Healing Long-Covid With Functional Medicine with Dr. Leo Galland

This episode is brought to you by Mitopure, Beekeeper’s Naturals,
LMNT, and Nordic Naturals. Approximately 20 million people are
suffering from prolonged post-covid symptoms, with cases increasing
daily. In many people, lingering symptoms are still present (or
reoccur) 6 to 9 months after Covid infection. While Covid-19 was
originally viewed as a respiratory disease, we’ve now gained a new
understanding of its impact on our blood vessels and how that
affects the entire body. Among the most common lasting symptoms are
fatigue, body aches, difficulty breathing, racing heart, vomiting,
diarrhea, and constipation.  My guest today, Dr. Leo Galland,
is one of the most incredible resources on Covid and long-Covid
syndrome and is someone who has had an immense impact on my own
health and my career in Functional Medicine. Dr. Galland is a
board-certified internist, an international best-selling author,
and one of the founders of Functional Medicine. Since the onset of
the pandemic, he has devoted most of his time to research on
Covid-19 and to the education of other health practitioners in
understanding the biology of the disease. He has created a series
of documents and videos on the long Covid syndrome intended for the
general public and for health professionals. His latest
publication, Long Covid: Prevention and Treatment, is available on
his website. This episode is brought to you by Mitopure,
