Speaker 1 (00:12):
You are about to listen to the Doctor Dahlia Show,
sassy stimulating medical talk radio. Any medical advice Doctor Dahlia
Wax gives on her show should not be substituted for
an actual visit to your medical provider. And now here's
doctor Dahlia right.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
We are back on Doctor Delia Show one eight seven
seven DOT Deli one eight seven to seven DCD ALI.
So we are a little worried about these headlines about a
virus that is taking over China. I know many of
us are still traumatized by what happened with COVID, and
if COVID was leaked, which I believe it was, it
happened six years ago this month when COVID was leaked
(00:59):
from a lab allegedly Wuhan lab, and then start to
make its way towards America by October November, and then
we have one of the worst outbreaks we've ever seen
in modern time by the start of twenty twenty. But
the virus that they're talking about right now in China
is one we already know about. It isn't brand new.
(01:22):
It's called the chicken gunya virus. We've spoken about this.
It's vectored by mosquitoes. And apparently though you can have
epidemics of this virus depending on the mosquito populations and
seasons and weather and stagnant water. And so this outbreak
(01:42):
that has happened now in China, where I believe seven
thousand cases have been reported, is now prompting authorities to
take pretty aggressive measures. They're doing mosquito nets, they're clouding
areas with disinfectant, and apparently there's fines into ap news.
If people do not empty bottles, flower pots, or other
(02:06):
outdoor receptacles, they could be subject to fines of up
to ten thousand and one or that's about fourteen hundred
dollars and have their electricity cut off. So when China
wants you to do something, they cut off your electricity.
So the chicken sorry, the chicken gunya virus has spread
(02:27):
by mosquitoes. It could cause fever, joint pain, can cause
horrific morbidding immortality to those who are immun compromised. And
our treatment because it's a virus, we don't necessarily have
antibiotics for this, and we do supportive measures and we
(02:48):
hopefully ensure that you don't go to any organ failure
from getting chicken gunya. I hope I pronounced it correctly.
But over seven thousand cases have been reported in the
southern city of San which is I believe near Hong Kong.
They say twelve other sentences in the Guandong province have
reported at least three thousand cases. So Daily Mail is reporting,
(03:09):
as opposed to AP News, that there's about ten thousand
cases right now. There's rampant spread. Patients and hospital wards
are being covered with mosquito nets. They're also required to
remain there for a week or until they test negative
for the virus. So you also see drones being used.
Drones are being used to hunt down these insect breeding
(03:31):
grounds and spray insecticide and these fines. You know, it's
it's we're not necessarily, you know, looking at COVID masks,
but we're looking at how China needs humans, to the
human population to jump in and step in to help.
(03:51):
Now we've talked about how mosquitoes really really like the
wet seasons, the monsoon seasons, the you know, flooding. The
mosquite it is love water and so the I guess
the time when they like to mate and party it
up is sundown or like from dusk to dawn. That's
(04:12):
really kind of their party area. So anytime we have
flooding in America, we recommend to get rid of any
you know, puddles if we can sweep them away, throw away,
or dump out your kiddie pools or your puppy pools.
You know, clear fluid water dishes. Mosquitoes love water dishes.
Bring the water dishes inside the The chickaguna virus you
(04:37):
don't usually spread person to person. It's it's it can
be spread person to person through a mosquito vector the
eighties mosquito, which I believe it is the same one
that likes to spread zeca. But it's not such that
if you haven't you kiss somebody, you're gonna give it
to them per se. However, if a mosquita jumps from
you to somebody else, they can give it to you.
(04:58):
So technically it is spread to human, but the main
way it spread is through a bite. So that's why
you're not seeing China. You'll break out the masks and
go through all that. So they say it's unclear where
the infection began, but China is not the only place
(05:18):
dealing with chicken gunya. We're seeing level two travel risk
notices from the CVC, according to Daily Mail for Brazil, Colombia, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan,
the Philippines, Thailand and China. See. I can't stand these
mosquito vectored because I could do a good job stayed
(05:40):
away from people if I have to. I have never
been able to evade a mosquito. And you don't know
when this mosquito bites you because they do this suck
blow mechanism where they blow in a local anesthetic and
so you don't know what's on you until after it left.
