Long COVID

Long COVID is a complex postviral syndrome involving persistent immune activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, autonomic dysregulation, coagulation abnormalities, chronic inflammation, and viral reactivation. This category focuses on research-based insights and clinical strategies for understanding and supporting individuals with Long COVID.

Here you’ll find discussions of biological mechanisms, diagnostic considerations, treatment options, and overlapping conditions such as MCAS, dysautonomia, PEM, and chronic infections. I explore practical functional medicine strategies to help patients recover stability, energy, cognition, and quality of life using a systems-based, root-cause approach.

Whether you’re navigating Long COVID personally or treating patients with persistent post-COVID symptoms, this category provides clear, actionable guidance grounded in current science.
