    38 - How COVID Has Affected My Labs and Symptoms

    Since I get this asked this often from my clients, I'm sharing my personal experience with how I've felt in the months after having COVID. I actually did lab tests before and after having COVID (I am such a scientist at heart!), so I was able to see how it impacted my health from an objective standpoint too. 

    If you'd like to see or purchase some of the supplements I use to recover quickly from illness, go here. 

    To support your immune system, you need good quantity and quality of sleep, an anti-inflammatory diet, regular exercise, and quick recovery from stressors. For help creating a lifestyle with these components, book an appointment or transform through our online program.
