Follow the show: Health Discovered

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is often thought of as a childhood illness, but it poses a significant threat to older adults as well. According to the CDC, RSV infected approximately 65 million people globally last year, leading to an estimated 160,000 hospitalizations among adults aged 60 and older. What does RSV look like in adults, and what symptoms should you be vigilant about? In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett-Helaire, a renowned vaccinologist and assistant professor at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, who breaks down the risks, ongoing vaccine development, and prevention strategies for vulnerable populations, particularly older adults. We also hear from Irene, who, at 69-years of age, experienced severe, unfamiliar, cold-like symptoms that ultimately led to an unexpected RSV diagnosis.

Introducing Travel Legend Rick Steves from Zero To Travel Podcast.

Follow the show: Zero To Travel Podcast

Traveling abroad had such an impact on Rick early on, that he chose to dedicate his life to helping others see the world.

In 1976, he launched Rick Steves’ Europe and, over time, built a travel empire along with a community of raving fans (including me!). His best-selling guidebook series, public television show, public radio show, syndicated travel column, small group tours, free resources, and other media all align with his core mission to help people get out and travel Europe.

Rick has had a huge influence on me, both personally and professionally. His recommendations helped shape some of my early trips to Europe, ultimately leading to my life of travel. Rick also showed me it was possible to craft a career around my passion for helping others travel the world.

Needless to say, he’s been a dream guest for me, and it was an absolute honor to chat with him and share this conversation with you today.

What was your biggest takeaway from this episode? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you will share them by sending me an audio message.

We're republishing this incredible interview with Rick Steves to send him some love after his recent diagnosis.
