Research confirms disruptive effect of COVID-19 infection on the gut microbiome with antibiotic use worsening the impact of infection.

This new study was done at Rutgers (where I got my PhD – go Scarlet Knights!) – and supports earlier studies that COVID-19 is far from being “just” a respiratory virus – it infects your lungs, but also your gut, your brain, your circulatory system, and your nervous system (and maybe a lot more that we don’t know about yet).
Previous research has shown that people tend to do “worse” with COVID-19 infections when they have an unbalanced microbiome – including those who suffer from “post-COVID” symptoms often referred to as “Long COVID” – with typical problems including fatigue, anxiety, and brain fog.
Over the last year, I’ve worked with dozens of people to help them get over their Long COVID symptoms by naturally reengineering their microbiomes and rebuilding their gut integrity (“leaky gut”) – so now they’re not only “back” to their pre-COVID energetic, happy, motivated self – they’re BETTER.
Improve your microbiome – strengthen your immune system – enhance your mental wellness and physical health…
