i love my teammates and my supportive family. they make it all possible. the decision capped by a proclamation of unfinished business comes just 40 days after he announced his retirement >> the moment he went on his own pod cast, six days after retired, said never say never and i don't know how i'm going to feel. i knew the guy was coming back. >> reporter: and hours before announcing his return, brady posted a video to his instagram stories where a different kind of legendary footballer, soccer star ronaldo potentially outed bradys confirming you are finished

right. and watch the quarterback's facial reaction, tipping his hand before the nfl universe the last time we saw number 12 on the field he engineered one of the greatest comebacks in playoff history against the rams, only to fall just short. >> i haven't put a lot of thought into it. so we'll take it day by day and see where where we're at. >> reporter: and weeks later a window into the driving factor for possibly calling it a career his family >> my wife is my biggest supporter. you know, it pains her to see me get hit out there. and, you know, she deserves what she needs from me as a husband and my kids deserve what they need from me as a dad. >> reporter: now the nfl career leader in touchdowns and passing yards with 7 super bowl title, 5 super bowl mvps, and legions of fans is ready to take another crack at his own records now, when tom brady begins the

2022 season, he'll be the first ever 45 year old starting quarterback. and guy, just this past week, a collector bought what he thought us the football of the last touchdown pass that tom brady was ever going to throw to mike evans. turns out that's not exactly the case maybe there is some sentimental value there. but what an amazing story all around and everyone in tampa bay or tom pa bay as we like to say, pumped up >> peter king, author of the popular football morning in america column and host of the peter king pod cast. good to have you us this morning. >> how are you >> great 40 days of retirement. any idea what might have happened during that six week period that led to this? >> well, tom brady spent time

with his family in costa rica, he always likes to go there in the f ofasseon in florida at their home and in new york where they also have a home. and this past week he went to england to see man u play. and so he was doing a bunch of family things. and a bunch of things he always thought he wanted to do. and i think the thought kept coming back to him, as hi good friend jim grey told me last night. i think the thought came to tom i do not want to be sitting there in september watching football on tv and saying i can still do this as well as any of these guys and i think that really led to that but also i think a very important thing is it is very clear that his family is supportive of this decision. >> yeah. it was interesting we showed that video of tom and ronaldo. and we showed it in slow motion. do you think that moment or him

watching this 35 year old nail it on the soccer field, do you think that had anything do with him making that decision to come back >> yeah, that thing has been analyzed like the film i looked ate it honestly and when e saw it i said he'd already made up his mind and already kind of gotten the okay from his family. and i think this was just affirmation. with all due respect to ronaldo, still doing it at that age, there's nobody in professional sports history, nobody who at the age of 45 in a game as competitive and as hurtful as football is, i mean just think of this. he is five years older than anyone else playing football and that other guy andrew whitworth is about to retire so it is just, he's doing something that's never been done and i don't know if it is going

to be done again. >> peter, quick, this coming out of retirement. what does it mean for the nfl next season? what does it mean for the bucs do they have a legit shot at another super bowl >> the bucs have a good shot at the super bowl they just barely lost to the eventual super bowl champion rams last year when brady led 'em on a 25-point come back in the fourth quarter i think what it means for the nfl is their tv product is going to be much, much stronger this year and also, the first international game ever played in germany had already been scheduled with the bucs being played now instead of just a lesser quarterback quarterbacking that game >> peter king. thank you, as always >> thanks peter. >> good point there.

azar in a moment but first, our nbc national correspondent has the very latest miguel, good morning >> reporter: she's home and saed to be doing well but calls the medical episode one of the scariest moments of her life this morning hailey bieber is bouncing back from a terrifying medical episode after reports surfaced the model had been admitted to a palm springs hospital the 25 year old wife of justin bieber writing on instagram "on thursday morning i was sitting at breakfast with my husband when i started having stroke-like symptoms and was taken to the hospital. they found i had suffered a very small blood clot to my brain, which causes a small lack of oxygen." remarkably bieber says her body was able to pass the clos on its own and she recovered within a few hours. still she called it one of the scariest moments i've ever been

through. adding, i'm home now and doing well justin bieber posting can't keep this one down. with a photo of the couple together p pop star was forced to postpone a las vegas tour stop after he tested positive for covid-19, while justin has fully recovered, no word on whether also haley contracted covid. this isn't the first health scare the biebers have faced together? 2020 justin opened up about his diagnosis and treatment for lyme disease. >> i've abused my body in the d there was no explanation for what was going on. >> reporter: the couple's bond though they have been together since 2018, the two met as teenagers right here on "today" in 2009. when hailey's famous father,

steven baldwin brought her steven baldwin brought her along. now, after her ordeal, haley thanking her fans, writing thank you to everyone for all the support and love reps for the biebers did not provide us with any further comment on hailey's condition but reiterated he's at home now and doing much better. back to you. thanks dr. natalie azar, nbc news medical contributor. this was so shocking you don't expect a did in her 20s to have something like this how common is it? and how do we think it came about? >> right well, you know, hoda only about 10-15% of strokes happen in the age group of 18-50 we usually think of strokes occurring in older individuals but as she described, a blood clot to the brain is certainly puts her at risk for having had a stroke interpreting what she says it sounds like it was probably something called a tia, a transient ischemic attack or a

