UM. I don't 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: know if you guys have all seen it it, UM, 23 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: but as a long story short, I well, a while back, 24 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: I had COVID, and UM, I didn't really talk about 25 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: it because I was just really focused on making sure 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: that I was healthy and my family was healthy, my 27 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: husband was healthy, and you know, we were doing the 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: best that we could. UM. And you know, I learned 29 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: a lot of things in the process. UM. I was 30 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: vaccinated UM and my husband was not, which he has 31 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: since realized, like what a big mistake that was, UM, 32 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: and really, like, you know, in his mind, he's just like, well, 33 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: your vaccinated, We're good. I'm staying in the house. You know. 34 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: He had all those justifications that I know a lot 35 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: of people out there have. But what ended up happening is, 36 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, we both had COVID and we had to 37 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: quarantine from our family, and we're actually from each other 38 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: because at first, UM he tested positive first, so he, 39 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, was quarantined and then I had a feeling, 40 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: so I just quarantined myself as well into another room 41 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: until I ended up testing positive. And both of our 42 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: reactions to COVID were very different. UM. I got through it. 43 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: Quicker like I was probably only six sick for like 44 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: six days, where his was a full you know, fifteen UM. 45 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: But and you know, total mind games. Some days you 46 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: think that you're good and then the next day you're 47 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: having these intense sweats and then you know, you have 48 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: my chest really hurt, and then ribs and then for 49 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: Ed when he was super weak, and just it was 50 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: so many different things, and it really was a great 51 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: reminder how important it is, you know, to get vaccinated. 52 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: And you know, if people are saying wear a mask, 53 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: wear a mask, you know, do whatever you can, because 54 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: I can say how extremely difficult it was to not 55 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: be around my kids and to be you know, so 56 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: worried of giving it to them, you know, especially because 57 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: Slate has an autoimmune disease. And I just it was 58 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: a lot, and I wasn't really ready to talk about it. 59 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: But now here we are, UM and and really what 60 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: what triggered me talking about it is what happened to me, 61 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,559 Speaker 1: you know, much later, which was this past Saturday, UM 62 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: during COVID. The entire time when I had it, I 63 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: I my biggest thing that I was feeling was what 64 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: I called vertigo. I'm not a dot. After I don't 65 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: know what it is, but I would feel like I 66 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: was laying on a waterbed, and then when I'd get up, 67 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: I'd feel dizzy. And it kind of lingered with me 68 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: even post COVID and had been continuing to happen, but 69 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: nothing so severe, but enough so that like anybody that 70 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: follows me s, he's like, I used to run like 71 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: eight miles a day. I haven't been doing that. Like 72 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: I've been much more, you know, a bike or walk 73 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: or do a little jog or whatever it may be. 74 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: But my lifestyle has had to shift a little bit 75 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: because of this lingering, you know, kind of dizzy feeling 76 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: that I was getting um. But you know, enough time 77 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: had passed that I'm like, this shouldn't be you know, 78 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: they shouldn't be from from having COVID before. What could 79 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,119 Speaker 1: this be? I don't really know, but I was putting 80 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: it to the back, like I was putting it in 81 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: as part of the back burner. But then a wake 82 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: up call happened. Um. You know, I'm not someone who 83 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: loves to go to the doctor, to be perfectly honest, 84 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: and I'm not someone, you know, but who wants to 85 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: complain about not feeling well and all of those things. 86 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: You know, when it comes to my mental health, I'm 87 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: pretty open and vulnerable when I'm struggling. But when it 88 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: comes to my physical health, I've always had anxiety around 89 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: seeing doctors. Um. But uh so yeah. On Saturday night, 90 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: I went to sleep around like I always do. UM 91 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: and one and I both fell asleep. Cruise was in 92 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: our room, but like he has his own little bed 93 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: at the end of the end of our bed where 94 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: he sometimes sleeps. And um Slate was having a sleepover 95 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: with her best friend. And I had been told, you know, there, 96 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: UM is a chance that you know, she may wake 97 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night and want to 98 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: