Coming up on this episode of the doctor's pharmacy where I'm going with the patients that I'm seeing at this point in time with post-COVID syndrome and I've got a number of them now.

I'm really focusing on immune, immune activation using mushrooms, using those kinds of things to help support the immune system to reactivate it as well as mitochondrial support.

Hey everyone, it's Dr. Mark. Over the years I've learned that I have to be an active participant in creating my own happiness, but sometimes like can get crazy and it can be really easy to lose sight of how to do that.

That's why it's so important to ask your help. Stop and ask yourself what is preventing you from being happy and achieving your goals.

Most of us can list at least a couple of things. Compound that with increasing social isolation loneliness and you have an epidemic of anxiety and depression.

COVID-19 experience lingering or long lasting symptoms. Dr. Hyman recently spoke with two of his colleagues about how they are approaching the treatment of these patients.

Here he is with Dr. Patrick Hanoi.
