The Dr. Terri Show is presented by Evexias Health Solutions, for more visit: https://www.evexias.com/ --- Hey everybody, welcome back to The Dr. Terri Show! Is COVID still a thing??? Well we may not be in the midst of a global pandemic, but that doesn't mean that what you are experiencing might not still be COVID related. Today, we’re diving into a critical yet often misunderstood topic: COVID long-haul syndrome. Joining me is my friend and expert practitioner, Jim LaValle, to unravel the complexities of this global phenomenon. From lingering symptoms to innovative approaches for recovery, this conversation is packed with insights to empower your health journey. COVID long-haul, or post-acute sequelae of COVID-19, has left many clinicians and patients grappling with unexplained symptoms like chronic fatigue, heart palpitations, brain fog, and even diabetes. But what causes these symptoms, and how can they be addressed effectively? Jim LaValle brings his extensive knowledge and practical solutions to this growing issue. Here’s what we cover in this episode: What is COVID long-haul? Learn about the underlying mechanisms, including lingering inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and immune dysregulation, that contribute to long-haul symptoms. The surprising faces of long-haul COVID: We discuss real-life cases, from a young, healthy bodybuilder experiencing heart issues to individuals developing diabetes or recurrent viral infections post-COVID. Why it’s not just about being “unhealthy”: Contrary to common belief, long COVID can affect anyone, even those who appear healthy. We explore why relatively healthy individuals are struggling with these unexplained symptoms. The role of spike proteins and inflammation: Discover how lingering spike proteins and chronic inflammation can disrupt your body’s ability to recover, leading to long-term issues like heart rhythm abnormalities, gut dysbiosis, and more. A closer look at cancer and chronic disease risks: We discuss the alarming uptick in cancer cases and the potential links to COVID’s opportunistic effects on immune function and inflammation. Throughout the episode, Jim and I share personal stories, groundbreaking studies, and practical insights to help you understand and navigate the complexities of long COVID. Whether you’re dealing with unexplained symptoms, supporting a loved one, or just curious about this pressing issue, this episode is a must-listen. And don’t worry—this is just part one of our conversation! In the next episode, we’ll dive into actionable strategies for prevention and treatment.