come home. If that happens, UM, just give us a 99 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: call and we'll come get her. I thought, you know 100 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: nothing of it. My kids wake up in the middle 101 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: of the night all the time. You know, it is 102 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: what it is. You know, the girls really wanted to 103 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: do this, and you know they love each other so great. Um. 104 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: At four am, Uh, I hear mom, mom, and I 105 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: jumped up like fast and ran into the room. And 106 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: by the time I got there, I just I couldn't 107 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: even get my bearings. I couldn't my whole like eyes 108 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: went black and I fainted, and I remember feeling I 109 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: don't even really remember, like I just remember fainting and 110 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: then just worrying about like I hope the kids are okay, 111 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: what's going on? And then I tried to quickly pull 112 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: myself up, which I have since learned you're not supposed 113 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: to do. And when I did that is when I 114 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: really fell hard and like crashed into my lip and 115 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: my I have you know, a bit of a black 116 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: eye and my cheek and you know, I have a 117 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: lot of makeup on now, but either way, it's it 118 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: was really painful, and it was dark in the room. 119 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: But then I somehow managed to just you know, kind 120 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: of lay there, and so it's like, Mom, are you okay? 121 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm fine, honey, you know, 122 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: because you just you go into fight or flight mode 123 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: and you just want your kids to feel safe. And I, 124 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: you know, asked her friend, are you okay, and she's like, yeah, 125 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: I just was wondering if you could be in here 126 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: for a little bit because I was having a hard 127 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: time sleeping. So like they didn't really understand the magnitude 128 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: of what was going on, and it's like kind of 129 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: just like handing me a blanket and I laid on 130 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: the floor in the room. And then when I came 131 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: to really in the morning and like you know, hobbled 132 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: into the room with Edwin, He's like, what is what happened? 133 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: And you know, my face and my lip everything was bleeding. 134 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: Luckily I cleaned myself up before you know, the kids 135 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: had to fully see what was going on. Um, but 136 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: it was a really scary experience and um, I still 137 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: felt really foggy and you know, just not like myself 138 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: ever since. And you know, but I'm one of those 139 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: people that when something happens, I am diligent about wanting 140 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: to understand why it happened on wanting to you know, 141 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: first my first priorities making sure the kids were okay. 142 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: They were fine, you know, they were like that, how 143 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: did that happen? Did you stand up too quick? You know, 144 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: like we all kind of tried to laugh about it. 145 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: I tried to cover my face and like, you know, 146 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: explain that it hurt, and then asks like, you know, 147 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: in the future, if this ever happens to mommy, please 148 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 1: go get daddy.

And you know, so part of 153 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: it is my own anxiety about not wanting it to 154 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: happen again, but also just trying to understand where this 155 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: is coming from and something that I've learned by you know, 156 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: things that I've looked at and so far, I've seen, 157 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: you know, a chiropractor.

There's 160 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: a method that you do that's supposed to help I 161 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: an appointment book with an E and T. I. Um, 162 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm getting my blood work today actually as soon as 163 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm done with this podcast, because I want to rule 164 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: out all things. But something that I have heard is 165 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: this is a lingering effect post COVID, So it's something 166 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: that I want to understand. I want to ask all 167 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: of the questions about what's going on with COVID right now, 168 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: how we can protect ourselves, what we should be doing, 169 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: if there's any sort of supplements or vitamins or what 170 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: I need to do to make sure that this, you know, 171 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: doesn't happen to others. And you know, so that's really 172 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: what I wanted to do this podcast about. I'm sorry 173 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: that it's not like more fun in nature. Originally I 174 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: was like, oh, we'll talk about why you know, forties 175 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: birthday rager. But you know, I think that this is 176 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: much more pressing and I really just want to provide 177 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: you guys with as much info as you can so 178 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: you can protect yourselves in your family. So, UM, let's 179 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: take a little break and then when we come back, 180 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: I'll bring on Dr Abe Malcolm. Hi, Dr Malcolm, how 181 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: are you? I'm great, Thank you, thanks so much for 182 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: joining us. I did your intro already, and you know 183 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: everyone's excited to get started and hear from you. Um 184 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: to give you, oh I'm okay, you know, to give 185 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: you a little backstory. A while back, I had COVID 186 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: and one of the lingering things that has been happening 187 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: with me has been what I have assumed is vertigo. 