COVID-19 Infection Disrupts Gut Microbiome | Inside Precision Medicine

Research confirms disruptive effect of COVID-19 infection on the gut microbiome with antibiotic use worsening the impact of infection.
— Read on http://www.insideprecisionmedicine.com/topics/translational-research/microbiome/covid-19-infection-disrupts-gut-microbiome/

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…

2023 Wellness Trends?

According to a recent article in Elle magazine, two of the most prominent wellness trends for 2023 will be, more focus on “Mental Well-Being” and leisure travel for “Wellness Experiences” – so maybe now is a good time combine both of these trends into one trip and start planning your small-group retreat to 3 Waves Wellness in Plymouth MA?

At 3 Waves Wellness, we help you focus on your Mental Wellness with education around the Microbiome-Gut-Heart-Brain-Axis, healthy eating, green/blue/yellow nature therapy, mindful movement, social connection, and much more.

Start 2023 as a Certified Mental Wellness Coach

Our FINAL certification of the year will be held on Dec 8 & 9 in Nashville TN (9am-5pm each day).

Mental Wellness is THE topic of our time – and “health coaching” is one of the biggest lifestyle trends in the wellness community – so why not combine them both in a college-level specialized certification that focuses on how balancing the Microbiome and optimizing the Gut-Brain-Axis can help your clients level-up their mental wellness and physical health.

Space is extremely limited – we have room left for 10 more students (and you can bring a guest for FREE) – sign up HERE.

Lunch will be provided each day so we can crank thru all 16 hours of content around how to improve Mental Wellness using natural lifestyle techniques including…

Microbiome modulation

Optimization of the Gut-Heart-Brain-Axis

Improving Sleep Quality

Exposure to Movement, Mindset, Nature, the Mental Fitness Diet and much more…

Students will receive their certification as a digital badge (from Marietta College) about one week following completion of the course.

Hope to see you there!

Media Segments about Gut-Brain-Axis and Mental Wellness

I was asked to gather some of my media segments related to how balancing the Microbiome and optimizing the Gut-Brain-Axis can help improve many aspects of Mental Wellness (mood, energy, focus, stress, sleep quality, etc).

Western States 100 Lottery is OPEN!

I just registered for the Western States 100 – the most iconic of all the 100-mile trail runs.

I’ve done 3 of the other events in the UltraRunning “Grand Slam” (you need to run 4 of the 5 events – some lunatics run all four in a single year to complete an official “slam” – impressive!!!) – Vermont 100, Leadville 100, and Wasatch 100 (Old Dominion 100 in Va is also considered one of the originals, but I’ve not run that one yet) – so crossing my fingers for a successful lottery next month – wish me luck!

Here is some info about the WS100:

The Western States ® 100-Mile Endurance Run is the world’s oldest 100 mile trail race. The Run starts in Olympic Valley, California, near the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, and ends 100.2 miles later in Auburn, California. In the decades since its inception in 1974, Western States has come to represent one of the ultimate endurance tests in the world.

Traversing the traditional lands of the Nisenan, Washoe, and other neighboring Indigenous Peoples, the Western States Trail climbs more than 18,000 feet and descends nearly 23,000 feet before runners reach the finish at Placer High School in Auburn. In the miles between Olympic Valley and Auburn, runners experience the majestic high country of Emigrant Pass and the Granite Chief Wilderness, the crucible of the canyons of the California gold country, a memorable crossing of the ice cold waters of the Middle Fork of the American River, and finally the historic reddish brown trails that led many travelers, including gold prospectors, to Auburn.

For almost five decades, Western States has been home to some of the sport’s most stirring and legendary competitions. With more than 1,500 dedicated volunteers helping to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the Run has stirred the spirit of runners from all walks of life, from all over the globe.

Offering the sport’s oldest and most prized possession – a sub-24-hour silver belt buckle and a sub-30-hour bronze belt buckle – Western States remains one of the undisputed crown jewels of human endurance.
