Summary

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, Beekeeper’s Naturals, LMNT, and Nordic Naturals.

0:00.0	Coming up on this episode of the doctor's pharmacy.
0:03.5	How did COVID-19 change your body, impact your physiology, and how is that relevant to your present state of health and the health problems that you have?
0:16.2	Hey everyone, it's Dr. Mark. I've been working hard on my book, Young Forever.
0:20.5	I'm super excited and proud of this book because it takes my decades of functional medicine experience and distills it into a program.
0:26.9	Anyone can adopt to reverse the effects of aging.
0:29.5	As I've dug into the research on aging while writing my book, one thing has become super clear.
0:34.5	We need to take care of our mitochondria. These are our cellular energy factories.
0:40.2	Now as we age and we eat too much and we sit our desks and are exposed to too many toxins, our mitochondria, deteriorate and our bodies suffer.
0:48.3	And that is why I'm happy to recommend a mitochondria from timeline nutrition, a product that specifically regenerates mitochondria and supports cellular energy production.
0:58.5	Mitochepure clears away the damaged mitochondria from ourselves and supports the growth of new healthy mitochondria.
1:05.6	And as an added bonus, the latest research shows that healthy mitochondria improves immune function too.
1:10.5	Now I've been using mitochondria for almost a year now and at 63, I feel stronger and more energized than ever.
1:15.1	Right now, a timeline nutrition is offering my community 10% off mitochondria, which you can get in a capsule powder or protein blend at timelinenutrition.com.

1:34.4	People are asking me how to support the immune systems. I like to try to help them reframe immune health to understand that it's not always about making the immune system work harder. It's helping it be smarter.
1:44.2	And that means giving our bodies the writing radiance for the immune cells to work effectively and understand when they're against a real threat.
1:51.0	And this is where proper nutrition comes in. But since our food quality is not what it used to be, it's helpful to have a little extra insurance.
1:58.7	I discovered this propolis immune support throw spray from beekeepers natural.
2:03.1	Beekeepers natural uses a potent natural ingredient called propolis in their throw spray that can act as a protective lining for the beehive, keeping out fornidators and germs. And it can do that for us too.
2:13.3	Propolis contains multiple compounds that are essential to immune health like vitamin C, zinc, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. It's the perfect travel friendly way to get that additional extra nutritional insurance to feel more resilient all year long.
