Immunity and recovery from post-viral fatigue - creating a holistic plan

Post-viral fatigue can be debilitating for some people and has been linked to autoimmune conditions like chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, rheumatism and more. This workshop will discuss the big picture of immunity, post-viral fatigue and long-hauling, why it occurs and what can be done to combat it.

In this workshop we take you through the immune response during infection, with a specific focus on what happens during C19 and how in some cases this can lead to long-haul issues and ongoing long-term health problems. We will discuss the body's natural defence systems, including glutathione and it's various associated enzymes. The inflammatory cascade, what ignites flare-ups in symptoms post infection, the links of the gut microbiome, the HPA axis and immune dysregulation. We will also draw parallels with conditions like chronic fatigue and what the clinical evidence is showing us about how these can be combatted.

Finally we will talk about what should be involved in a holistic recovery plan, different supplements that can assist, lifestyle and food advice. Giving you a list of specific things you can do to support your immune function pre- during and post-infection so that you don't become a long-hauler and can rapidly re-balance your health and wellbeing.
