Many people who caught COVID-19 and supposedly recovered have found themselves to be experiencing lingering health issues. However, it is not only COVID-19 that can leave lasting damage on the immune system, but other viral pathogens too. The solution to this issue lies in bolstering the immune system to prevent infections, or repairing it as best as possible if an infection has already occurred. In this episode, Dr. Minni talks about two approaches to immune system maintenance, immune support, and immune rejuvenation.
