Long Covid: Symptoms are Inflammation
By Russ Maher RN BSc (Hons) Cardiac, BeingWELL.Me Founder Abstract Long Covid, affecting millions worldwide, presents with persistent symptoms that share a common underlying mechanism: inflammation. This article examines the inflammatory pathways driving Long Covid symptoms and introduces evidence-based strategies through BeingWELL.Me's anti-inflammatory program, Zinzino omega-3 oil supplementation, and LifeWave phototherapy patches as complementary approaches to support recovery and symptom management.

Understanding the Inflammatory Connection
The constellation of symptoms experienced by Long Covid patients—from fatigue and brain fog to joint pain and cardiovascular issues—all point to a persistent inflammatory response. Research indicates that the immune system remains activated long after the initial infection clears, creating a cycle of chronic inflammation that affects multiple organ systems.
Key Inflammatory Pathways
Cytokine Storm Residue: Elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines can persist months after recovery
Autoimmune Components: Molecular mimicry may trigger autoimmune responses
Endothelial Dysfunction: Vascular inflammation affects circulation throughout the body
Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Inflammatory damage impairs cellular energy production
BeingWELL.Me's Anti-Inflammatory Approach
Our comprehensive program addresses Long Covid symptoms through multiple pathways:
Targeted Nutrition Protocol
Elimination of inflammatory triggers
Anti-inflammatory food selection
Personalized meal plans
Stress Management Integration
Chronic stress amplifies inflammation
Guided meditation and breathwork techniques
