At the risk of being a complete hippie and talking about alternative health therapies, I thought I might make a swell about long, COVID I self care an autoimmune condition. And when I got covered, I was was really unwell for about a week and a half. And then for weeks afterwards, I was not getting better. I was still having chronic fatigue and chronic pain. And I felt fluid all the time

A-U-P-H-A-G-Y-I think. And the body renovates its own immune system, so it starts killing off all the old, tired, cranky white blood cells and make new ones. So you're actually renovating your immune system, which is amazing, which is what you need in defense against a virus that has challenged your immunity up to the hills and back again. So that's the science behind it. You can research that as well

From like two to eight, you eat, but then the rest of the time you don't. And then there's the other philosophy in terms of the body, where you eat five small meals to keep your body continually moving in some kind of metabolic rhythm, because when you stop your metabolism in terms of feeding the food, I'm going to sneeze. Hold on, sneeze over. That keeps the body like a little engine when you do the five meals a day

So, yeah, I wish this would have worked out for me. I did try many different diets over the course of a year and a half, and it wasn't always practical for me to really implement them every day because I was actually already, like, in starvation mode. And, yeah, that was very difficult. My relationship with food has been very stressed from this illness, and I'm thankful I'm at the place now where I am back to having a very healthy diet

So I had to quit the pool and then I upgraded to the gym and then I got a water filter system. You know what? When you have health issues like this, I think you will know acutely more than anybody that it's constant jigsaw puzzle of figuring out what's next, what's this new symptom, how do I deal with that? And how interesting that the vaccine helped you. I was triple vaccine by the time I caught covered
