Description
In this course, nutritional medicine expert Dr. Alan Gaby discusses dietary modifications and nutritional supplements that may be beneficial for COVID-19. This course is heavily evidence-based and is a compilation of the latest research available. The research included is both specific to COVID-19, as well as more generally-focused about the role of nutrition in viral illness. Dr. Gaby is a gifted research reviewer and, in this presentation, distills masses of studies and reference materials into bite-sized, clinically-useful bits of information.
In the beginning of this presentation, Dr. Gaby briefly overviews the risk factors for COVID-19 including the role of sugar, obesity, food allergies, pesticides, and diabetes in immune health. He then dives deep into the possible nutritional applications. As Dr. Gaby shares, a nutritional approach to COVID-19 must be based, in part, on research related to other types of viral infections. This is so as the role of nutritional factors in COVID-19 have not been adequately studied per se. Dr. Gaby will review and analyze published research on the use of Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Zinc for COVID-19. Dr. Gaby will also highlight other potentially effective nutritional approaches, including Selenium, N-acetylcysteine, Sambucus nigra (black elderberry), and Camellia sinensis (green tea). Where available, Dr. Gaby will share the exact dosages used in the research studies. He will also provide insight into the therapeutic use of sauna and the relationship between toxins and the health of the immune system, in general, as well as for COVID-19.
This course provides a strong foundational blue-print for the approach of nutritional medicine for COVID-19 and is not to be missed.
