Salad With a Side of Fries Nutrition, Wellness & Weight Loss

Update: Covid-19 Edition

Episode Summary

Every day since mid-March we've learned more. As two vaccine trials show promising results, where does this leave us? Some have had it and are experiencing symptoms long after they've recovered viralogically. Others are living in fear of the air and people outside the walls of their home. Where's the balance? What are we to do? How do we make sense of it all? Jenn walks us through it. In this update Jenn reviews what we now know about the virus and treatment, immunity, long-term Covid, the vaccines and what each of us can do every day to support our health. Plus Jenn brings us an update from Mike who shared his Covid-19 story on the podcast in April. Many of your questions answered and hope offered on a silver platter. Listen in!
