185 - Dr Kendal Stewart - When Your Killer T-Cells Need a Vacation


Listen Later

Dr. Kendal Stewart shares his unique perspective on Long Covid through his background as a surgeon with training in functional medicine, neurosurgery, and cell biology. His approach examines the body as an integrated system rather than separating it into isolated specialties.

• Complex conditions like Long Covid require a holistic view of the body as an interconnected system
• Western medicine often silos patients into specialties based on symptoms, missing the bigger picture
• T-cell weakness and microglial activation are key factors in Long Covid symptoms
• The body's inflammation is doing exactly what it's programmed to do—it's not broken
• Northern Europeans have particularly aggressive genetics for inflammation (76%) and often have broken "off switches"
• Peptides like thymusin alpha-1 can help recover exhausted T-cells
• Creating an environment favorable for healing is more effective than treating individual symptoms
• Genetic testing provides a personalized "map" for treatment, focusing only on what's missing
• Many people who recover become healthier than they were before getting sick
