Dr. Kendal Stewart shares his unique perspective on Long Covid through his background as a surgeon with training in functional medicine, neurosurgery, and cell biology. His approach examines the body as an integrated system rather than separating it into isolated specialties. • Complex conditions like Long Covid require a holistic view of the body as an interconnected system • Western medicine often silos patients into specialties based on symptoms, missing the bigger picture • T-cell weakness and microglial activation are key factors in Long Covid symptoms • The body's inflammation is doing exactly what it's programmed to do—it's not broken • Northern Europeans have particularly aggressive genetics for inflammation (76%) and often have broken "off switches" • Peptides like thymusin alpha-1 can help recover exhausted T-cells • Creating an environment favorable for healing is more effective than treating individual symptoms • Genetic testing provides a personalized "map" for treatment, focusing only on what's missing • Many people who recover become healthier than they were before getting sick Links: Dr Stewart's Youtube Dr Stewart's Instagram Dr Stewart's website Message the podcast! - questions will be answered on my youtube channel :) For more information about Long Covid Breathing courses & workshops, please check out LongCovidBreathing.com (music credit - Brock Hewitt, Rule of Life) Support the show ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Long Covid Podcast is self-produced & self funded.