188 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: Have you heard that That's a common thing to happen. 189 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: So there's so many long haul effects of COVID, vertigo 190 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: is definitely one of them. If you think about. You know, 191 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: covid at its core really just caused inflammation in the body. 192 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: And whenever you have inflammation, you can get uh fluid production, 193 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: and the cause of vertigo essentially is fluid in the 194 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: inner ear that messes up the alignment of the bones 195 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: and other structures in the inner ear, so you feel 196 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: like you're moving even when you're not moving right. So, 197 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: any inflammation or fluid build up or whatnot can cause vertigo. 198 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: So that's very common with and how long do you 199 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: think it does? It just depend on the patient, because 200 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: you know, I had it a while ago. Why is 201 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: it still affecting me now? Yeah, So it really depends 202 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: on your body's response to inflammation. So women tend to 203 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: have more of a severe post infection reaction to covid 204 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: because they just generally have more inflammatory state in their body, 205 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: which is why they tend to get more blood cloths, 206 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: more complications symptoms like vertigo. So I'd say women more 207 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: than men, tend to be more affected. And then anyone 208 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: who generally speaking, is more prone to inflammation will have 209 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: a worse time with COVID than someone who and purely 210 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: these are just genetic factors. Some people are more prone 211 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: to inflammation than others. I mean, the part that was 212 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: a little bit wild to me was, you know, back 213 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: when we did have COVID, my husband had COVID as well. Um, 214 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: I was vaccinated, and I seemingly felt like I moved 215 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: through COVID pretty quickly and he was not, which is 216 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 1: you know, obviously he's like that was an ignorant choice 217 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: that I made, Like I regret that I didn't, you know, 218 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: but he had a much more severe case in the moment, 219 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: Like every day for him was, you know, worse and 220 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: worse and worse. We're like, I had a couple of 221 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: days where I was like, what's going on? You know, 222 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: but his was just have you seen that as well? 223 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: But what's the difference between you know, vax and anti 224 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: vax sure, And so he was actual wasn't He wasn't. 225 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: I was and he was not. So that really comes 226 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: down to your primary immune system's your secondary immune system. 227 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: So let's say you encounter someone who's sick and you're 228 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: not vaccinated, So your your body has B cells, which 229 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: helped prevent infection. They fight initially fight infection to help 230 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: you not get a severe infection. Once you've gotten vaccinator, 231 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: once you've had an infection, your body now has what's 232 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: called T cells. They essentially remember the virus or the 233 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: infection and then have antibodies to fight it. So in 234 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: your initial response to a to an infection, when you're 235 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: not vaccinated, that's your B cells, your primary immune system. 236 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: In your case, you had a T cell response, a 237 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: secondary response from your secondary immune system. So your husband 238 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: just might have a stronger B cell primary immune system 239 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: than you, and that's why he had an easier time initially. 240 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: But then in the long term, you know, once his 241 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: secondary immune system is pulled in, he may not have 242 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: as good of a secondary immune response as you. That's 243 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: a differentiating factor between different types of OFFCT. You know, 244 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm hearing about this a lot. How would you describe 245 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: to to people right now that are not wanting to 246 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: get vaccinated, how important that it is because what people 247 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: are seeing now is vaccinated and unvaccinated people are getting COVID. 