mini stroke. and unfortunately they recognized the symptoms and sought immediate medical attention which is really the drive home point this morning. >> risk factors and symptoms what should folks look out for >> absolutely. the easiest way to remember the signs and symptoms of a stroke are with the acronym "fast." the f stands for a facial droop. the a stands for, are you experiencing any weakness in one arm or both arms even. do you have slurred speech and finally the t stands for time time is brain. the sooner you recognize the signs or symptoms in yourself or somebody else, call 9-1-1 and get to an emergency department immediately for evaluation the risk factors in the age group are quite diverse. some are more common or unique to women such as contraceptives which contain estrogen, pregnancy, migraine with aura

and take a look at the list. these are risk factors for the general population in this age group. there are clotting disorders that can be either inherited or acquired something called an arterial dissection where the blood tracks through the wall of the artery rather than remaining in the lumen of the artery. then the traditional ones. hypertension, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and of course lifestyle risk factors smoking, excess alcohol, using illicit drugs and physical inactivity. the take home is to recognize the signs and symptoms and call 9-1-1 immediately. because the faster you get treated and there can be an intervention the less likely to die or suffer permanent brain damage. >> dr. azar. thank you so much. really good advice let's switch gears and get a check of the forecast. mr. roker? >> a diverse amount of stuff going on heavy rainmaking its way into the pacific northwest. unfortunately no rain for

we are back. we are back. 8:37 with your health. and this is a story that all women need to see -- not just women. >> yes. >> but men as well everyone. >> troubling trends. some female patients say doctors aren't taking their symptoms seriously, writing them off as anxiety, stress or hypercondra. >> our dear friend mariah shriver here with more

>> good morning to all of you. many women go to their doctors suffering from pain, discomfort or fatigue and they are told time and time again it is all in your head. or here is a pill for your anxiety. go take it you will be fine this is known as medical gas lighting and studies show that it happens to female patients a lot and the impact on their health can be devastating. it's been called the #metoo of healthcare doctors misdiagnosing, dismissing, even gas lighting their female patients. >> i heard everything from you are just tired to one doctor actually said well i think it is just because you have your period >> i was told that i was overweight i needed to lose weight. that i was depressed and needed therapy >> reporter: for four years, maria garcia suffered from intense stomach and back pain. but says her doctors told her

there was nothing wrong. she just needed to slim down but her symptoms escalated vomiting, weakness and hair loss her specialist still dismissed her. >> i begged him for a cat scan please do something this is not right. oh, you just have to learn to live with it. >> you feel completely crazy >> i started to believe them i thought maybe i am crazy >> reporter: health failing, she finally went to the e.r. at cedar sinai in los angeles where a stan revealed the terrifying truth. maria had a 25 pound cancerous tumor growing in her ovary surgeons were able to remove it just in time. >> i was probably about two weeks away from death. >> reporter: so did you feel once you got your diagnosis rage or relief? >> both. i think being an overweight hispanic woman was to my detriment. everything could be attributed

to either me being dramatic, exaggerating and being fat >> reporter: studies show bias against women, especially those of color is a problem across healthcare from treatment to research. >> most of the data that we use today in medicine is based on research on men, male animals or male cells >> reporter: -- a second about that repeat that. because much of what we know today when it comes to health is based on men. >> yes. >> reporter: experts say the worst medical gas lighting comes in the diagnosis of auto immune diseases which impact an e estimated 1 in 5 women and involve symptoms easy to write off like chronic field goal. >> auto immune diseases we're about ten years behind where we should be. >> reporter: in her new book, author megan o'rourke documents her own struggle with auto immune symptoms and her battle

to be believed by doctors. >> i felt so alone when i was stick and i distrusted myself. >> women feel such shame with their symptoms, they don't want to steam hysterical or they don't want to seem like they are a complainer what is your hope this bhook does >> my primary hope is that it helps people feel heard and seen. >> reporter: leaders at top hospitals are also pushing for change securing more funding for women's health research, training more doctors and how to recognize gender biases and empowering female patients to advocate for themselves. >> women want to be the good they don't want to make anyone angry. so i think it is really important for patients to understand that medicine is really a team work >> reporter: to get the best care, experts say keep a detailed diary of symptoms to show doctors

ask for a thorough physical exam and don't be afraid to get a second, third or even fourth opinion. maria garcia says that saved her life. >> so now i stand up for myself and i encourage other women to do the same. stand up you are worth it >> reporter: if you aren't feeling herd by your doctor, experts say another good approach is to ask them hey if you were in my position, what questions would you ask? and what specialists would you see next it is important to remember doctors are often patients themselves and so they say appeal to them on that level. a personal level. >> good advice the ole thing about research not being done on women for diseases -- >> -- exactly yeah so women's health is decades behind but that is beginning to change but particularly for women my age who go to ask for

information about menopause or paramenopause, or hormones they are like we don't have the research but the important thing i think from here is that women need to write down what they are feeling. and men too by the way doctors have a limited amount of time when talking to you they want to get through it and you have got to know your body

them it is $150 which is pretty steep price for a pillow but this is meant to last. did well in the performance tests. so if you spend the money you are not going to have to replace that and you can customize it to your liking. >> okay. and a humid fire is something that improves most people's sleep. >> oh my gosh. i can't be without it into the winter and even into the spring in parts of the country. you want your humidity about 40-60 percent. makes everything easier to breathe. cuts down on colds and viruses a nice buy at $75 from honeywell. >> and something we don't necessarily any about. >> a smart thermostat is great they have come such a long way they are easier to program and use. they learn your behavior this is also honeywell $113 if you want id cooler at night
