hey folks it's patriot nurse thank you for joining me in this video we're going to discuss
the things that people are messing up when they're recovering from cobit so first off a lot of people
are having coveted for the second or third time right now with everything that's going around
and there's a few things that you need to keep in mind if you're recuperating from covid the first
is you have to pay attention to your rest and this is something that a lot of people struggle
with i am one of these people because i'm a very driven individual and because i'm a nurse that's
one of my tendencies in general but in specific it is to put everybody else ahead of me and
to be focused on achieving the checklist and finishing the checklist and just getting
it done and pushing through and then i'll rest later but we can't do that
right we have to really pay attention to the convalescent stage of kovid and it's more than
just a week and this is something that a lot of people are experiencing is that it takes a
lot longer than people think to recover from this thing even if you're at peak performance because
people are reacting differently to accommodating this virus and having their body clear it now
one of the things that people have asked me is do you recommend a specific regime or a
particular group of vitamins etcetera listen most people who are taking vitamins in isolation are
wasting their money and there's a few exceptions to this but we call them bedpan bullets in the
nursing world because people in many cases if your stomach acid is screwed up you're not going to
be able to digest them properly and really the body doesn't process vitamins in isolated form
very well because these are processed chemicals and they are not occurring with their natural
pairing enzymes and also co-factors in plants from which they're derived so your best bet as far as
nutrition is not to go and spend a whole bunch of money on isolated supplements like isolated
vitamin c or isolated whatever your goal is to support the body through proper nutrition now
i'll say this you can do everything right as far as nutrition and still get sick from this thing
and it's still a doozy trying to convalesce from it it is crazy hot in the south right now i've
got my lovely southern glsen going on but when you combine the heat that we're experiencing
right now all across the nation with the humidity that we definitely see in the south this fatigues
the living daylights out of people so people are trying to convalesce from kofi they're trying to
heal their body their body is trying to get back into its normal regime and it's dealing with a lot
of external requirements for energy expenditure takes a lot of energy to cool your body down
and when you're inside running the ac you may be able to have some type of brief respite from
the temperature but i will testify as a devout southerner here that it will still exhaust you
even if it's cool in the house so when you're looking at healing from covid you really
got to pay attention to supporting your body through proper nutrition and also in particular
paying attention to the adrenal glands so the adrenals let's start fanning ourselves now yeah
the adrenals are responsible for producing adrenaline which you've heard about but they
are your fight-or-flight organs and they produce cortisol so cortisol of course is a stress hormone
causes your blood sugar to rise it also causes your body to pack on visceral and abdominal fat
and one of the reasons it does this is because it senses that there is a threat and stress will
trigger this so when your body is confronted with the stress and the threat perceived of covin when
you're recuperating from it if your adrenals are not given what they need to come back to a normal
state they will not switch off and you'll go into adrenal fatigue personally this is something that
i've been dealing with um just a little bit of honest hour from patriot nurse i've had covered
twice and the first time was incredibly mild the second time this last time around
um was definitely much more neurological than respiratory and it it hit me hard and i think
the reason why hit me so hard is because i was very jet-lagged and i was coming back from israel
and lo and behold you know your your circadian rhythm gets messed up your immune system gets
dysregulated and boom right when you least expect it or perhaps when you most expect it if you're
a science nerd like i am but what happened uh in my own personal experience was i i did not
prioritize the rest frankly i couldn't i had too much stuff going on and that's that's the nature
of things that's the nature of being a person who actually goes out and does stuff instead of
you know do nothing but draw a check every week month whatever when you're trying to be work
oriented and task oriented it's very difficult to discipline yourself to sit back and rest and to
really pay attention to you and to give yourself the permission nope i am sitting on the couch
today yep i'm probably going to sit on the couch for the greater part of the day for the next week
and yeah i did that the last week too but this has got to happen for the long
term and that's not something that a lot of us are able or capable or used to doing
so if you don't pay attention to your rest on this thing it's going to come back to bite you in the
butt you're going to end up dealing with fatigue because your adrenals are basically fried so one
of the things that i've had to do personally is to really pay attention to my adrenal glands
and to take herbs that are focused on supporting those because the difference between the
herbs right versus the isolated compounds herbs are superfoods okay and superfoods
are nutrient mega-hitters they have not only the isolated vitamins that you would take pills for
but they also have the vitamins and their cofactors and the other chemical compounds
necessary for your body to adequately absorb and appropriately uptake and integrate them you don't
get that with isolated vitamins for the most part so it's something to pay attention to and i'll put
