Information and FAQs about Covid-19, Coronavirus with Dr. Ana Maria Temple A Well + Nourished Soul
-
- Society & Culture
This is a special episode of the Well + Nourished podcast to discuss Covid-19/coronavirus. Today we are welcoming Dr. Ana Maria Temple back to discuss this virus and it’s impact on our world. Currently, it is March 19th, 2020, and we are in a phase of social distancing and quarantine. Schools are cancelled for now, businesses are closing temporarily, and the anxiety is high. This is a very serious time, and we want to get as much information out to you as possible! Dr. Temple is a holistic pediatrician and leader in the functional medical community. She has been researching coronavirus nonstop, has appeared on the news many times already, and is trying to get as many facts out there as possible. There has been some panic and misinformation in the mainstream media, and people have (of course) felt extreme fear around this. Our goal with this episode is to give you truth and answers to questions in the midst of a scary time.
Dr. Temple’s instagram posts have been extremely helpful as well. She has shared a wealth of information there, including lots of supplement and healthy food information.

Here are the non-profits that we mentioned during the show, who are helping supply meals to families who typically rely on breakfasts and lunches provided by the public school system:
(These are the branches local to the Charlotte area, but Second Harvest Food Bank has locations around the country. You can also check with your local public school, and churches, to see how you can help).
Second Harvest Metrolina - you can donate money online to help pay for a week or more of meals for a family!
Bags of Hope
*One question we did not get to during the episode is whether or not the change of seasons, and hot weather, could help reduce the spread of coronavirus. Dr. Temple said that if it was going to behave like influenza, it would seem like the numbers would go down as the temperatures increase outside. However, so far it is behaving differently than the flu, so we cannot say for sure.
