Using plain language, real-world analogies, and practical tools, he helps readers COVID-19 hijacks mitochondria and triggers lasting fatigue, brain fog, and painThe role of oxidative stress, mitophagy (cellular cleanup), and methylation in recoveryEveryday signs that your mitochondria are struggling—even when lab tests look “normal”Key diagnostic tools like the Organic Acids Test, lactate/pyruvate testing, and metabolic markersEvidence-based strategies to restore cellular energy, from antioxidants and nutrients to advanced therapies like low-dose naltrexone, metformin, and red light therapyThis volume is part of The Complete Long COVID Handbook series, which explores the six major mechanisms behind persistent dysautonomia, mitochondrial dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, histamine excess/MCAS, endothelial dysfunction with microclots, and hormone imbalance.

Your body isn’t broken. With the right knowledge and tools, recovery is possible.
Unfortunately, i have only managed to read half the book on my kindle as the other half fails to load and I keep getting asked to review ! The kindle version is also very slow to turn pages especially when graphs are on the page. The first half of the book was very helpful and provides lots of information, I would really like to read all of the book ! I have given low stars due to kindle version being so poor , I'm sure the physical book would be much better
I have really enjoyed how this book broke things down in a digestible way, especially as someone who is not very “sciency” and deals with severe brain fog and fatigue from long COVID. He has a whole series of these handbooks, I’ve already ordered the one on Dysautonomia. Gave me lots of tips and things to bring up with my doc as well as more testing to try and then how to interpret those tests.
