We've started winter now and we've got 4 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 2: the flu season. And I tell you what, there's a 5 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 2: fair bit going around the moment. When I hear that 6 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 2: there's new diseases, my eyes immediately divert to tom Ivy. 7 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 2: But no, we're not going to speak today, thank you. 8 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: We're going to speak to a qualified doctor. 9 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 3: It's doctor Andrew run right. Hello, goodness me. 10 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 4: I get nervous when you come in. Lots talk about 11 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 4: roch many great topics in thirteen twenty four ten. If 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 4: you would like to ask the good doctor a question. 13 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 4: My son Jack, he is eight years old. He has 14 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 4: got pneumonia. That's a fun one to have. 15 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, picked that off the bucket list. 16 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 4: Is that there's viral and then what's the. 17 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 3: Other one back tia bacterial. 18 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 4: So I think something started viral and ended up bacterial. 19 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 3: It can it can work like that. 20 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: So, yes, pneumonia is not necessarily specifically caused by one thing. 21 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: Nia is an infection in the lungs. But yeah, neumonia's 22 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: it's a serious because it's. 23 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 4: The old person's friend isn't it. 24 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: A lot of older people do get pneumonia, particularly if 25 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: they find themselves in hospital, but you know that it's 26 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: that time of year. One of the big ones that's 27 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: that we're trying to get people to know about is 28 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: respiratory sinciti or virus RSVV. 29 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: This is the new one rocks. Well, they're not new. 30 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: It's been around for a very long time, a couple 31 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: of years ago. It falls under that category of respiratory viruses. 32 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: So there's the ones that we know about, you know, 33 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: the usual suspects, influenza, COVID, and then there is all 34 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: these other respiratory viruses. RSV is kind of at the 35 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: top of those. Most kids by the time they get 36 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: to the age of two have had RSV, right, But 37 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: the big issue is the older generation, so over sixty, 38 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: we know that if you get RSV, you're at an 39 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: increased risk of hospitalization and it can be very bad. 40 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: So we need to be getting people to understand that. 41 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: You know, for most of us, might put us in bed, 42 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: might make us a bit unwell. But again it's those 43 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: vulnerable ends of the community, the young ones and the 44 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: older ones that we need to care about. 45 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 3: Is there a vaccine for it, right, sure, no, there is, 46 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: There is a vaccine. 47 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot of different options for people, particularly those 48 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: that are a little bit older, might have a chronic condition. 49 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: And you guys have all heard this, weell. I mean 50 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: we spent a couple of years talking about it. But 51 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: the same thing. If you've got a heart condition or 52 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: a lung condition, you are at higher risks. You should 53 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: be talking to your doctor, talking to your pharmacist about 54 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: the options that you have, you know, to avoid RSV? 55 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 4: Is it very contagious? 56 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: It is. You can pick it up from the surface, 57 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: you can touch your face. It's easily spread. 58 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: Particularly, I mean, we love our little children, our little humans. 59 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: They're wonderful, but my goodness, don't they know how to 60 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: grow some journeys. 61 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 2: The malsters of the grub vaccines, I know how important 62 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: they are. But okay, so our family, the boys have 63 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: got school vaccines that they are going to beginning, the 64 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: flu shot and stuff. But do we have to get 65 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 2: a flu shot? Do we have to get a COVID shot? 66 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 2: Do we have to get an RSV shot? Is there 67 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: certain ones that we should be targeting every winter? 68 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 3: Yes, I mean breaking them out. So with the RSV. 69 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: You know, I think particularly for the vulnerable groups that 70 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: should be talking to their doctor and they're pharmacists about 71 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: the choice there. With regards to influenza and COVID. We 72 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: know the flu vaccine is something that people need to 73 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: be thinking about. But the other thing around all vaccines. 74 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: I like to look at it from the point of view, Yes, 75 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: you're protecting yourself, but the other thing is we're protecting 76 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: the rest of the community. Now, for most of us, 77 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: it's not deadly. For some parts of the community, these 78 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: viruses can be. So I think you need to be 79 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: thinking about not only yourself, but thinking about those that 80 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: you're around, whether there's older you know, grandparents and other 81 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: people that you're spending time with when you're making those choices. 82 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: This is the Fitsy and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast. 83 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: We've got a text message here from Malcolm in Rose 84 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: Bay and Malcolm would like to know can you overdose 85 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: on monjarro doctor? 86 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: You can, absolutely, you need to take it very seriously. 87 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 3: Who's coming from Malcolm from Rose Bay? 88 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: Malcolm from rose It's amazing how much time I spend 89 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: speaking to Malcolm from Rose Bay just. 90 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 4: To extend on Malcolm's questions. I think it said that 91 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: Malcolm was on sort of five milligrams. I believe last 92 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 4: time he up that to seven point five. He had 93 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 4: chronic diary for about a week. 94 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: It's amazing. And Malcolm actually he reached out to me 95 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: at that time and he said him, I is this normal? 96 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: And I said, you just got to ease up, Malcolm. 97 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: I feel like you just you've pushed it. You want 98 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: to you just pushed a little bit too much. 99 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 3: Maybe look for it like in between. Maybe mecame in 100 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: the middle jokes aside. I mean, you do need it 101 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: has become so. 102 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: Mainstreams and you just you need to be talking to 103 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: you your practice. 104 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 4: For those that are out there on ozampic, right, you 105 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 4: do hear a lot about this. Every week there's another 106 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 4: story about people having the side effect of blindness, or 107 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,679 Speaker 4: they can't taste anymore, all this sort of stuff. 108 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: Does this happen? 