Persistent brain and body fatigue after recovery from a viral infection is common with certain viruses, but it's not the virus causing ongoing symptoms. It's your immune system.
While the pandemic has increased public awareness of post-viral syndrome, disconnected care pathways and biases in care persist.
Navigating a healthcare system when few are listening and little is working, forces people to self-manage their condition.
Symptoms tend to worsen. Management becomes more challenging, and the risk of several medical conditions increases.
That's why I'm sharing the approach I created, the 5Rs to Recovery. Supporting recovery while reducing the risk of long term health consequences requires strategy.
The 5Rs is an evidence-informed strategy. It captures the intertwining immune mechanisms underpinning post-viral syndrome.
In this presentation, you'll learn the science behind the 5Rs, and how they work together to target the core immune challenges that are preventing recovery.
Invisible illness like enduring post-viral fatigue can't be seen, but that doesn't mean YOU are invisible. You deserve to feel like yourself again.
The 5Rs is a strategy with the following targets.
1. Resolve & Regulate (inflammation and immune function)
2. Rebalance & Restore (gut health and barrier integrity)
3. Repair (damage and function)
To address those targets, treatment approaches are individualized and introduced at the right time, in the right order and step by step.
This is not biohacking. No green pills or woo-woo are involved.
One-size-fits-all solutions are not effective. There are too many mechanisms involved in post-viral syndrome.
