How a Bad Flu Season Could Impact You This Winter

podcast November 19, 2025

Background

💬 “Yes, you can end up in the hospital if you’ve got the flu. Yes, it can be that bad.”

⚡ In this episode, I’m diving back into the flu’s deadly potential, just like that brutal 2017-2018 season that claimed 80,000 lives, and I’m warning you about how this winter could be a recipe for disaster with less vaccinations, more travel, and COVID still lurking. Do not downplay it—I’ve seen it hit my own kids and patients hard, and we can’t let it overwhelm our healthcare system again.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

  • Why the flu can tag-team with bacterial infections and lead to serious complications like rhabdomyolysis and pneumonia
  • How getting vaccinated early can slash your risk of severe illness by up to 60%
  • The myths that trip people up (like thinking you’re too healthy for a flu shot or that antibiotics cure the flu)
  • What to pack in your sick day kit to stay ahead of the game
  • How to spot warning signs and protect your at-risk loved ones before it’s too late
