5 Key Lessons from My Battle with Acute Covid-19

Updated: Oct 23



A few weeks ago I tested positive for Covid-19. My initial symptoms were severe and included crushing fatigue, body aches and nausea. However, by implementing the treament interventions I use with my patients, I steadily recovered and felt normal within a week.


From this experience I've learned 5 important lessons:

Lesson 1: The Coronavirus is a bad ass, nasty virus


Scientists and government agencies remain divided on the origins of SARS-CoV2. Some believe it originated by jumping from one species to another in the wet markets of Wuhan, China. Others are certain it escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology possessing a genetically modified increase in virulence. Is it a coincidence they were working on a gain-of-function coronavirus just before the pandemic began? In the video, you will learn what I believe to be the truth.


Lesson 2: Building Resilience is Key


Once we contract a serious infection, we rely on the strength and resilience of our immune system to fight it off. If the infection is especially severe, it is the resilience generated by our nutritional status, muscle mass, gut health, mitochondrial health and endocrine health at the time we become infected that pulls us through. In the video, I talk about the importance of resilience.


Strength Within

Lesson 3: Your Body Has a Finite Amount of Energy


The reason a person with an infection needs to climb into bed at the exclusion of all other activities is that the immune system requires all your energy. Fighting an infection is an energy-draining activity, often coming at the expense of your brain (headaches and brain fog), your gut (nausea and anroexia), and your adrenal glands (dizziness and fatigue). Energy can be channelled toward your immune system with proper rest.


Lesson 4: My Treatment Recommendations Work


During the video I provide a list of recommendations for treating acute coronavirus infection that has proven successful in helping all my patients overcome the infection without complication.


Lesson 5: Rest More Than You Think You Need To


The most common story I'm told by patients with Long Covid is that they thought they had improved enough to resume their normall activities, only to crash hard several weeks later, and develop disabling symptoms. Listen to my recommendations on how to avoid this scenario and recover completely!
