The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown

If you’ve been concerned about how to prepare yourself and your family for if and likely when Covid-19 hits your household, then you’re in the right place.

Today I bring back Dr. Elisa Song, pediatric holistic physician and mother to 2 kiddos that were recently diagnosed with Covid-19 - one of whom was hospitalized due to his symptoms. In this episode, we discuss her experience with the virus as a doctor, as a clinician, and as a mother and what she’s done and continues to do within her family and for her patients that will not only help possibly protect them from getting sick but also arm them with the necessary tools to know exactly what to do if and when they do get sick, not just with Covid-19, but any virus that comes along.

Additionally, we discuss:

> The severity of Covid-19 in kids and what are the myriad of symptoms and duration of illness one could expect

> How this virus is much more contagious and potentially serious than the seasonal flu

> What’s happening at a cellular level with SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2 protection from lifestyle and supplementation

> IgG antibody testing for those that have had it, when to get it, and who needs it

> How to support your immune system through lifestyle and stress management

> The incredible and FREE resources that Dr. Song has created for families to teach them how to get and stay healthy during these times as well as how to manage sickness when it comes to staying calm and being informed and educated
