Radio Naturopath Episode 550: Colds, Coughs, and Stomach Bugs, Iron Deficiency, Promunel
This week, I started with all the STUFF that's going around, colds, coughs, and stomach bugs. We talked about how to prevent them and ease symptoms. Then we updated regarding my spinal stenosis care, which is somewhat frustrating, but I keep going! We also talked about Ron's iron deficiency and how he'll get help for that. We finished with a propolis extract called Promunel, which has been studied to help prevent and treat respiratory infections.
Radio Naturopath Episode 230: More Help For Sprains, Preventing Colds and Flu, Genetic Testing for Psychiatric Meds and Conditions
Today we review my progress on healing my sore knee. It's going OK, but now I'm off the bike until Sunday! My chiropractor thinks I need more down time. And then I'll have to go slow and easy when I get back! But I want to heal so I can get in some good fall riding before I have to move indoors.
I've seen so many colds and coughs and so many people with lingering sinus infections and bronchitis that I felt I needed to remind everyone about their cold and cough hygiene! Even Savannah Guthrie on NBC went viral! Neti pots, nasal sprays, lozenges, gargling.
And finally, for people taking meds for depression, anxiety and other psychiatric conditions, I talked about genetic testing to help figure out the meds that will work best and which are contraindicated. I also have testing for which supplements might be more helpful than others, and for vitamin utilization.
