Summary
Dr. Neal Barnard is back on The Exam Room™ podcast to answer your coronavirus questions. He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll along with Dr. Jim Loomis for a wide ranging Q&A dedicated to keeping you and your family healthy and safe during this uncertain time.
Among the questions answered:
- When a COVID-19 vaccine is developed will it offer lifelong immunity or be required annually?
- How can we get people to eat more fruit right now to improve their health?
- Should we avoid eating raw broccoli?
- Can the coronavirus enter your home through an open window?
- What can someone who eats primarily a plant-based diet do to lower their triglycerides? Should they be on medication, especially during the pandemic?
We will also hear from Dr. Vanita Rahman about the future of medicine. Thousands are turning to online doctors visits in order to lower the risk of exposure to the coronavirus. Dr. Rahman and Chuck explore Telemedicine from top to bottom. Find out why these cyber visits can be just as effective as trips to the doctor's office and what happens when you need prescriptions and bloodwork.
If you would like to submit a question for the doctor please tweet @ChuckCarrollWLC or @PCRM using the hashtag #ExamRoomPodcast.
