Ep. 191 - COVID's Cognitive Shadow: Unraveling the Mystery of Brain Fog with Returning Guest Dr. Terry Harville


Listen Later

Brain fog—a term once absent from the medical lexicon—has become one of the most debilitating and puzzling symptoms of Long COVID. But what exactly is happening inside the body to cause this cognitive impairment? Is it just inflammation, or is there a more complex mechanism at play?

In this episode, we sit down with leading immunologist Dr. Terry Harville, Medical Director of the Special Immunology Laboratory at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Dr. Harville takes us on a deep dive into the unique relationship between the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the human immune system, explaining why this zoonotic virus is so effective at causing long-term neurological issues. This isn't just about forgetfulness; it's a serious medical condition that could be a harbinger of something much worse.

If you or someone you know is struggling with the cognitive effects of Long COVID, this episode is an essential listen, packed with scientific insights and actionable treatment strategies from an expert on the front lines.
