In this episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay, Dr. Robin Rose, a double board-certified specialist in gastroenterology and internal medicine, shares her expertise on gut health and the profound impact of Long COVID on our bodies and aging process.
Dr. Rose reveals how the COVID-19 spike protein acts as an "age accelerant" by causing cellular senescence and impacting every organ system. She explains the groundbreaking research on how the virus invades gut bacteria, leading to the persistent production of toxic peptides and spike protein fragments that wreak havoc throughout the body. Learn about the wide spectrum of Long COVID symptoms, from brain fog and chronic fatigue to dysautonomia and mast cell activation, and why conventional medicine often struggles with these "zebra" diagnoses.
Dr. Rose also dives into the critical role of gut health in overall well-being and longevity, discussing the importance of balancing the gut microbiome, the distinction between prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, and advanced treatments for healing a compromised gut. Discover practical biohacking tips, including the importance of sweating for detoxification, and gain a deeper understanding of how to protect your health in a post-pandemic world.