And then once the anesthetic wears off, you have this
big red but and you're itching it. Yet the bite
(06:02):
could have happened minutes to an hour ago. We do
not believe anybody has died yet. But if you have fever,
joint pain, rashes, please go to the nearest hospital and
get tested and treated, they say. Reports of local media
have also said that that breeding fish that eat mosquito
(06:23):
larvae and even larger mosquitoes. I'm sorry, they say, in
an attempt to stop the virus. They are they maybe
this is a typo here. Oh, they want to breed
fish that could eat the insects, Fine by me, So
we'll see what happens. But this isn't COVID yet, you
are going to see some COVID restrictions. In fact, they
(06:44):
say officials have ordered travelers from Foshon to undergo a
fourteen day home quarantine similar to COVID that was originally
I'm being told that that has now been withdrawn because again,
you know, we don't want you to get sick, but
it's not like you're going to spread this to somebody. However,
if the country wants to limit the spread, they need
(07:07):
infected individuals to not get bitten by a mosquito who
could then go and spread it to somebody else. So
it's it's challenging, just like COVID was challenging. But this
isn't the first time we've seen it. These infections happen
in Asia, Africa, South America. It's just why do we
have this outbreak now? They say nearly half a million
people were infected with an outbreak in two thousand and four,
(07:30):
two thousand and five, and that's spread across Africa, Asia
and the Americas. So we'll keep you posting on that
one eight seven seven, Doctor OLLI don't go away.

Hi, it's Mark Falter. Hosts of the Financial Fitness Show.
I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
for most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case.
Why because most people spend more time planning next weekends
getaway than trying to ensure they're going to pay less
(09:21):
than taxes. My Financial Fitness team has put together some
materials that I know are going to help you. It's
the Tax Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things,
free tax analysis, top ten ways to pay less than taxes,
and an investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you
get it? Simple? Eight six six seven six four six

Speaker 2 (10:23):
All right, we are back on the Doctor Dolly Show.
Thank you all for tuning in. One eight seven seven
Doctor Dolly one eight seven seven D O C D
A L I. Big thanks to Talk Media Network for
making the show happen. Big thanks to Daniel, our producer,
and big thanks to you all for tuning in. We
really do appreciate it, don't forget to follow us on Twitter,

click like and subscribe. So I just want to kind
of switch gears here and Howard Stern. I've been a
big fan of for gears. There are rumors circulating that
his show may get canceled from Serious Except now. I
don't know how many millions of dollars he makes. I'm
here in ten million, fifty million a year. I don't
(11:05):
know what his yearly contract is, but apparently it was
renewed for five years and twenty twenty ends in December
of twenty twenty five, and so all the media companies
are now saying that there were rumors that he is
not going to continue. Whether it's him getting canceled or
him deciding not to get canceled. I think he was
just on a on a summer break, or he was
(11:27):
just on a recent piatus, which he's allowed to do.
Usually takes summer vacation. I think from June to September.
I think it takes a big vacation. But you know,
I when you see something like this, if it does happen,
kind of signals a huge change. Howard Stern. You know,
one of the most notable shock jocks was the groundbreaking
(11:52):
in terms of radio. In fact, I wouldn't have had
a role in radio. I wouldn't have been able to
get my show off the ground if it wasn't for
Howard Stern and that sort of personality or that you know,
I'm going to say what I think. I don't care
if it ruffles feathers. I'm going to talk about things
(12:17):
that regular media can't. Now. Yeah, I mean, some people
would say some of his shows have gone too far.
I love the movie Private Parts. I thought that was
a fantastic movie showing his start. He did a great,
great job in that, but yeah, there was some content
that probably was not something that most media suits would
(12:38):
have appreciated. But he got the ratings and people loved him.
In fact, people who did it like him helped contribute
to his ratings, and so somebody like him made it
easier for somebody like me and other host you know,
who were not. Oh well, the news says this, and
you know, this is what's going on here in the market.
