Brendan Courtney has revealed that terrifying health fears have made him under-go a complete lifestyle change.
The esteemed designer, who recently filmed a documentary with this father, Frank, admitted that his dad’s health made him rethink his own choices.
Frank suffered two strokes, which left him paralysed on the left side of his body, and after discovering a blood clot a few years ago, Brendan desperately wants to avoid the same fate.
“I’m trying to manage my blood pressure through diet rather than drugs.
“There’s a diet you can go on which can restrict your arteries and veins from getting blood clots,” he told the Irish Mirror.
Brendan continued, “I had a blood clot about five years ago. My dad has had two strokes, so it’s in me.
“If my dad had been told at my age he had high blood pressure, he’d probably be fine now.”
His father is now receiving palliative care in a hospice.
