo was born. Dr. Steve’s approach and understanding of functional neurology really helped Margo’s progress in recovery. Dr. Steve tells the story of how he was able to get Margo from non-verbal to verbal after using his cold laser on the brain and a few other tricks. It’s an amazing story I hope you all enjoy!