(12:58):
So I mean it allowed us to have shows that
talked about real life and in ways that was entertaining.
Little risque Et cetera. You know, when my show started,
it was, oh my gosh, how did my show start?
It was sassy, sexy, stimulating, medical talk radio and it worked.
(13:24):
In fact, I got on XM. XM Radio took the show.
We were on with XM for a while until I
think Clear Channel. I was on a station that ended up.
You have multiple media companies that placed their shows on XM,
and my media company took us from XM to iHeart.
So I haven't been on Serious for a while, but
(13:48):
Serious XM, but I've been on it was actually XM
before Sirious and then moved to iHeartRadio. So really happy
for whatever move I made. But where's the future of radio?
I mean, is Howard Stern starting to become obsolete? Now
that we have podcasters? Everybody and their mother can now
(14:08):
have a radio show. You know, people always ask me
what's the difference between radio and podcasting? You know, podcasting
is extremely important and I'm very very grateful for my
team and Daniel to help us with the podcast aspect
of it. I would talk Media network prior to that,
Genesis Communications and Networks. So any show I did on radio,
they put it also on podcast platforms, which was extremely advantageous.
(14:31):
But somebody does not have to be on the radio
to have a podcast. They could podcast from home. They
could you know, put now that you have access to
the internet, you could broadcast anywhere. Now people on the radio,
they're very, very blessed, and I count my blessings every
day because we have networks that'll put it out into
people's cars, you know, carry it in cities, and are
(14:54):
very grateful for all the affiliates that do take the
show and the multiple cities that we're in. But in
terms of podcasting, now somebody could be online. They can
actually do videos and selfies and on Instagram and on
social media and then have their shall we say, following
an audience. And now Howard Stern, even though he is
(15:15):
one of the greats, starts to now not look that unique.
And you have many individuals out there that are very,
very entertaining. Nobody is again, Howard Stern isn't a class
of his own. I might not agree with him hunt
everything he says, but he's very talented and he knows
how to work the audience. Robin Gibbons, his team throughout
(15:38):
the years has been absolutely fantastic. So you know where
we are right now is the consumer is overwhelmed with
all the different entertainment that's out there, and you start
to find somebody that, you know, I like what they say,
I'm learning something from them. But what I teach you
(16:00):
radio wannabes or podcasters is you have to make sure
the consumer gets something out of your show. Are they
going to be entertained? Are you helping them fall asleep?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
See?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
That's what I think. I think my big audience are
those who can't take any more ambient because their doctor
cut them off, so they need something to fall asleep too. Hey,
you know what, I'll take it if my show puts
you to sleep, he leah. But what is somebody getting
from you? Are they getting the news in a format
that they like, Are they getting advice? Are they feeling validated.
(16:38):
One thing I did with my show early on, and
I did this because I did this with my patients
and with students, is I didn't want to stand on
a soapbox saying do this, do this, do this, you
don't want to colonoscopy? What's wrong with you? Instead, I'm like, hey,
I've had a colonoscopy. This was my experience. I don't
blame you for being hesitant. Now, I went through this,
(16:59):
I went through these things. I get you and having
and that probably is what I attribute most of my
original success too. Was you have a doctor that's talking
about hemorrhoids, that's talking about gas, that's talking about you know,
teeth and not wanting a dental flass and building a
(17:20):
plaque and other things, and they're like, wait a second,
the doctor's a real person. She deals with marital issues
just like we do. Yeah, she has very And people
don't want to just look at somebody who's a superstar.
Yeah they I mean they might you know, Beyonce, Taylor
Swift and all that, but they also want to relate.
And so Howard Stern has been pretty relatable and I
(17:44):
think he's still going to be in in entertainment whether
the show continues or not. I don't see him going away.
But you know, you have a lot of choices out there,
and the one thing that's happening is the quality of
talent getting diluted and you are listening to people who
aren't that good. You're watching shows that's stink and it's frustrating.
(18:09):
You know, one show I've been starting to watch is
The Shield Now I know that was old. It came
out in two thousand and two, but my kids were young.
