I had long COVID, so I know how much it can change your life. For this reason, I wanted to share some of the things I learned.
In this video, I will discuss the connection between mast cells and long COVID. I will also cover the topics listed below:
1. My experiences/client experiences/studies related to long COVID and mast cell activation
2. COVID can alter mast cell function, so they release too much histamine and other inflammatory chemicals
3. COVID has been shown to upregulate existing pathogens, which then triggers mast cell activation further
4. COVID has been shown to disrupt the gut microbiome, specifically knocking out the immune modulating bacteria like bifidobacterium
5. Shift in immune function leads to increased sensitivity to foods/environmental triggers/synthetic irritants
6. On going reactions to foods/environment/etc. perpetuate the cascade of inflammatory molecules, mast cell population increases over time which furthers severity of symptoms
7. Mast cells are the driving factor behind the symptoms, if you can control the mast cells, you can reduce symptom severity
8. Treat long COVID like mast cell activation for optimal chance of recovery, must identify what causes flares or you will have a tough time beating it
9. Summary of key points related to mast cell activation/long COVID
