Episode Details

You try the supplement everyone swears by, it does nothing in three days, and you quietly stop hoping. Dr. Jenny Tufenkian calls that the myth of the one thing, and she says it is the trap people with long COVID brain fog and fatigue get stuck in.

Dr. Tufenkian is a naturopathic physician with two decades of experience treating long COVID and ME/CFS fatigue. I asked her how you know if your fatigue is long COVID when there is no test for it, what a high spike antibody result can point to, and how to build a toolkit that fits your body rather than somebody else’s.

Key Insights:
✅ There Is No Test for Long COVID
✅ Most Spike Antibody Results Sit Near 100
✅ Brain Fog May Signal Brain Inflammation
✅ Fear of Hope Stops People Looking
✅ Treatment Often Runs Thirty to Ninety Days
✅ Alcohol Increases Inflammation in the Brain
