[00:00:00] You.
[00:00:04] Hello everybody. I am coming on to say that I am super excited about the next couple of months. Season seven is launching and it's going to be a very diverse season. There's so much to talk about and I want to make sure that you get all of the most important and relevant health news at the right time. This season is going to be bumper packed full of loads of useful information. I'll be covering everything from probiotics, including product reviews. I'll be chatting about scabies and why it's so important to know about that right now and what the problem is in Ireland. I'll also be chatting all about measles. I'll be trying to bring you that episode pretty quickly because there's been outbreaks of measles in the UK and generally what happens there will happen here. Measles is a really serious illness and I just really encourage anyone while you're waiting for the podcast episode to come out to try and make sure your child is up to date with their mmOr. I'll be giving you remedies for nasal congestion in adults. I'll also be discussing caffeine and whether coffee is good for you or not, and if so, how much. I'll be chatting about salt therapy and the benefits of salt therapy for respiratory health, including my sponsor's product, the salon plus, but also including all of the different type of saline rinses that you can get and whether you should be using them on a regular basis or not. There'll be an episode on parenting and the perimenopause and lots, lots more. In general, I'll be keeping you up to date with everything you need to know to keep your family healthy and well. As we journey from winter into spring, the podcasts will be released every Friday morning. Sometimes you'll get a bonus episode, and that's if I feel that there's a lot going on and that could be released any day of the week. So definitely follow or subscribe to this show to keep up to date and see all the news when it comes out first. The first episode in the new season will be out. Let me check my calendar will be out on Friday the 26 January. I'm so grateful that salon plus have decided to support me once more. I'm really fussy about who I work with. So while yes, salon plus are sponsoring me, yes, you will absolutely hear me talk a lot about their product. But actually that happened six or seven years ago, way before I had a podcast or anything to be sponsored. I am just passionate about this product because anytime that you can have a natural remedy, do the job and keep symptoms at bay, it's definitely my preferred choice. Obviously, sometimes medication is very important, and as a community pharmacist, I am one of the first people to acknowledge that. But respiratory health is one of those things that can have lingering symptoms which can cause a lot of discomfort. It can cause problems with snoring, sinusitis, chronic cough, nasal drip, hay fever, all these kinds of conditions which can be relieved with something as natural and as simple as the salon plus. And that means you get a better quality sleep so you're better able to go about and tackle your day. It's really effective for conditions like asthma and COPD and lots of other medical conditions, but I'll talk more about it in a later episode. Really, I'm just trying to say that this is a product that I love and it definitely has a place on my pharmacy shelves and will for a long time. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to catching up with you all and giving you lots of new, fresh episodes. Do please follow me over on Wondercare, underscore iRL on Instagram, because often I'll put up question boxes if I want your input on an episode. Because sometimes it's best to hear what you want to hear about or to hear your experiences or answer your questions so that I can help you out with that. Feel free to leave a voice note or text whatever you like. If you want to leave a voice note, I can use the audio from that in the podcast without identifying you in the episode. So don't worry, I won't be name calling. Your comment will remain anonymous, so just send me a DM with a voice note for any questions that you'd like answered on the pod. I'm so excited to be back. I have had a very busy, crazy Christmas and obviously I've still been popping episodes out, but it has been much more haphazard. I will be refreshing some old episodes and putting them out in addition to the new ones, and that is because a lot of the information needs to be updated. So, for example, you'll soon have one about how to treat flu in adults and kids, all that kind of thing. So just bringing the seasonal content into this year's context and refreshing it so that you have the most up to date evidence. But yeah, I hope you're all keeping well and I'll talk to you soon.
