High cholesterol is one of the biggest risk factors for stroke. Ask your doctor if you need a cholesterol screening! 🧠

Where did that S come from anyway? We’ll probably never know. But we can easily know our cholesterol numbers. It just takes a simple blood test. Check in with your doctor about your numbers.
