Approximately 20 million people are suffering from prolonged post-covid symptoms, with cases increasing daily. In many people, lingering symptoms are still present (or reoccur) 6 to 9 months after Covid infection. While Covid-19 was originally viewed as a respiratory disease, we’ve now gained a new understanding of its impact on our blood vessels and how that affects the entire body. Among the most common lasting symptoms are fatigue, body aches, difficulty breathing, racing heart, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. 


My guest today, Dr. Leo Galland, is one of the most incredible resources on Covid and long-Covid syndrome and is someone who has had an immense impact on my own health and my career in Functional Medicine.


Dr. Galland is a board-certified internist, an international best-selling author, and one of the founders of Functional Medicine. Since the onset of the pandemic, he has devoted most of his time to research on Covid-19 and to the education of other health practitioners in understanding the biology of the disease. He has created a series of documents and videos on the long Covid syndrome intended for the general public and for health professionals. His latest publication, Long Covid: Prevention and Treatment, is available on his website.
