Most likely post COVID symptoms are faster progression of issues associated with each individuals personal health status.
In other words Post COVID health issues are what would have happened to that person with the normal aging process, but COVID because it is so so inflammatory, speeds up the process.
So if you want to clear COVID quicker and not have Post COVID or Long COVID issues, perhaps we should work on rebalancing your health and reduce your underlying inflammatory burden.
This can mean any or all of the following:
Balance your diet
Balance your Gut
Balance your hormones
Improve your sleep and circadian rhythms
Improve your nutrition
Improve your ability to be outside in fresh air and sunshine
Balance your exercise
Am I right or wrong?
I’ve had questions as to the packaged fish I get at Moms Organic Grocery store in Cherry HIll.
The smoked mussels and smoked sea scallops are amazing in a creamy tomato broth with a little added celery, bell pepper and onions. #Delicious and perfect for the #IMWChallenge
The person above shared this picture on twitter. It is the same person but with different diets. The pic on the left is when she was on more of a carbohydrate based diet and thus a sugar burner.
The pic on the right is the same person on a #LowCarb diet and thus more of a fat burner.
Exercise was the same in both pics.
Look at the difference in facial structure. This is something I look at when with IMW members and tells me a bit about your diet and metabolic balance. I embarked on Keto-Carnivore in a more strict sense just over 4 years ago when I saw a pic of myself at my brothers wedding. I did not like the rounded face and the bigger neck. #Keto-Carnivore fixed both within 6 weeks and I have never looked back and feel 10 years younger. It is not the number on the scale but more how you feel and the direction the scale is going. Are you a fat burner or a sugar (carb) burner?
Remember the diet is what pulls the trigger on both health and disease. If you are a sugar burner COVID has a greater chance of causing harm both acutely and chronically.
I will end with a great pic I got off Instagram. If you are on Instagram, besides following me @IMWHorvitz , you should also give @biohackhub a follow.

I feel bad when the mirror reflects back the emaciated me though. There's definitely a balance to be struck with this stuff, and I think I found it through pizza and cheese fries 🙂
Being sick clearly threw my hormones way off. Went three weeks without an appetite, then once it returned I found myself eating everything in the pantry, carbs included, all day long, before turning my attention to the little mom and pop restaurant up the street for Standard South Jerseyan Diet feasts.
The gorging phase passed after about a week and then I went back to normal meals focusing on fat/cholesterol/protein and light snacking.
I did have to cut out my usual energy drinks since they taste terrible to me now, but it works out since I switched to a nootropic stack that lasts me all day and seems to help offset the brainfog. One day I won't be living in a moldy house and will be able to experience the energy benefits of low-carb.
