You have access to the best tools for preventing long COVID fatigue. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOW GOOD 🥳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So far the health care focus has been on preventing acute COVID 19 infection, which love that 👌🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Howeverrrrr knowledge is growing around long COVID, it’s effects and how it can be prevented. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most common feature of long COVID is fatigue, comparable to post viral chronic fatigue syndrome. This bad boy sucks!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It appears you don’t even need a severe case of COVID infection to be at risk of developing long COVID fatigue. Researchers have found literally no link between severity of COVID infection and post infection fatigue. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But fortunately you DO have access to the best tools to help you prevent long COVID fatigue and to recover fully and completely as quickly as possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
�These are known as the “three P’s” - how convenient! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Pace yourself so you don’t push yourself too hard. Make sure you gave plenty of rest ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Plan your days so your most tiring activities are spread out across the week ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Prioritise - think about what needs to be done now and was can be put off. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Use this as your recovery plan to get back to what you love as soon as possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After all, it’s okay to rest and even necessary when recovering from illness ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Fuelling your body through Omicron 💪🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tested positive? Don’t freak out 😬⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Omicron appears to be much more gentle on the body than previous strains. However there are things you can do while to improve symptoms and long term recovery. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Eat whole foods and a lot of them. Give your body the resources to fight this pathogen 🦠 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Eat a variety of protein, vegetables, healthy fats and enjoy a rainbow of different colours 🍎🥬🍋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Stay away from refined sugars, alcohol and fruit juices as these will spike your blood sugar which suppresses your immune function ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Enjoy lots of fresh herbs. They pack and antimicrobial and antiviral punch!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Drink loadssss of water and herbal teas. My favourite immune tonic is some water, lemon, ginger, turmeric, garlic, ACV, cayenne pepper on the stove for 10 minutes. Then add an active honey source like manuka honey and enjoy ☕️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- A common symptom of Omicron is body aches occurs due to a build up of lactic acid (by product of your immune process). Move your body and stretch your muscles to encourage your lymphatic system to move and detoxify 🏃‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Another common symptom is diarrhoea. Keep hydrated, make some bone broth and take a probiotic if you have one (particularly with Saccharomyces boulardii) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Other supplements you can add to aid recovery include Vitamin C, Zinc, Quercetin, NAC and olive leaf extract. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Get some sunshine ☀️ 10-30 minutes per day depending on the time of the day to support vitamin D levels for innate immune function. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- REST. If your body is demanding sleep, then sleep. Don’t underestimate your bodies innate power to heal but take your time recovering. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reach out if you have any questions on how you can harness your bodies natural immune super powers 💪🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One of my favourite iodine packed snacks 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that nearly one third of the WORLD is at risk for iodine deficiency! Crazy right?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But most days in the clinic I see dietary analysis’s results which flag iodine as deficient. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your body simply cannot produce iodine making it an essential dietary micronutrient for proper health and thyroid function. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thankfully if you like sushi, it’s a GREAT source of iodine. Seaweed is one of the best sources of iodine available and pair it with some seafood and you’ve smashed your daily requirement of iodine in just one sushi roll. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Other great sources include iodised salt, eggs and greek yoghurt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to understand more about your nutrition and have confidence that you are fuelling your body well, let us run an in-depth dietary analysis for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Understand which macro or micronutrients you might be unaware you’re missing out on and let us guide your eating habits to success! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Good nutrition is important for both short and long term health. So have confidence you’re fuelling your body the best way possible with a detailed dietary analysis.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DM us if you want more details. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Managing the Transition out of Lockdown ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Transitioning out of lockdown brings back connection, interaction and opportunities to see friends and family or get back to work we love 💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just as it took time adjusting to lockdown, we should also expect that it will take time to find our way back again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But here’s a couple ways to smooth your transition. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Focus on the present⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can only do your best with what you have today. Keep focused on the moments at hand. Mindfulness meditation is one way of bringing your mind back to the present moment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Focus on what you can rely on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whilst a lot of things are uncertain at the moment, there are also things to be hopeful about. Try starting a gratitude journal and appreciate good things as they happen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Talk to people you trust⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s important to talk about how you feel. Don’t dismiss your concerns or judge yourself too harshly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Bring self-care back into focus⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As your schedule starts filling up more be sure to set time aside to read a book, stretch, meditate and get into nature.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your physical, mental and emotional stamina will thank you for it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Pace yourself⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recognise that you need to go at the right pace for you. Don’t let others pressure you into doing things you don’t want to but also don't find excuses not to push yourself, especially when it comes to reconnecting with friends safely, outside your home, when rules allow and the time is also right for you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
