Long Covid: Navigating the Path to Recovery

When "Recovered" Doesn't Feel Like Recovery

For many, the acute phase of COVID-19 passes in a week or two. But for others, the symptoms linger for months—or even years. This is known as Long Covid (PASC). It is characterized by a "relapsing-remitting" pattern where you feel better for a few days, only to be hit by a "crash" of fatigue and brain fog.

Common Long Covid symptoms include:

  • Debilitating Fatigue: A profound lack of energy that rest doesn't fix.
  • Neurological "Brain Fog": Difficulty concentrating, memory gaps, and "word-finding" struggles.
  • Respiratory & Cardiac: Lingering shortness of breath or "racing heart" (palpitations).
  • Digestive Shifts: New sensitivities, bloating, or nausea.
  • Systemic Aches: Joint pain, muscle weakness, and sleep disturbances.


The Root Causes: Why Symptoms Linger

Long Covid is not "in your head." It is a complex physiological state likely caused by:

  • Immune Dysregulation: Your immune system remains "switched on" long after the virus has gone.
  • Mitochondrial Dysfunction: The "power plants" in your cells have been damaged, leading to chronic energy depletion.
  • Persistent Inflammation: Systemic inflammation affecting the nervous and vascular systems.
  • Gut Microbiome Disruption: The virus can significantly alter your gut bacteria, which in turn affects your immune resilience.


Functional Investigation: Finding Your Triggers

We don't just treat the fatigue; we investigate the biological systems that are struggling to reset.

  • GI Mapping: Since a huge portion of your immune system resides in the gut, we use this DNA-based stool test to identify the dysbiosis or "leaky gut" that may be fueling systemic inflammation.
  • HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis): Chronic viral stress depletes vital minerals. We use HTMA to assess your "metabolic fire" and see if minerals like Zinc, Magnesium, and Potassium need urgent replenishment.
  • EndoMap: Long Covid often "crashes" the adrenal system. We map your cortisol rhythms and hormone metabolites to see if adrenal exhaustion is the cause of your "wired but tired" feeling.
  • Genetic Testing: We look for specific markers (like MTHFR) that might be hindering your body’s ability to detoxify viral by-products and manage inflammation.
  • AVATAR Bio-Energetic Scanning: This provides a real-time assessment of which organ systems are under the most stress, helping us prioritize your treatment.


Our Comprehensive Recovery Strategy

Recovery from Long Covid is a marathon, not a sprint. Our goal is to stabilize your system and gradually rebuild your resilience.

  • Mitochondrial Support: Using targeted nutrients to "re-light" your cellular energy.
  • Immune Modulation: Using Handcrafted Herbal Medicine to calm an overactive immune response without suppressing it.
  • Vagus Nerve & Nervous System Support: Helping your body move out of "fight or flight" and back into "rest and digest."
  • Gut-Lung Axis Restoration: Repairing the microbiome to support overall systemic health.
