Summary

EP. 152: In this episode, I’m unpacking the latest data on long covid and exercise. Contrary to conventional wisdom advising against physical activity for post-viral syndrome, I push back, drawing from my own experience with a similar condition dating back to my teenage years, and insights from recent studies. From dissecting mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction to scrutinizing the effects of various exercise modalities, I emphasize the significance of movement and cultivating a supportive network. Tune in as we untangle the intricacies of long covid and reshape the conversation surrounding exercise and recuperation.

0:07.6	On this episode of the Dr. Tina Show, The Quick and Dirty, I'm going to be talking with you about some recent data that's come out around long COVID and exercise.
0:17.0	Now, it's been long assumed and recommended that if you have post-exertional malaise due to any type of condition, most notably around viral infections, long COVID, we called it post-viral syndrome before it was a thing with COVID.
0:34.0	This is something I have struggled with since I was 19 years old with a different virus.
0:38.6	It can come on from the flu. It can come on from any variety of viruses. And the going
0:44.6	recommendations is to not exercise. That's honestly, but what the going recommendations have been.
0:51.8	And particularly around long COVID, the recommendations are to not
0:55.8	exercise. And I think that's just bonkers. And here's why. Because say you were really
1:02.3	fit and you got slammed by a virus and now you're dealing with the post-viral sequelae, and you can't
1:08.0	get up and you feel awful. Exercise seems really like a long reach, right? It seems
1:14.1	like something that is not only going to be difficult to do, but it's potentially going to
1:18.6	cause you to flare or rebound in a negative way. I get it. I've been there. I completely understand.
1:25.4	The other problem, though, is say you went into it really deconditioned, and let's just
1:31.6	be honest here, most Americans are severely deconditioned.
1:36.0	So say you went into it deconditioned, if you don't exercise, even if it's hard, you're
1:42.1	just going to end up more deconditioned.
1:45.9	Really, what's at the root of all of these long viral syndromes is mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondrial fatigue. So you've got these
1:53.1	pooped out mitochondria most often going in. Then you get slammed with the virus and now on the other
1:58.9	side your mitochondria are fried.
2:01.6	You're fried.
2:03.4	You've got adrenal fatigue.
2:06.6	Definitely COVID tends to push people over the edge.
