WE ARE ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF
LONG COVID SCIENCE
BeNourished® his now in its 5th year of supporting Long COVID clients, we have formed alliances with some of the leading scientists, researchers and laboratories within this field. Through our own dedicated research and in clici testing we have started to piece together "The Long Covid Microbiome Phenotype" and continue to explore the research and search for solutions

UK STATISTICS
"University of Southampton researchers examined information collected by NHS England that showed 4.8% of people reported having Long Covid."

LIMITED INTERVENTIONS
"The analysis of more than 750,000 responses to a GP Patient Survey found that 9.1% of people believe they may have long Covid."
UNDERDIAGNOSED
"It is estimated that around 71% of people with the condition have now had it for more than a year."
SYMPTOMS
People with Long COVID may experience health problems from different types and combinations of symptoms, including respiratory, neurological, cardiac and psychological problems. These symptoms vary widely from person to person and can be:
MANY PEOPLE MAY ALSO BE DIAGNOSED WITH:
✔️ PoTS (Post Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
✔️ MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)
✔️ hEDS (Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome)
✔️ ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Syndrome)
-
Persistent, meaning they developed during the initial COVID-19 infection and never went away
-
Recurrent, meaning they were present during the initial infection, resolved, and then returned
-
New, meaning they were not present during the initial COVID-19 infection
Symptoms of Long COVID can range in severity from mild to debilitating and may significantly impact a person’s quality of life.
HOW WE SUPPORT OUR CLIENTS WITH LONG COVID
Navigating a post covid illness can feel overwhelming, with many individuals struggling to find the right support and understanding of the complex interplay between the microbiomes, nervous system, immune and stress responses. Many people are left dealing with multiple diagnosis from may different experts but have exhausted all traditional intervention options with limited success.
Our expertise and experience lies in guiding patients through this complex journey by addressing the foundations of health. We have noticed in our clinic some (not limited to) common denominators that appear to increase the risk of developing post covid illnesses:
-
Previously healthy and busy lifestyle (which usually translates to a history of stress, over-working, over-exercising, limited rest and burnout - this can occur in both adults and children)
-
History of past GI infection / food poisoning event
-
History of immune dysfunction / recurrent infections
-
History of poly-antibiotic and PPI use
Our approach helps assess and optimise nutrition status, supports microbiome regeneration, addresses circadian misalignment and reduces inflammation.
SARS-CoV-2 as a Bacteriophage in the Human Microbiomes
Carlos Brogna's research suggests that SARS-CoV-2 acts like a bacteriophage, by infecting bacteria and directing synthesis of these toxin like peptides, which are then released into the host. It is thought that these peptides contribute to the extra-pulmonary symptoms (e.g., neurological issues) due to their neurotoxic and inflammatory effects.

SYSTEMS APPROACH TO MICROBIOME REGENERATION
Understanding the microbiome is complex and to date there is no such thing as a microbiome expert, because everyone knows a lot about very little when it comes to this area of science. Microbial communities engage in sophisticated communication and information transfer that involves classical chemical signalling to quantum mechanics. This includes quorum sensing, biofilm formation, and electrical and biophoton signalling between bacteria and where there is electric there is noise, magnetism, light and water, no one considers these facts when they study the microbiome.
The probiotic and gut health industry will have you believe that a probiotic supplement or microbiome technology is all that is needed to shift these structures, which is completely misleading. Effective treatments and interventions will require a more holistic, systems-level understanding rather than overly reductionist thinking. Over simplistic treatment approaches leads to further disruption to the microbiome and should be approached with caution in those experiencing post covid illnesses.
INVESTIGATE
Conduct a food diary analysis, OAT and stool test. Gather health history data
CALM
Temporary removal of trigger foods, supplements and chemicals that may be contributing to gastrointestinal distress
REBALANCE
Reset circadian biology, apply quantum biology tools and optimise and ongoing supplement protocol
REPOPULATE
Diversify food intake to encourage optimal regeneration and diversification of the gut microbiome
