Robin Rose, MD: Gastroenterologist and author of The 28-Day Gut Fix on the importance of microbiome balance and how Long Covid accelerates aging.

The pandemic is not a distant memory for the 17 million US adults who the CDC says suffer from "long-haul COVID." Gastroenterologist Robin Rose, MD, an expert in treating long COVID says "the gut is ground zero" for the virus's notorious spike protein and the protein's conduit to every cell in the body. In this episode, Dr. Comite interviews this practitioner of next-generation precision healthcare about our microbiome's role in aging and the downstream effects of COVID on our health.    You'll learn…  The COVID-19 spike protein can bind to 22 cell receptors and can impact 300 biological pathways in the body, triggering chronic disease and accelerating aging.  How spike proteins get inside cells, transforming them into "zombie cells."   That spike proteins from mRNA vaccines as well as the virus itself destroy bifidobacteria, one of the most beneficial bugs in our gut.  About natural compounds that work synergistically along biological pathways to move the spike protein out of the body.   How "leaky gut" develops and its impact on organs and the immune system.  The critical importance of regular blood tests and "knowing your body."   Dr. Rose's three free guaranteed health boosters: Community, gratitude, and movement.