248 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: So how is an edge CATERD way to explain to 249 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: somebody listen, you know, because and you know, I just 250 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: know I'm passionate about it. I'm like, no, you need 251 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: to be vaccinated because we need to protect you know, 252 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: our community and ourselves. But then people will say, well, 253 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, especially like people that will follow me on 254 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: Instagram or whatever, but they'll be like, well, people that 255 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: are vaccinated get it, So what does it matter? So 256 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: analogy is like a like air bag in the car, 257 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: So it's not going to stop you from getting into 258 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: the accident, but when you get into the accident, you 259 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: have an air bag to essentially lessen the load that 260 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: you of the impact that you feel from that car accident. 261 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: So what the vaccine does is it lessons that that 262 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: response that you get to COVID and diminishes it because 263 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: your body already has circulating antibodies, so you may not 264 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: see as high an amplitude of an effect from getting 265 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: the virus as someone who's unvaccinated. Um And you can 266 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: use that analogy of the air bag to to essentially understand, 267 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: like the impact still happens, you just don't fuel the 268 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: impact as much because you have an air bag there. 269 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: And that's the vaccine. Okay, I like that. I'm using it. 270 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: Um And and kind of going back to the vertigo 271 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: a little bit. What are some so so far for me, 272 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: I have done acupuncture, I've done that. I'm going to 273 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: pronounce it wrong effortly method, Yeah, definitely, yeah, really maneuver 274 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: and I'm getting blood work and I'm also going to 275 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: an e n T. But like, what are some remedies 276 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: to help ease the symptoms? So, if it's being caused 277 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,239 Speaker 1: by fluid in the inner ear, which is very possible, 278 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: you want to try to decongest as much as possible. 279 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: So I would use some flowing as you know, twice 280 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: a day in each nostril, maybe a nettie pot. I 281 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: don't if you've used one of those before. You kind 282 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: of pour fluid and one side of your nose, it 283 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: goes through and comes out the other. And the idea 284 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: that as you want to really flush out all the fluid, 285 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: you could also perhaps go to a steam room to 286 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: help get steam therapy to help loosen up some of 287 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: the mucus and the congestion in your inner ear and 288 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: your sinus passages. Whatever you can do to clear out 289 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: gung schmutz fluid in your inner ear, cavity and pathways 290 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: will help you a lot. And I have you noticed that, 291 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: you know, regardless of covid or not, when it comes 292 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: to vertical like some of the people that we're writing 293 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: in we're saying, like I've been struggling with this for years, 294 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: Like how come some people, you know, you can do 295 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: those things and it'll go away, and some it sticks 296 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, it's really a matter of again, your 297 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: body's lingering inflammatory effects, so some people tend to just 298 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: be in a pro inflammatory state. Things that enhance inflammation 299 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: in your body, stress, toxins, lack of sleep, caffeine, these 300 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: things all lead to a pro inflammatory state. So for anyone, 301 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, whether you have verigo or not, and you're 302 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: concerned about your your your your risk of COVID, I 303 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: would say, do things to lower inflammation. So meditate, get 304 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: good sleep, reduced toxins, eat a diet that's low in 305 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: inflammatory foods, like things like spicy foods, alcohol, toxins like 306 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: that will cause inflam inflammation in your body. Um so 307 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: for you, for sure, because of the symptoms that you're having, 308 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: but even for anyone whether or they have COVID, those 309 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: are all really important factors to help diminish any possible 310 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: effects of COVID. And do you think there's like a 311 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: certain way that you should be getting up so that 312 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: you don't aren't prom you know, I I felt dizzy 313 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: in my life before. But I've always been able to 314 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: catch myself. So the fact that I wasn't, I didn't 315 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: even have that like ability is what scared me and 316 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: now why I'm in my own head about it. Right. 317 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: I think for most people, your body's compensatory effect when 318 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: you stand up is to recalibrate. And your body can 319 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: recalibrate normally just fine in your case, because you've essentially 320 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: shifted the very very tight alignment of bones and fluid 321 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: and the inner ear. That's why you're, you know, exhibiting 322 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: these effects. Uh. So for for you, for sure, you know, 323 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: decongest as much as possible, you know, using those methods 324 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: that we talked about, uh and then try other methods 325 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: to help produce inflammation in your body relating to your diet, 326 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: your sleep, to your stress, and other factors that really 327 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: affect that. So you think stress can add to Certainly, 328 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: stress increases cortisol. Cortisol directly increases inflammation in your body. 329 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: You know, we take it for granted, but that's a 330 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: very common reason people's immune systems are diminished. Um, they're 331 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: more prone to infection, the more prone to adverse reactions 332 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: from getting infection. That's a really big, you know, prognostic indicator. 