Using Food in the Fight Against COVID-19

Dr. Baxter Montgomery is using food in the fight against the coronavirus! He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™ from the virtual Fairfax Veg Fest to talk about the effects he's seeing of prescribing a healthy diet in conjunction with state-of-the-art medicine for patients with COVID-19.   Dr. Montgomery also details the remarkable recovery of one particular patient who developed double pneumonia during their bout with the coronavirus and has already laced up their sneakers to resume running.   Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Vanita Rahman answer your nutrition and coronavirus questions as we open up the doctor's mailbag! One comes from a COVID-19 survivor!   Among the questions answered:   How long does a carrier of COVID-19 remain contagious? How do they determine whether a person develops immunity to the coronavirus? Is there such a thing as good fats and bad fats? Can a vegan diet cause hair loss? Does the coronavirus spread through air conditioners in restaurants and on airplanes?   If you would like to submit a question for the doctor please tweet @ChuckCarrollWLC or @PCRM using the hashtag #ExamRoomPodcast.   Schedule a telemedicine appointment with doctors and dietitians at Barnard Medical Center. Available to residents of the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, Arizona, California, Colorado, New York, Missouri, and Massachusetts.   — — — Dr. Montgomery Nutrition Boot Camp Use promo code FairfaxVF to receive $100 off https://bit.ly/NutriBootCamp — — — Chuck Carroll Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/PCRMFacebook — — — Barnard Medical Center Telemedicine Schedule Appointment: https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed — — — COVID-19 Resources PCRM: https://bit.ly/PCRMcovid CDC: https://bit.ly/33DXgyF WHO: https://bit.ly/33BSeTo COVID-19 Global Map: https://bit.ly/CVID19map   Share the Show   Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or many other podcast providers.
