Let It Go… Staying Strong When Others are Struggling

In this 74th episode, as I continue to recover from a bout of Covid-19, I ponder some concepts around taking on the negativity of those around us. As an empathic person, I find this to be a common challenge for me which absolutely challenges my health.

I offer a musical meditation piece called "We are Truth" which is something that speaks to me when I feel the need to remember to focus on a more centering perspective, and to let go of the things which are working against me.

We will discuss Vitamin D, Glutathione, Vitamin C, and other anti-viral support.

I find the approach of simply sheltering in place to be short sighted and not giving justice to the abundant literature that is already published around optimizing immune function. Remember, sheltering in place only helps people avoid exposure to the virus. It does nothing to help a person have a more robust immune response, and it is a healthy and robust immune response that we want to not only fight off this virus if infected, but to provide a person and the community at large a natural immunity to the virus.

Also - I now offer Covid-19 antibody testing. Find out if you’ve already been exposed and have immunity!