I never time to watch it. And I'm watching this
and I'm like, that's a pretty good quality show. Now,
a lot of things on there are politically correct. That
show wouldn't fly these days, but it there was. You know,
you could see the writers put some work into it
(18:33):
in terms of storyline and plot and plot twists and
character development. Nowadays you don't see that. It's like an
assembly line of getting crap out because Netflix or whoever
needs to release it on a certain date. And I'm
just seeing quality stink. And that's what happens when you
have so much supply. And for those of you who
(18:58):
are thinking about starting a career and wanting to be
an influencer and all that, you know, what do you
have that other people like? Now, some people can say
but I'm funny. Everybody said I was funny. Everybody said
I had a great personality. They love my beard. I yeah,
But is that enough? You know, having a good personality
is one thing, but there's a lot of people with
great personality. There's so many talented people. What do you
(19:20):
have to offer? Do you have tips handyman tips do
you have do you know how to fix cars? Do
you know how to give relationship advice? Do you know
how to teach? Do you know you have to put
that you know into a format, into a program and
then market it so people know. Wait a second, I
(19:41):
like the way look look at these books Calculus for Dummies,
Spanish for Dummies, Medicine for Dummies. That was a brilliant
idea with that book line. Uh, because they they knew
how to attract somebody, and nobody thought, well if I
buy it, that means I'm a dummy. No, they're buying
(20:02):
it because I like the idea of being spoken to
in a way that I could learn it. I don't
want to just sit in class and be lectured to
by some PhD that is just mouthing off a bunch
of multisyllabic words. I make it understandable for me. That's
another thing that I always did with my patients. One
(20:23):
is because I don't know multi syllabic words. But two
these concepts are difficult, like diabetes, high blood pressure. How
do I break it down into a form that's palatable
for the brain. So good luck for those of you
wanting to, you know, go into radio. If Howard Stern
ends up not staying with XM serious XM, you have
one less blockbuster of a show to compete with. But
(20:48):
it's a tough world out there. One eight seven seven,
Doctor Alli, don't go away. Hey guys, it's Doctor Dahlia.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
All right, we are back on the Doctor Dollia Show
one eight seven seven Doctor Dolly one eight seven seven
d C d Ali. We have some breaking news. We
are being told that four people have been shot at
an army base in Georgia. Officials have now locked down
the surrounding area. An active shooter opened fire at Fort
Stewart Base around eleven am local time. Multiple casualties have
(22:36):
been reported. Is it is currently an active scene. They say.
The shooter struck the two abct area of Fort Stewart,
which includes the Wright and Evans Army airfield. They say,
according to Daily Mail, officials at local schools followed the
army base and locking down the area, but there is
no immediate threat, thank god to the schools. At this time,
(22:59):
we don't know exactly how many total victims, but we
are being told that at least four have been shot
in multiple casualties. We're going to keep you posted as
we get more information on this. Fort Stewart is a
US Army base around forty miles south of Savannah, Georgia.
It's home to the third Infantry Division. Governor Brian Kemp
(23:21):
said in a statement that he is remaining in a
close contact with law enforcement on the ground, and this
army hosts about ten thousand people, including soldiers and their family.
Local schools such as Button Gwynett Elementary, Joseph Martin Elementary,
and Snelson Golden Middle Schools are right now under lockdown.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
It is a.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Developing story and we will keep you posted. This article
caught my eye. You know how we talked about how
HHS and RFK Junior wants to relook at what is
happening in terms of Oregon donating and reports of individuals
not necessarily being candidates and still being alive at risk
(24:02):
of being harvested prematurely. Well, listen to this case. We
are being told that Daniella Gallegos feels really lucky to
be alive after her organs were almost taken by quote
pushy donor bosses when she fell into a coma in
twenty twenty two. Now she was thirty eight. At the
(24:25):
time she was homeless, suffered an unspecified medical emergency, and
doctors in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at Presbyterian Hospital allegedly told
her family she would never recover. The family agreed to
donate her organs. Preparations were made with Procurement Organization New
Mexico Donor Services. In her final days, they say, Galago's
(24:49):
family said saw tears in her eyes, so a sign
that they say, what of you know, well, she's crying,
she's tearing, She's shown some awareness. But they said that
the donation coordinators brushed it off, saying watery eyes was
just a reflex. On the day her organs were said
(25:11):
to be taken, one of Galagos's sisters said she was
adamant that she was still conscious and that she saw
her move while she was holding her hand. Then it
took Gallegos to blink her eyes in the pre surgical
room and to notify doctors that she was still conscious awake.
