The COVID Hangover: The Effects of Long COVID

Long-term COVID is a challenging issue, with severe symptoms that linger after a person has COVID-19. Scientific studies show that about 30% of people who recovered from COVID-19 may experience long-term symptoms. These symptoms can occur regardless of the severity of the initial infection. Symptoms may vary and affect different body systems, making it a complex condition to diagnose and manage. Let’s examine the effects of long COVID and what causes these lingering symptoms. 

Do Gender Differences Matter?

Although both men and women can get chronically infected after COVID-19, studies show that it affects them differently. Gender differences are one of the challenges for health professionals when managing this complex disease. Symptoms in women with prolonged COVID-19 are often associated with those seen during menopause. These symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, and cognitive difficulties.

Challenges Of Managing Long-Term COVID Symptoms

Holistic healthcare providers face many challenges in helping their patients cope with the long-term of COVID. Long COVID-19 can cause many symptoms, including fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations. This complexity makes it challenging to identify causes and develop effective controls.

Researchers are still investigating immune responses, viral persistence, and autoimmunity as

contributing factors. What works for one person may not work for another, requiring a customized and flexible plan.

The Effects Of Long COVID

While the reason for long-term COVID-19 symptoms varies for everyone, some factors prevent healing. Obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure can keep people from fully recovering. People who struggle with lingering symptoms may notice:

• Neurological issues – trouble concentrating, brain fog
• Mental health concerns – depression, anxiety, stress
• Permanent loss of taste or smell
• Kidney damage
• Cardiovascular issues – inflammation, heart palpitations
• Pulmonary concerns – shortness of breath, scarring

A Holistic Approach Can Help You Recover

Dr. Freddie Ulan, the founder of Nutrition Response Testing®, has been conducting thorough research to determine the underlying causes of the symptoms of Long COVID. During his early career, he discovered five barriers that could prevent the body from healing. Since the epidemic, practitioners trained in this protocol have seen more patients with various symptoms. These patients were not responding as expected to the standard protocol.

Dr.Ulan has identified a sixth stressor associated with post-pandemic factors and Long COVID symptoms. Accordingly, he has updated the Nutrition Response Testing® analysis to include a procedure that addresses factors impacting your health. The analysis also identifies the nutritional support your body needs to repair itself so you can attain and maintain optimum health.
