Episode Description
Long Covid is a condition in which the symptoms of Covid persist for three months or more. It is a condition that still affects an estimated 35 million Americans, and at least 65 million globally, who have continued to have chronic illness, lasting months or years after their infection with Covid. In today’s episode, we discuss Mast Cell Activation Syndrome with Dr. Thalia Hale, naturopath, functional medicine doctor and expert on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. MCAS is likely one of the reasons that a simple Covid infection becomes Long Covid. It is also the cause of allergies, chronic skin conditions, environmental sensitivity, mold issues and more. We’ll be looking at what people are experiencing, why it occurs and strategies for resolving it. For more information on Dr. Thalia, please see https://www.drthalia.com.