(25:39):
According to The New York Times, the organ coordinator in
the room told doctors that they should ply the patient
with morphine and move ahead anyway. Is that scary? Now?
This is being reported by The New York Times. Galagos's
doctor thankfully defied the coordinator's recommendation, took her out of surgery,
(26:08):
and she goes on to make a full recovery. Is
this crazy? Hospital workers told The New York Times that
they face pressure from New Mexico Donor Services to forge
ahead despite their doubts. Now, the Oregon Harvesting Organization said
they do not interfere with the medical decision making. They
(26:29):
said the hospitals are in charge of caring for patients. Well, then,
who was this person to say to dope them up
with morphine? In response, Presbyterian Hospitals said that Donor Services
was actually responsible for all aspects of the donation process,
and they've launched an investigation into Galagos's case. According to
an ICU of veteran ic unurse Neva Williams at the hospital,
(26:52):
she told The New York Times, they're so aggressive at sickening.
All they care about is getting organs, she says. Now
this has also been imparted by Daily Mail. New Mexico
Donor Services has been contacted, but I'm not sure what
their response has been. But this really turns my stomach
(27:13):
because we are hearing that individuals who want to as
a last gift to mankind and to earth, they're on
their deathbed or when they are about to leave and
technically dead, brain dead, they could still help us by
(27:33):
giving organs. And for those of you who are organ donors,
God bless you, those living organ donors, and those who
when you are deemed brain dead, planning on donating, God
bless you for that. But stories like this scare the
hell out of people. And I had patients. I would
ask patients, do you want to be an organ donor?
(27:55):
And patients would tell me years ago, oh, hell no,
because then they're not going to try to save my life.
And I'm like, no, that's not gonna happen. Doctors are
gonna want to save your life. I never know your
organ donation I was an er doc. I never knew
your organ donation status. I'm gonna save your life. But
these types of stories like what happened to Miss Gallegos
(28:17):
is what makes people think that they won't be able
to trust the system and that if they are designating
an organ donor, somebody might rush their death. That is
some scary stuff because that should not be the case
in Kentucky. A federal investigation this year found that the
state's organ procurement organization had quote ignored signs of increasing
(28:40):
consciousness amongst seventy three donors, including a man whose organs
were pursued even as he shook his head and pulled
his knees up to his chest. This is being reported
right by Daily Mail. Now, the organ harvesting industry does
have oversight. The federal government said they are going to
(29:01):
increase oversight. In fact, I think even under the Biden administration,
there was a hearing that happened I think last year
from another near missed patient, Anthony Hoover. Hoover was said
to be removed from life support as organs taken to
twenty twenty one woke up moments before. He suffered severe
neurological injuries, but survived the ordeal. So Kentucky as a result,
(29:26):
has put in place new policies to perform regular neurological
testing on patients, to scan for brain activity, and develop
ways for clinicians to pause donations when they see a
patient is improving. But something like this is an embarrassment
to the medical community. Hawkins, forty two years old, fell
(29:48):
into a coma. Misty Hawkins. She is another patient who
was found to be alive when doctors had already sawed
into her chest were being told she fell into a
coma after choking while eating. Spent weeks in the hospital.
