The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everyone’s lives. The other day I met with Drs. Greg Plotnikoff and Kat Hopkins from Minnesota Personalized Medicine to discuss a holistic approach to supporting the immune system.
Watch as Dr. Plotnikoff demonstrates a flow energy maneuver that can be utilized for blocked flow, a common source of persistent pain whether it be physical, emotional or both. During this time of so much grief and loss, you may find this simple exercise helpful, particularly since it requires no equipment and can be done anywhere.
We also discuss:
Nutraceuticals: Curcumin and melatonin - 2:48
Maintaining a schedule and restoring the circadian rhythm 9:06
Managing the emotional impacts of quarantine 11:50
Qigong, managing energy and flow exercises 13:06
Exercise for fascia 18:45
Nutraceuticals: Vitamin D, glutathione, elderberry, medicinal mushrooms and N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) - 22:30
COVID drugs currently in clinical trials 29:00
Repurposed medications like low dose naltrexone 33:30
Remember….. Fundamentals first, then pharmaceuticals!
