Summary

There are so many questions about how coronavirus can impact our health, and rightfully so. This novel virus has completely changed the way we function as a society and brought about a feeling of uncertainty most of us haven’t ever experienced. But we’re in this together. There is, of course, a wide range of common concerns—from how to protect ourselves and families to what kinds of treatment options exist—but also many new conversations popping up around what supplements we can safely trust for immune strength, if it’s safe to go outdoors, how the virus attaches to surfaces, and so much more.

Last week I was lucky enough to sit down with Dr. Patrick Hanaway for a video-call to talk about these important questions from a Functional Medicine perspective. Dr. Hanaway is the Senior Advisor to the Institute for Functional Medicine, their COVID-19 Task Force Coordinator, and Co-Chair of the IFM Expert Advisory Board. In case you missed it, we’re sharing that as the latest episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy.

*For context, this interview was recorded on April 8, 2020.

In this episode, Dr. Hyman and Dr. Hanaway discuss:

The role of supplements in treating COVID-19 and boosting your immune system

What we know about taking things like vitamin D, elderberry, zinc, and other compounds to protect against COVID-19

Is IV ozone an effective treatment option for COVID-19?

Why what you eat is more essential than ever

Is intermittent fasting or the ketogenic diet a good way to boost immunity?

The potential effectiveness of using hot-cold interaction, such as sauna, to protect against COVID-19

How long is a person still contagious after having the virus and how long does antibody immunity last?

Maintaining practices to ground yourself during this time

0:00.0	Hey everybody, it's Dr. Mark Heim in here.
0:02.4	I know we're all feeling a bit concerned and maybe even confused about the flood of daily information regarding the coronavirus.
0:09.6	I want to help you feel more informed and I want to help you feel more empowered to take care of your own health during this time.
0:15.2	And that's really why I teamed up with my friend and colleague Dr. Patrick Hanaway,
0:20.0	who's the coordinator of the Institute for Functional Medicine's COVID-19 Task Force
0:26.0	for a webinar and a question-to-answer session that I wanted to share with you today is a special episode of the Dr's Pharmacy.
0:32.0	So here it is and thanks for tuning in.
0:38.8	So I'm Dr. Mark Heim in. I'm a functional medicine physician. I'm the head of strategy and innovation at Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine.
0:46.0	And Patrick Hanaway is a close friend and colleague. We've been both in the functional medicine realm for over a couple of decades now.
0:53.0	And Patrick and I started the Center for Functional Medicine in Cleveland six years ago.
0:57.4	And now Patrick is the advisor, senior advisor to the CEO of the Institute for Functional Medicine.
1:04.6	And he's the coordinator of the mid-19 Task Force for the Institute for Functional Medicine.
1:11.0	And we thought we'd have a Q&A on COVID because people are so confused about what's going on.
1:15.8	They're so distraught about different things they're hearing in the news and trying to make sense of all the confusion.
1:21.4	And I think as providers, as healthcare workers, we are also trying to sift through the data and separate the wheat from the chaff and make sense of what's happening, which is not easy as you can imagine.
1:33.4	Because there's a lot of noise, there's a lot of hype and we want to try to find out what is true, what is not true, and how to actually sort through the levels of evidence about what is out there for us to do to protect ourselves from getting COVID-19 to protect her families.
1:50.6	So just a background a little bit for where things are at today is April 8th.
1:57.0	There are one and a half million cases to date. There are a million and a half cases. There are about 419,000 of those cases in the United States.
2:06.6	And unfortunately, we are the number one location by far.
2:13.0	And there are about 87,000 deaths globally, 317,000 people have recovered.
2:21.8	What's interesting is that South Korea and the United States both had their first COVID-19 case on the same day.
2:28.2	They now have 10,000 cases. We have 419,000 cases. And that's because they were very, very aggressive and early testing in tracing of contacts, identifying contacts and cases.