Her mom had to make the decision of taking her
off life support. Her mother eventually decided to go ahead
and donate her organs. One hundred three minutes after Hawkins
(30:11):
was taken off life support, she was declared dead. The
surgeon starts to use a bone saw through the breastbone,
but discovered that her heart was still beating and she
appeared to be breathing. Now, now, okay, now that's on
the doctor. You aren't listening to the heart. You're not
(30:32):
evaluating their oughts at who declared her as dead. Now,
it could be well, heart might have stopped and then
it resumed, but thank god, hospital staff in this case
immediately stopped the procedure once they saw the donor's heart
was beating. Unfortunately, she passed away anyway. So there is
(30:54):
a huge demand for organs, but that should never lead
to unethical practices. And one thing that we doctors are
fighting is now this this theory and where hospitals won't
fight for you to live if you are going to
(31:17):
donate an organ or fight for you to go on
life support. The people tell me they feel like in
the waiting room the family is being coerced to not
institute the life support. Look, it'll be better for them,
They'll be at peace, they're not in pain. This is
the best time to let them go. You're not gonna
come up with a better time. And patients and families
are thinking to themselves, well, maybe I should consider it,
(31:40):
and that is not what the medical community is supposed
to do. Our job, if you want us to recessitate you,
is to resuscitate you and to do our best to
keep you alive and not take your organs out. If
you're supposed to be bring dead one eight seven seven,
doctor out. They don't go away.

All right, we are back on the show. Thank you
all for tuning in. One eight seven seven Doctor Dali
one eight seven seven D C D A L. I.
So the other day I was eating a bag of
cherries and I was getting thirsty, and rather than stopping
and drinking water, I just kept reaching into the bag
of cherries and I just kept reaching in, and I
(34:37):
finally had to stop myself, saying, I'm taking in all
these extra calories. Why don't I recognize that I'm thirsty? Yeah,
I'm eating to deal with thirst, drink the fluids, get
my fluids in. And summertime is a tricky time because
we're out there in the heat. It's scorching heat. Not
to mention we're still having a lot of stomach bugs
(34:58):
going on. And when I have patients that are dehydrated,
one of my go tos is pdlight to make sure
people replenish not only their fluids, but they're electrolytes. And
get this, there's a survey that has come out showing
a major gap in public awareness where only eight percent
of Americans can identify all the signs of dehydration. And
(35:20):
what's even more alarming is eighty six percent of patient
appearance are concerned about keeping their kids safe during this
extreme summer weather. Only eighty six what's going on with
the other fourteen percent? So I'm really excited about our
next guest, doctor Andy Lee Gonzalez. Andy Lee Gonzalez is
a registered licensed Registered Dietitian PhD scientists at Abbot, maker
(35:46):
of pdlight, to share hydration tips and help the whole
family enjoy everything summer has to offer, even on the
hottest days. Andy, thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 12 (35:57):
Thank you discatter golias for having me.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Oh my god, when we are so happy you're here.
So talk to us about dehydration.
Speaker 12 (36:05):
Yes, So simply put, dehydration is when your body's losing
more fluid than it's taking in. So through this process
you can lose key electrolytes like special minerals like sodium, potassium,
and chloride that help our bodies function properly. Some dehydration
risks that put us more at risk include record high
temperatures make us more prone to dehydration from sweating outdoors,
(36:28):
intense workouts, or even airplane travel due to the low
humidity in the airplane. Cavin and I get it. Living
in South Texas, I deal with heat year round. I'm
a mom of two active kids and a runner who
loves being in the outdoors. As a license registered dietician
at ABBOT, I learned how to hydrate properly, and I'm
(36:49):
so excited to share more with you today.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yeah. One thing I'm noticing patients do is they wait
until their urination goes down, or they wait until they
feel dry, or until they have a headache. And we
actually are getting dehydrated before we feel it. Talk to
us about some of the signs that can alert patients
into going, hey, I need to replenish my fluids, fiance,
(37:16):
that's a.
Speaker 12 (37:16):
Great question oftentimes, and signs that you want to want
to look out for are some of the things that
you mentioned. So feeling fatigued, busy, irritable, headaches, that dark
colored urine, or even dry mouth are all common symptoms,
but in children it is a little different. So parents
and caregivers want to look out for them playing less
than usual or urinating less frequently. And me too, I'm
(37:39):
always reminding my two kids that if they're already thirsty,
they're more likely already dehydrated, and so this is going
to be a good time to think about hydration. Getting
some watery in and also electrolytes, a science bought electrolyte
drink like Pedi Light, designed to help replenish fluids and
(38:00):
electrolytes for both kids and adults is a good option.