333 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: It's really good to know. And then now that there 334 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: is the delta variant, have you noticed a difference and 335 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: the lasting effects from COVID nineteen versus the delta variant, 336 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: or how do you know which one you've gotten, or 337 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: any of those types of things. You know, in the community, 338 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: there really isn't a lot of testing around delta. It's 339 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: we just assume people get delta when they're when they've 340 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: been vaccinated, just because the vaccines so uh susceptible to 341 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: the delta variant. Um that being said, I certainly am 342 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: seeing diminished symptoms and those who are vaccinated versus those 343 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: who are unvaccinated. In terms of the length of a sickness, 344 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: it's relatively mild so far. What I've seen in most 345 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: people who are vaccinated, you know, two to three days 346 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: of symptoms, really feeling completely better within five days, versus 347 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: those that are unvaccinated, you know, symptoms ranging from a 348 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: week to fourteen days. And then would you say that 349 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: there's a different way that people should be protecting themselves 350 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: if they're unvaccinated versus vaccinated currently, because I mean, right now, 351 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: the delta variants out with a vengeance, right, I mean, 352 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, sadly, for those that are unvaccinated, it's really 353 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: going back to the things we were doing in December 354 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: and January, so really masks all the time, social distancing, 355 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: avoiding large groups. Uh, those are all the things that 356 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: that show still should be in place for people who 357 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: are unvaccinated. And then what about for vaccinated you know, 358 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 1: I think it's it's this is a you know, balance 359 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: between living your life and living with the risk of COVID. 360 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: You know, given that for most people who have vaccinated, 361 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: the risk of severe consequences is extremely low. You know, 362 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: it's really a personal voice. Getting COVID for someone who's 363 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: vaccinated is most likely not going to be worth any 364 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: worse than getting the flu. So whether is so assuming 365 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: you don't have underlying conditions and you're not at health 366 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: risk otherwise, you know, I think you should take, you know, 367 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: reasonable efforts to avoid getting it. But I still think 368 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: people need to be able to live their lives and uh, 369 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: if they are vaccinated, they can do so in a 370 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: fairly normal fashion. And then do you think that currently 371 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: it's spreading faster in LA than anywhere else in the 372 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: United States? I think l a is just such a 373 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: unique population where we have a lot of people who 374 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: are working in fact in factories and other places where 375 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: they have to go to work and cannot work remotely, 376 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: that whenever we see a spike, we see a spike 377 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: in those populations, and that trails down to the rest 378 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: of the rest of the population. In other cities where 379 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: it's more remote workers and uh, you know, more farmland 380 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: and things like that, it doesn't seem to spike quite 381 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: as quickly in those places. However. I mean, we do 382 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: testing all over the country and we're seeing spikes in 383 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: New York and Florida, Washington and really all over the country. 384 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: And what would you say is what type of symptoms 385 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: should you be having when like you know, now you 386 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: need to like go to the hospital or you need 387 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: to go to the doctor. Because you know, we have 388 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: a friend who also somebody that was unvaccinated who got COVID. 389 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a delta variant or this, 390 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but um who's hospitalized and like very 391 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: very ill and didn't go for a long time because 392 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,239 Speaker 1: you know, Grant and Barrett, I'm gonna get through it. 393 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: And then you know, really having a hard time breathing, 394 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: like it has the tubes everything, So like, how do 395 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: you how do you know when it's time. I'm sorry 396 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: to hear that that your friend is going through that. 397 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: I think to uh, you know, relatively easy things to 398 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: track at home would be your temperature and your oxygen saturation. 