Neal Barnard, MD, and Jim Loomis, MD, join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll 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?
  • Tips for incorporating more fruit right now to improve our 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 triglycerides? Should they be on medication, especially during the pandemic?

We will also hear from Vanita Rahman, MD, about the future of medicine. Thousands are turning to online medical 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.