And so you know, we have some great options such
as our peter Light leader are pter Light powder packs,
or my kid's favorite, which are the freezer pops, which
are really greatful over the summer, and even I like
to use them, especially after a long run.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Exactly and I've been recommending the popsicles of the freezer
ones because when patients do have stomach viruses and they're
throwing up, they can't gulp their water, but it's a
great way for them to get their fluids in without
inducing vomiting. And so it's been a lifesaver. We're really
really grateful to Abbot and the survey. You know, talk
to us about some of these results of this survey.
Speaker 12 (38:43):
So Abbot conducted a survey with you Good to learn
how dehydration is impacting people in the US. The survey
found that over half of Americans will change their summer
outings to avoid high temperatures. They also found that ninety
two percent of adult in the survey couldn't identify the
common signs of dehydration. Furthermore, found that seventy five percent
(39:08):
of people are unaware of how frequently to drink water
in high temperatures. What this tells me is that more education,
more awareness is needed to better prepare people through all
these outdoor activities, especially around these high temperatures.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Absolutely, and our pets, we cannot forget our pets. A
lot of times, we change the water dish once a day,
and we don't realize that they know their intake is
important as well. So this was fantastic. Andy, talk to
us about any other tips that you have.
Speaker 12 (39:41):
So having the right hydration plan in place is so
important to enjoy all things summer, especially around these high temperatures.
So top three things to consider is know the signs
of dehydration is the most important life I mentioned earlier.
Doing you know that headache or fatigue are all important signs. Second,
(40:02):
you want to pregain your hydration plan is another way
to be proactive. If you know or you're planning to
be outside in the heat for long periods, make sure
that you're hydrating before leaving the house. So you want
to be drinking fluids like water and electrolyte like peed
light throughout the day to be again proactive as far
as that hydration. And then also you can include foods
(40:26):
such as fruits and vegetables like cucumber, strawberries, watermelon that
can be a build an add on to that hydration plan.
And then lastly, you want to plan for those cooling breaks,
so you want to bring a sunshade or an umbrella possible,
or find a place to get out of the direct
stun if you're going to be outdoors and taking those
(40:47):
regular breaks are going to help your body temperature regulate itself,
especially around these high temperatures that we're all experiencing exactly.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
And with kids going back to school, if teachers, you know,
start to become overwhelmed and you feel your child needs
to hydrate more, talk to them about being able to
bring you know, some of their Pedia lighte to school
or in their backpack so that they could hydrate on
their own if they don't get the breaks that they
need during school.
Speaker 12 (41:17):
Yeah, so the hydration powder packs are a really great option,
especially we're trying to get that hydration in throughout the day.
That one is simple, it's easy, it's convenient, you can
throw it in your backpack or your purse, and again
it's just a great way to be proactive specifically to
reduce that risk for dehydration.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Wonderful, Andy Lee Gonzalez. We love that you came on.
Where can my listeners go for more information?
Speaker 12 (41:41):

Thank you so much better. Grania for having me today.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
One eight seven seven Docodolli one eight seven seven Doc
d Ali. Yeah, I am blown away. I've even made
the same mistake myself. You know, I've always grown up
in the Southern States, and so I would have headaches
and I'm thinking, are they menstrual headaches? Are they migraines?
I drink some water and they start to resolve. How
many of our headaches are are are hydration related or
(42:30):
dehydration related? You know, dry eyes, bad breath, teeth issues,
gum issues. We have to keep our hydration up. We
don't want to overhydrate. Make sure you talk to your
medical provider about safe amounts. But I always go to
the water bottles when I have to remember to increase
the electrolytes so PD light I recommend especially to patients
(42:54):
who I feel are dehydrated. But I like the idea
of preventing hydration and making sure you're getting what you
need in terms of your electrolytes, very very important. Don't
