Recent research has shown a connection between three significant health challenges: COVID, mold exposure, and herpesvirus reactivation. This interaction may help explain why some individuals experience more severe or prolonged symptoms, particularly in the context of Long COVID. In this episode, Dr. Lauren Tessier and Dr. Nafysa Parpia explore the intricate relationships between these three conditions. They discuss how COVID creates vulnerability to mold infections, the overlapping symptoms of long haul and mold illness, and the role of herpesviruses in this complex interplay. They delve into how mycotoxins can increase viral activity and compromise immune function, potentially worsening long COVID symptoms through multiple mechanisms. Understanding these interactions has important implications for both treatment and prevention. While the connections between COVID, mold exposure, and viral reactivation are complex, recognizing these relationships allows for more targeted and effective treatment approaches. Episode Highlights How COVID alters biochemistry to enable mold infections The overlapping symptoms of long haul and mold illness Understanding the COVID-herpesvirus connection How mycotoxins create pathways for COVID infection through tissue inflammation Mycotoxins' role in increasing viral load and replication The impact of mycotoxins on endothelial lining and long COVID Cytokine elevation patterns in mold exposure and long COVID Mechanisms by which mold exposure worsens long COVID outcomes Listen in to learn more : (03:16) Impact of Mold and Viruses (11:03) COVID and Dysbiosis Effects (21:51) Impact of Mold and Mycotoxins About Lauren Tessier, ND Dr. Lauren Tessier is a Vermont-licensed Naturopathic Physician specializing in mold-related illness and complex chronic conditions.

Chronic Fatigue, Long COVID, and the Mitochondrial Network 50:37

35 weeks sitten50:37

50:37

The connection between the mitochondrial network, chronic fatigue, and Long COVID is rooted in the critical role mitochondria play in cellular energy production. Chronic fatigue and Long COVID both often result from mitochondrial dysfunction, where the cells' energy factories fail to meet the body's demands, leading to persistent fatigue. Modern-day stressors, such as insufficient sleep, physical inactivity, and elevated psychological stress, exacerbate this issue by inducing oxidative stress and inflammation, leading to mitochondrial shutdown. COVID has highlighted these underlying issues, as the virus's impact on the body often triggers a cascade of immune responses and inflammation that disrupt mitochondrial efficiency, bringing previously latent chronic fatigue conditions to the forefront. Dr. Eric Gordon sits down with Ari Whitten to take a deep dive into how to optimize cellular repair and renewal. Episode highlights include: - What is causing our fatigue? - Mitochondria, beyond being the “powerhouse of the cell” - The critical role hormetic stress plays in mitochondrial optimization - Autophagy and mitophagy - The gut-mitochondria axis - Practical steps to improve mitochondrial function Listen to learn more : (00:02) - Mitochondria, Chronic Fatigue, and Energy Optimization (14:26) - Optimizing Circadian Rhythm for Better Sleep (21:05) - Melatonin Dosing and Health Impact (32:49) - Gut Health and Mitochondrial Function (40:29) - Restoring Gut Health and Resilience About Ari Whitten Ari Whitten, M.S. is the founder of The Energy Blueprint.
