Ask Dr. Nick
On today’s episode, Dr. Nick talks about the mechanisms and possible treatment options for Long-COVID. Long-COVID has affected many people since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and many are looking for answers. It is a multi-organ system disorder, which makes it very difficult to treat. Each individual may have different mechanisms contributing to the disorder that is causing one’s symptoms. It is important to identify which mechanisms causing the problems by having proper blood work addressing co-infections, autoimmunity, and blood clotting, gastrointestinal tests, and autonomic nervous system testing. Only then can a proper treatment plan be produced to help the individual. Check out the video for more in depth information on new Long-COVID finding, mechanisms, and possible treatments!
