"Rest, drink fluids, and you will get over it"
That is what most people are being told when they have been diagnosed with Long Covid.
With many of these cases of Long-covid lasting months to years; that advice is not helpful or empowering.
Fortunately, there are more holistic approaches such as the ones discussed by my guest Dr. Carla Kuon; a medical doctor and author of
The LONG COVID Solution: A holistic, integrative approach to post viral recovery
This book looks at the underlying factors that need to be addressed in long covid such as gut health, mast cell activation, immune balance, and brain/stress balance. It is an actionable guide for those dealing with or caring for Long covid.
We discuss some of the pillars of the long covid in this discussion such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune imbalance.
I first met Dr. Kuon through the Cogence Immunology course that is taught by Dr. Samuel Yannuck
Her background in Oncology and Immunology; made her well-equipped to condense much that we have learned since 2020 in how to approach Long-Covid. Plus she has long worked with other post-viral conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
I think you will enjoy this discussion and gain some actionable insight.
