1. Observations I made this week… A majority of patients I saw this week had contracted COVID over the holidays. Symptoms varied wildly, including one, some, or all, of the following: Sore throat, fever, body aches, sinus congestion, runny nose, cough, headache, fatigue, loss of taste and/or smell. Several stated that they knew of friends…

1. Podcast EVERYONE needs to listen to… This podcast is being touted as controversial on the internet. YouTube took it down. It’s Joe Rogan interviewing Dr. Peter McCullough.

These articles are the same as the blogs I post every Tuesday on my site (drbizjak.com). This week, the paper WOULD NOT publish my article,…
1. Healthier snack I have been looking for… Nuts are a healthy snack, and I eat quite a bit of them. I prefer roasted over raw nuts. Someone recently pointed out how roasted nuts can be dry roasted or oil roasted. When oil roasted, the oil used is often from unhealthy vegetable oils, such as…
1. Cartoon that made me laugh this week… 2. Something I’ve added to my daily regimen… We started drinking limeade every day. What is limeade??? A full lime squeezed into 12 ounces of water and 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of Himalayan salt. There are many reasons to include this into your daily routine, but what…
