would we know if someone's in severe dehydration and i thought oh my gosh people don't can't even recognize it i will tell you this dehydration can kill very very quickly it kills young people and old people in particular i would say old people faster of course because their reserves are much lower they don't have as many active stem cells they don't have the healing benefits of youth things get real medicalized real fast is my point You are tuned into the Dr. Tina Show with Dr. Tina Moore. For more, visit drtina.com. Hey guys, on this episode of the Dr. Tina Show, I am going solo from a hotel in Beaverton, Oregon. I am here. I had to fly in on an emergency to help my mom.
What are the signs of severe dehydration?
And I think what happened with her and this situation is such an important story to tell you because it might save you or your loved ones. I'm going to preface with the fact that this is not medical advice.
What role do electrolytes play in hydration?
I am not an ER physician. I am not a gerontologist. I am not a pediatrician. I am a naturopathic doctor and I have had ample experience for some reason in this realm. We're going to be talking about severe dehydration and what can happen to you and how you can pull you or your loved one out of it so that you can think straight and get the medical care that you so desperately need when this strikes.
Why might someone not feel thirsty even when dehydrated?
So that's going to be the episode today. I don't have a great mic set up. I don't have a great camera set up. And so we're just going to make do and bootstrap this together as my podcast producer joked.
When should you go to the ER for dehydration?
He and I have been together since the beginning and we used to just... God, the quality of things was... he always made it sound great but you know you can only polish a turd so much so please bear with me but i think this really is something that nobody talks about and a lot of people don't understand because i posted about it on my instagram stories last night and i got flooded with a bunch of questions from people saying well how would we know if someone's in severe dehydration and i thought oh my gosh people don't can't even recognize it so we're going to talk about it today and again i'm not giving you
How can you rehydrate quickly in an emergency?
this is not medical advice. Do not use this instead of, okay? But sometimes we need to buy time. We need to buy a few minutes. We need to buy a few hours. And sometimes we have situations where we can't get to an ER. We can't afford an ER.
What practical tips can help during a dehydration emergency?
Maybe the ER is way too far away. We have stubborn parents.
How did the host help their mom during a dehydration crisis?
We all have stubborn parents, it seems, who just say, leave me alone. Let me die. I mean, it's terrible, but that's kind of what happens. And so My mom has given me permission to talk about this. I'm not going to go into too much detail except tell you that she experienced a bout of severe dehydration during an illness recently. And I'm going to share with you what that looks like in general. So this can happen most readily to children and to old people. I'll tell you how I think about medicine. When I think of adults, I think of dogs. And when I think of kids and elderly people, I think of cats. And let me explain. I understand dogs. I understand their physiology. I understand their behavior. I understand how to help them.
I am amazing. I'm like a part-time, I joke that I'm a part-time veterinarian. I can't take care of your animals, but I take really good care of my animals with naturopathic medicine. And I'm really good at it. And I'm really good at helping them when we need to. And with allopathic medicine as well. I'm really good with adults. I'm not great with elderly and I'm not great with kids because they are like aliens. They have the same, but the one thing that makes it simple is the same rules apply to both. Meaning, and the cats are like aliens to me too. I don't have a clue. And when someone says, what do I do about my cat who's throwing up or whatever? I'm like, I have no idea. I do not understand cats. But I can tell you that young folks and older folks have a real hard time understanding
maintaining their temperature. They have a real hard time maintaining their hydration status. They get cold easily.
