The Autoimmune RESET
Managing Symptoms of Long COVID with Natural Therapies
In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET podcast, VJ explores the complexities of long COVID, a condition that leaves many individuals struggling with lingering symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and respiratory issues.
VJ dives deep into the root causes, including immune dysregulation, oxidative stress, and viral reactivation. You’ll learn how an unbalanced internal terrain, chronic stress, and viral persistence can make some people more vulnerable to long COVID than others.
VJ also discusses how the gut and lung barriers are affected, how bacteria can translocate, and the inflammatory impact of the spike protein. You’ll hear about practical, evidence-based dietary recommendations, including pomegranate extract, NAC, lysine, Saccharomyces boulardii, and antiviral foods that can support recovery.
Additionally, we explore the Trio test, which screens for viral reactivation in long COVID, and the importance of managing stress and improving sleep quality with actionable biohacks like magnesium supplementation and cold therapy.
Join VJ as she breaks down the science behind long COVID and share strategies to help manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery through nutrition and lifestyle changes.
