Description

Winter in Iowa doesn't play around, and this episode of The Waukee Podcast takes on two things we all dread this time of year: illness and icy roads. Dr. Josh Kindt from The Iowa Clinic joins host Leisa to explain what's circulating right now—from RSV and Influenza to lingering colds—and how to tell when symptoms are mild versus when medical care may be needed, especially for children and the elderly. He also shares everyday comfort strategies for congested infants, including a helpful at-home tool parents often swear by, the NoseFrida nasal aspirator.

Heather Behrens follows with a helpful, behind-the-scenes look at how the City of Waukee handles winter weather, including snow-removal protocols and what residents should expect when storms roll in. And because winter isn't all survival mode, Jamie Thompson closes out the episode with a full lineup of Christmas activities, shopping spots, and community events in Waukee and beyond to keep the season merry. It's practical, local, and just what you need as winter settles in.