399 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: So I think fevers you know, in the hundred and 400 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: one ange are relatively normal for COVID. Once it's getting 401 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: up to a hundred three hundred four, it's really hard 402 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: for your body to maintain its homeostasis and it's hydration 403 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: status at that level. So that's that's the time you 404 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: should really think about going to the hospital. In terms 405 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: of auction level, you know, your body's normal auction levels 406 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: around if it's if you're struggling a little bit, it 407 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: could be down to you may not feel it, but 408 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: if it's lower than three range, that's when you should 409 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: consider going to the hospital. And then just final question 410 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: to leave it on like a more of a positive note, 411 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: what are some things that we could be doing to 412 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: like boost our immune system right now that you know, 413 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: either supplements or you know, like I know that just 414 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: me being in sunshine and you know, having freasure, I'm 415 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: going on a walk and meditating help. But what what 416 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: else could we be doing? Yeah, and I'm sure we've 417 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: all heard these over the last year, but I'll reiterate. 418 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: You know, first of all, sleep is super important. I 419 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: try to get eight hour to sleep at night, and 420 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: I know for not everyone everyone that's not possible, but 421 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: really trying to get to that is really critical. Your 422 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: body repairs itself when you sleep. It's really important for 423 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: your immune system. In terms of your diet, you know, 424 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: people do tend to eat a lot of toxins in 425 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: their diet, and a lot of people don't even know 426 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: necessarily that they're bringing food into their body which is 427 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: causing inflammation. So you know, if you want to get 428 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: a food sensitivity test and find out if you have 429 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: small sensitivities to shellfish or nuts or other toxins, and 430 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: that's really helpful. Cutting down an alcohol and other toxins 431 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: can be helpful too for people. I know a lot 432 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: of people resorted to drinking during helse to do, but 433 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully now they can get outside and and 434 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: go exercise. What you mentioned is another really important way 435 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: of maintaining your immune system, maintaining your health, and and 436 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: really trying to stay in your tip top health. Uh 437 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: you know, mindfulness and meditation whatever that means for you. 438 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: For me, when I go running, I zone out and 439 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: it really is helpful for me. Other people do yoga, 440 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: other people meditate. So those are some really important things 441 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: you can do to maintain health. Well, I love this. 442 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Yeah, no, of course. I 463 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: I got COVID last February. Um, if you, And actually 464 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: it was my uh somebody, I think it was. My 465 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: husband was asymptomatic, and so I got it, and luckily 466 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: my I have two boys, and luckily they didn't get it. 467 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: And I saw my mom the day that I was 468 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: feeling all these I just felt really crummy and felt 469 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: really like my body ached everywhere and horrible abdominal pain. 470 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: But I went to go see my mom and thank 471 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: god I wore a mask because I was with her 472 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: inside for a while and um, and then I went 473 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: home and got super sick that night, just with like 474 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: full body aches, like just chills. Um. And then I 475 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: lasted for like three weeks where I was literally in 476 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: bed and um, couldn't you know, could barely sleep. It 477 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: felt like my muscles would being torn apart and um. 478 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: And then I had residual for two and a half. 479 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: I had residual for two and a half months, um 480 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: and uh. And then I had my first VISOR shot 481 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: when I was able to get it, and I still 482 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: had horrible pains. And then after my second visor shot, 483 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: everything went away, all my pains, everything went away. So 484 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: it's like saved me. But well, that is a huge 485 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: that that's an excellent story to share for anybody out 486 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: there who you know has already had COVID and they're like, oh, 487 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: I don't need to get vaccinated for it. Just recently, 488 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: just a week ago, my brother came back from l 489 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: A with his family and to his son and his 490 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: wife got the Delta variant and they both been vaccinated. 491 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: She got the Johnson and Johnson vaccination and she is 492 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: horribly ill still. And the son had VISOR and he 493 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: has he's positive, but he doesn't have any symptoms.
