This episode is based on an important research update on COVID-19 and heart health. Recent research led by Dr. Chiara Giannarelli of NYU Grossman School of Medicine has made significant findings concerning the link between COVID-19 and cardiovascular complications. Key Insights: 🔹 SARS-CoV-2 virus has been found to directly target and infiltrate arterial plaques in coronary arteries, triggering an inflammatory response. 🔹 This direct infection can lead to cardiovascular manifestations, such as heart attacks, by promoting plaque inflammation and rupture. 🔹 The study suggests that the virus creates an inflammatory environment that could exacerbate plaque growth, potentially obstructing blood flow to vital organs. 🔹 Findings shed light on a potential connection between pre-existing heart conditions and long COVID symptoms. It's crucial for everyone, especially those with cardiovascular risks, to be informed and take necessary precautions.

We'll focus on the connection between the tiny living things in our digestive tracts (gut microbiota) and Long COVID, and explain how a healthy gut might be really important for our overall health, especially after getting over a SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) infection. First off, we'll try to define Long COVID and share some shocking facts about how many people it affects. Then, we'll chat about some theories on what might cause Long COVID, like issues with the immune system, changes in the gut microbiota, autoimmune responses, problems with blood clotting, and messed up signals in the nervous system. We'll also dive deeper into why the gut microbiota is so important, and its different roles. We'll discuss gut dysbiosis, which is when the balance of the living things in our gut gets thrown off, and how it can make us more likely to get sick with respiratory diseases and mess with our immune response. We'll talk about how gut dysbiosis might play a part in Long COVID, especially its effects on the nervous system, and how inflammation can mess with the metabolism of an important substance called tryptophan. Next, we'll discuss how functional medicine may help fix the balance of the gut microbiota, using things like prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, and why what we eat matters, including foods rich in polyphenols. We'll talk about how certain types of Bifidobacterium longum (a good bacteria in our gut) might help improve our health markers, and discuss exciting new treatments like microbiota transplantation. Come along on this journey as we look into how functional medicine might help manage Long COVID by focusing on our gut health. If you're curious about functional medicine, gut health, and how to manage Long COVID, this episode is a must-listen!

Keys to Improving Hashimoto's and Autoimmune Conditions
This podcast covers the keys to improving Hashimoto's and autoimmune conditions. We will look at the problem of autoimmunity and the leading theory behind how autoimmune conditions are environmentally triggered. We'll also discuss the three key factors behind environmentally-induced autoimmunity. Our discussion will revolve around optimizing health through a functional medicine lens. If you're not familiar with Functional Medicine, it is a systems biology-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Functional Medicine is a complementary approach to traditional allopathic health care that incorporates dietary, lifestyle, and nutritional supplementation to support optimal physiology.
