176: Long COVID Recovery: Rebuilding Strength, Vitality, and Resilience
Episode 176
Monday, 2 March, 2026
So many people who have had COVID are still struggling months or even years later with fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, and a body that just will not bounce back. Dr. Holly Carling and Alicia sit down to talk about why recovery takes so long and what the body actually needs to heal. In this episode, Dr. Holly explains that long COVID recovery is not about chasing a diagnosis. It is about restoring the body's natural intelligence on multiple levels: nutritional, cellular, nervous system, and emotional. The mitochondria often take the biggest hit after a prolonged illness, and rebuilding those energy systems requires the right fuel, stable routines, and therapies that support the body's natural rhythms. Whether you are still struggling with post-viral symptoms or simply want to build better resilience for the future, this episode offers practical, grounded guidance rooted in whole-body healing. In this episode: Why the mitochondria are central to fatigue and brain fog after illness, and which foods help recharge them How gut integrity, protein absorption, healthy fats, and blood sugar stability all play a role in post-viral recovery How acupuncture helps reset the nervous system, improve circulation, and balance a dysregulated immune response Why emotional recovery matters just as much as physical recovery, and how to rebuild resilience through routine, movement, and nervous system support For full show notes, resources and links head to: https://vitalhealthcda.com/podcasts/ The Vital Health for You Podcast is for everyone.
