Hailey Bieber Says 2022 Mini-Stroke Left Her Hyper-Vigilant About Health

Her podcast recounting links a same-day groin-access catheter repair to a heightened medical curiosity that shaped Rhode.

Overview

  • On the Feb. 18 episode of Jake Shane’s Therapuss, the 29-year-old reflected on her 2022 medical emergency and its lasting impact.
  • She said the experience made her extra hyper-aware of her body and more nervous, leading her to stay closely on top of her health.
  • Doctors determined she had a transient ischemic attack in March 2022 caused by a small blood clot in the brain, then identified a patent foramen ovale.
  • She underwent a minimally invasive PFO closure through the groin and was discharged the same day.
  • Bieber said the ordeal intensified a fascination with medicine that informed her skincare brand Rhode, and she has previously described lingering anxiety and fragile emotions in 2023.
