Dr. Mark Hyman's COVID-19 Webinar

Full article: https://www.drhyman.com/c19 - A Functional Medicine Approach to COVID-19 As a Functional Medicine doctor on the front lines of our chronic disease epidemic, it has become clear to me that we can have an important impact on the trajectory of COVID-19 in our population. And it is within our reach. In fact, it may be as close as our fork. The coronavirus pandemic is forcing us to reevaluate so much of our lives, to focus on those we love, and what is most important. As an act of self-preservation and as an act of service to all our friends, neighbors, co-workers, and fellow Americans it is imperative that we now, more than ever, focus on our personal health and well-being. Here’s why. These are sobering facts that I wish were not true. The faster and smarter we act individually and collectively, the more we can lessen the suffering. This is a novel virus which means that no one has immunity. Experts estimate it will infect 40% to 70% of our population—that’s over 150 million Americans. Currently, 80% have mild or no symptoms, 20% need hospitalization, and 5% will need intensive care. The mortality rates vary depending on the population but range from 0.6% to up to 15% in elderly patients with chronic disease. Here’s the bad news. Only 12% of Americans are metabolically healthy. 75% of us are overweight, 42% are obese, and one in two Americans have pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Those with underlying chronic diseases (diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc.)—affecting 6 in 10 Americans—are at the greatest risk with mortality rates of five to ten times that of healthy COVID-19 patients. Obesity increases the risk of death almost 3 fold. We are seeing up to 40% of the hospitalizations in 20 to 54-year olds, and most of those are obese and overweight. While this is a terrible finding, it is something we can quickly begin to change. Each of us must now focus on strengthening our immunity to better fight the risk of COVID-19. Then if we do get sick, the illness is mild and we can unburden the health care system which is already buckling from the onslaught of the virus. I have seen hundreds of patients dramatically transform their lives quickly, recovering from chronic disease in a matter of weeks using the principles of Functional Medicine and food is medicine. Like Janice, who at 65 was severely obese, a type 2 diabetic on insulin, and suffered from heart failure, early kidney failure, high blood pressure, and more. Changing her diet allowed to her to get off her insulin in 3 days and reverse all her conditions in 3 months and lose 43 pounds. This is not a miracle. It is science and it available to everyone now. Now more than ever, is the time to double down on self-care—not just for ourselves, but as our civic responsibility to contribute to the solution. There are five things that will help us minimize suffering, loss, and death, by slowing and stopping the pandemic: Keep reading here: https://www.drhyman.com/c19
