Treating Long COVID Depression and Brain Fog

If you are suffering from prolonged symptoms following a COVID infection, like depression fog or long-haul COVID anxiety, the following factors may be at play:

• Your gut and its microbiome, a hugely important source of healthy immune system functioning, may be suffering from dysbiosis, inflammation, maldigestion, pathogenic bacteria, or metabolic problems. We can identify and heal these problems.
• Your immune system may be producing antibodies that are attacking your brain cells. We use a specialized laboratory test to uncover these antibodies and help direct treatment targeted to Long COVID brain.
• You may have a family history of autoimmune conditions, such as Crohn’s Disease, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Ulcerative Colitis, Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, that predispose to Long COVID. We can arrange for an immunologist to test you for inherited immune system dysfunction
• You may have suffered from a previous infection such as Herpes, Strep, Lyme, or Mono (EBV) that have been reactivated by the Coronavirus SARS-2. We can refer you to the right specialists for treatment based upon your test results.
• You may have persisting inflammatory molecules called cytokines and chemokines in your bloodstream. We can test for these and help determine the best way to reduce them.
• You may have blood clots blocking tiny blood vessels, which can prevent enough oxygen and nutrients from reaching the mitochondrial "power plants" in your cells, resulting in chronic fatigue and brain fog. We can order blood studies to help detect these problems, and refer you to specialists to treat them.
