Hi friends, welcome back. My guest today is Dr Diana Fleischmann and we're talking about how

catching COVID can change your personality. When we get sick with the virus like COVID-19,

our bodies respond, but our behaviour and personality also change in a number of important ways

and sometimes it doesn't change back. So today, expect to learn why avoiding new foods when

foam on the outside and in the middle, it's encasing a 50-50 blend of duck feather and down.

So it's the best option if you're looking for a supportive pillow that has all the comfort of a

traditional one. Having a hybrid mixed pillow provides the orthopedic support of memory foam,

which relieves pressure buildup around the neck area, keeps your head and spine aligned,

while the feather and down core softens the pillow and makes sure that you stay cool and comfortable

throughout the night. If you've tried other memory foam pillows but found them too firm and
