In this special two-part series of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our special guest is Dr. Ken Redcross and we are sharing tips and strategies to navigate cold and flu season. Medical experts are warning that the U.S. could face a “syndemic” winter as respiratory viruses surge and temperatures plunge. In Canada, respiratory viruses are also on the rise as cold and flu season ramps up. A syndemic is not unlike the “tripledemics” that healthcare systems have grappled with the past two winters — when multiple pathogens, like COVID-19, RSV and the flu converge in a population. A syndemic, however, considers how interacting epidemics have increasingly adverse effects on communities that face systemic and structural inequities. Children’s hospitals across Canada reported significant surges in patients, which led many to cancel major surgeries in order to redeploy staff to help in overcrowded emergency departments and intensive care units. The situation is exacerbated by low and sometimes non-existent supplies of children’s pain and fever medications.
As winter approaches, the Holistic Wealth Podcast invites you to tune into this two-part transformative special featuring Dr. Ken Redcross, where we delve into essential strategies and tips to not only prepare but thrive through the upcoming cold and flu season. Dr. Ken Redcross is the author of “Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor,” and founder of a unique concierge service providing patient-first treatment through Strategic Health Services. As one of the first full-service concierge, personalized medical practices in the United States, Dr. Redcross’ patient portfolio includes executives, athletes, and entertainers, as well as individuals from all walks and stages of life. Dr. Redcross completed his medical training at the prestigious Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. He then transitioned to the renowned Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills, where he received the Man of Valor Award from the NAACP Youth Council for excellence in medicine. In the face of an anticipated “syndemic” this winter, the importance of preparation and holistic health precautions takes center stage.