109 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 3: Everything has a risk associated with it. 110 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: I think that unfortunately we get this this momentum that 111 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: comes with these miracle travels. 112 00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: Solving so many things. 113 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: And yes, it is really helpful, particularly for people at 114 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: the top end of the spectrum that really you know, 115 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: their weight is could be life threatening. 116 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 3: Like Malcolm, We've. 117 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 2: Got Maria on the line from Merrickville. What's your question 118 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: for the doctor this morning? He's all yours. 119 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: Maria, Hello, hello doctor. Such just read online that high 120 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 3: intensity workouts can be bad for women's hormones. I just 121 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 3: want to know if it's true, because I've been thinking 122 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 3: of doing some exercise as well. I don't know which 123 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: ones to choose, A really good question. 124 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: Look, the first thing that I start with is, no 125 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: matter what, all exercise, all choices can impact things. I'll 126 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: be honest, I haven't heard about high intensity exercise impacting 127 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: female hormones, right, but look, there are certain types of 128 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: exercise that impact people in different ways. But you know, 129 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: I think it's about deciding what are you trying to achieve, 130 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: what do you actually enjoy, and then doing it day 131 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: in and day out, Because I think with a high impact, 132 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: intense exercise for a lot of people that are trying 133 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: to get as much done in a short period of time, 134 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: but you can get the same outcome if you're doing 135 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: less over a longer period of time, consistently day in 136 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: and day out. So Maria, I think it comes down 137 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: to what are you trying to do? If it is 138 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: something that you're concerned about, so many other options. 139 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 3: Georgia in Bundi, Hi Georgia. Hi guys. So I started 140 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 3: dating with someone new, right, but every single time I'm 141 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 3: around them, I'm like coughing and sneezing, like I just 142 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 3: so stuffy, And so I'm like, can you actually be 143 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: allergic to? Another? Great question? 144 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: So I mean allergies are I mean you can be 145 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: allergic to pretty much anything. And in this circumstance, whether 146 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: you're actually allergic to the human or you're allergic to 147 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: the things that the human might be using. So it 148 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: might be it might be after shave or perfume, it 149 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: might be a detergent that they're using to wash their clothes. 150 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 3: Or it might be a pet, or it might. 151 00:06:53,279 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: Be something that they're around you, soap for Tommy exactly. Again, 152 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 2: can be allergic to anything, and so it might be 153 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 2: it might. 154 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: Not necessarily be the person. But I think I'm allergic. 155 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: I think I'm allergic to whip. 156 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: I really do, and I don't have any I take 157 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 2: fentanyl just to get through it. 158 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: Sometimes absolutely physical. 159 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: And then there's psychological alogies to different topics. 160 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: And I feel like, can we see Rachel Hands in 161 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: the room here as well. The two producers are in Miranda. 162 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 4: Hello, Ryan, morning boys, save me here, Ry, what's your 163 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 4: question for doctor Andrew Rochford. 164 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: So every time I feel a cold or like flu 165 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: coming on, so I also be doing a COVID test 166 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: as well. I think for a very long time there 167 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: we've got so sick of talking about COVID, but COVID 168 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: still exists. COVID is still something that is dangerous to 169 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: members of our community. 170 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 3: And I think doing a. 171 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: COVID test doesn't necessarily change what you're going to do. 172 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: Gives you a diagnosis if you're positive, but it also 173 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: means that you're not exposing yourself again to people. 174 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 3: That are at high risk. 175 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: You shouldn't be that whole going to work when you've 176 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: got a running nose or you're feeling sick isn't something 177 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: we should be endorsing. You should be wearing a mask, 178 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: protecting others around you. But yeah, absolutely, you know, there's 179 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with knowing whether it's. 180 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: COVID or not. 181 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: But again, you know, I think in those circumstances, it's 182 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: about making sure you're protecting others as much as you're 183 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: protecting yourself. 184 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 3: What's an armor force. Roch. Armor force is really good. 185 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: That's your car. I think that's pretty much to tolish 186 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: your car. 187 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 4: No, no, No. Armor force is like it's understanding as though. 188 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 4: It's a really strong multi vitamin. So if I'm starting 189 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 4: to feel run down, I take a couple of armor 190 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 4: Force that day. 191 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 2: If you're feeling run down, you can't take anything to 192 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 2: get over. 193 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 3: You're already run down, aren't you, orce Dock, You've done well. Firstly, 194 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 3: I do think it's an automobile cleaning product. So if 195 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 3: you are taking the right name, it is talking about 196 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 3: armor all. Don't drink that if you're feeling under the weather. 197 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 4: Under the bonnet to armor Force looks like a strong 198 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 4: multi vitamin. 199 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 3: I think, first and. 200 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: Foremost going to make sure you're getting a good diet, 201 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: so lots of different colored fruits, vegetable, whole foods. That's 202 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: where you're going to get the majority of all the 203 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: vitamins and minerals that you need. 204 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 3: If you do need to. 205 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: Supplement, whichever is your brand of choice when it comes 206 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: to multi vitamin can assist with doing that. But you know, 207 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: I think there's just a lot of things at this 208 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: time of year we need to be prioritizing. One of 209 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: those is making sure we're eating lots of great whole foods, 210 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: to getting outside because I think it gets cold. There's 211 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: always a new excuse why you don't want to be 212 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: moving around and be active. And then the last thing 213 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: is sleep. Yes, sleep is completely underrated. I put it 214 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: at the top of the list.
