We regularly help people affected by LongCovid, CFS and similar conditions. We have assembled some of the recent knowledge in a Holofy Holistic Guide (eBook) which can be shared upon request. Below, we outline the chapters of this eBook.

Content:

  • Long Covid as a mitochondrial disease
  • Micro-nutrients and supplements for mitochondrial health
  • Key natural substances to support recycling of mitochondria
  • Lifestyle factors to boost mitochondria
  • Detoxification support strategies

Chapter 1: Long Covid as a mitochondrial disease

Long Covid presents a severe burden to the individuals affected, their families and the health system at large. Here, we summarize recent scientific progress in the understanding of this condition.

Chapter 2: Micro-nutrients for mitochondrial health

Here we summarize the most researched and proven micro-nutrients required to restart and boost mitochondrial function.

Chapter 3: Strategies to support mitochondria recycling

As mitochondria also experience ageing, particularly when experiencing high metabolic activity or DNA damage, as in the case of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, nature has developed strategies to “recycle” them, a process called mitophagy. Here, we summarize the key natural substances to support this recycling process.

Chapter 4: Lifestyle factors to boost mitochondria

Mitochondria not only produce energy, but also play a key role in environmental sensing of stress (cold, heat, radiation, nutrition depletion/starvation), as well as toxins. Exposure to such “stressors” results in a strong signal to proliferate and regenerate, thereby promoting resilience on a cellular level. This is a desired outcome for people affected from Long Covid.

Chapter 5: Detoxification support

Detoxification routines support mitochondria recovery, especially heavy metal removal, which are known to impair mito function and output.Supporting liver and gall-bladder activity is a key to curb the chronic inflammation present in most Long Covid cases. This also includes to ensure sufficient glutathione levels, the central cellular antioxidant and sulfur donor for the detox process in the liver.
