Podcasts about viral infections

Learn exactly how the flu makes you sick and how to interrupt each phase of infection. Discover the science-backed supplements that act as "fire extinguishers" for inflammation, why vitamin D and NAC are essential during flu season, and how to support your immune system before, during, and after viral infections to recover faster and stay healthier year-round. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS The flu is a viral infection that never truly leaves your body – it can lay dormant and flare up during times of stress, making prevention and immune support crucial year-round, not just during illness. Vitamin D and NAC are your immune system's "fire extinguishers" – both reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (like TNF-α and IL-6) that cause severe lung inflammation during flu infections, helping you recover faster and experience less severe symptoms. NAC does triple duty during flu season – it thins mucus for easier breathing, reduces inflammation in the lungs, and boosts glutathione production (your body's master antioxidant) to fight viral infections more effectively. Most people are deficient in the nutrients needed to fight flu – vitamin D deficiency affects most of the population, and low levels of glutathione, zinc, and selenium make you more vulnerable to severe viral infections and slower recovery. Viral infections deplete your adrenal glands – the constant stress response during and after flu infection tanks your HRV and DHEAS levels, requiring adrenal support to fully recover and prevent long-term fatigue or autoimmune-like symptoms. FEATURED PRODUCT The D - provides 5,000 IU of vitamin D3, which acts as a "fire extinguisher" for inflammatory cytokines released during viral infections, reducing lung inflammation and supporting your body's natural immune response.  Find it here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/the-d TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – START 02:45 – Why the flu is a viral infection that never leaves your body 05:30 – How respiratory viruses spread and enter your system 08:15 – NAC: The game-changer for mucus, allergies, and lung inflammation 12:40 – Why vitamin D is your immune system's most powerful tool 16:20 – The science of inflammatory cytokines and how they damage your lungs 20:10 – Vitamin D studies: 10,000 IU protocol for flu prevention 24:35 – NAC and glutathione: Your body's master antioxidants explained 28:50 – Why people with fatty liver get sicker from viral infections 32:15 – Lysine, zinc, and selenium: Additional immune support nutrients 36:40 – The IV therapy protocol for sick patients in clinical practice 40:20 – Supporting your adrenal glands after flu infection 43:15 – HRV tracking and how to measure your body's stress response 46:00 – Product recommendations: The D, NAC+, Zen, and Gut Powder RESOURCES NAC Benefits for Health – https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/nac-benefit-health-3573010/ Evidence that Vitamin D Supplementation Could Reduce Risk of Influenza and COVID-19 Infections and Deaths – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231123/ Vitamin D and Respiratory Health – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4488782/ The Antioxidant Role of Non-Vitamin, Non-Mineral Micronutrients – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8234027/ N-Acetylcysteine and Respiratory Diseases – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11278452/ The Role of Zinc in Antiviral Immunity – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8349606/ Selenium Supplementation and Influenza Vaccine Response – https://brieflands.com/journals/jkums/articles/69746 Selenium and Viral Infections – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6769590/ Immune Activation and Autonomic Nervous System in Post-Viral Fatigue – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10795785/ Long COVID and Heart Rate Variability Study – https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/long-covid-changes-heart-rate-variability-study-suggests CONNECT

Maria Barna is an authority on ribosomes – “life's most ancient and spectacular molecular machines.” Ribosomes make proteins in the body. There can be a thousand different types of ribosomes in a single cell, she says, each with a specific job to do. But sometimes things go awry and ribosomes get “hijacked,” leading to disease. Barna studies these “diabolical” variations to find new therapies to treat diseases ranging from cancer and COVID to Parkinson's. When diseases hit, it's all about the ribosomes, Barna tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Could a past virus be the missing link behind your Hashimoto's? In this episode of Paloma's My Thyroid Health podcast, we unravel the hidden connection between viral infections and Hashimoto's thyroiditis — and what that means for your health.Join Paloma Health as we explore:How your immune system's fight against a virus can backfire, triggering an autoimmune attack on your thyroid through a phenomenon called molecular mimicry. The surprising way certain viruses—like EBV, CMV, enteroviruses, and even COVID-19—may directly infect thyroid cells, fueling chronic inflammation and autoimmune flares. Why some viral infections lie dormant only to reawaken later, reactivating your immune system and worsening thyroid autoimmunity. Real-world strategies for supporting your thyroid when viral triggers are involved: immune resilience, monitoring, and balancing inflammation. If you've ever wondered why your Hashimoto's symptoms flare, or felt like your thyroid health has chronically “off” sessions — this episode shines a light on a lesser-known piece of the puzzle.

FSM can be especially effective in treating concussive injuries and vestibular disorders that often go unnoticed. This requires practitioners to be vigilant about symptoms related to balance, cognitive function, and anxiety. Conducting a vestibular screen ensures a comprehensive diagnosis and informed treatment plan. ### Practical Applications and Case Studies Clinical applications of FSM extend beyond typical pain management. For example, spatial coordination and movement confidence can significantly impact rehabilitation outcomes. Using FSM to treat proprioceptive deficits aids in the activation and strengthening of muscles such as the serratus and latissimus dorsi to restore proper motor functions. This approach underscores the importance of treating the origin of muscular or neurological dysfunction rather than just the symptoms. ### Leveraging Case Histories in Rehabilitation Case studies offer valuable insights, underscoring the importance of integrating clinical experience with FSM protocols. Compiling detailed patient histories and clinical outcomes can guide effective case management, allowing practitioners to evolve their practices to better serve patients. For instance, addressing afflictions such as Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) or Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) through tailored FSM protocols can yield a significant improvement in symptoms. Offering a custom care approach—like running shingles protocols for specific viruses—enhances treatment efficacy. ### Integrating Continuous Learning and Patient Engagement Encouraging active recovery and integrating FSM into patient care plans should involve continuous patient education and engagement. By explaining the treatment process and leveraging FSM technology, practitioners can foster patient buy-in and collaboration, vital components for successful health outcomes. Building a rapport and fostering a sense of safety can turn routine appointments into positive, transformative experiences for patients. ### Empowering Practitioners with FSM Tools The use of FSM goes beyond application to include training on recognizing patterns of symptoms that suggest deeper, unaddressed disorders. By learning to screen for and identify conditions like vestibular disorders, practitioners can direct patients toward appropriate resources and interventions—such as recommending 3D imaging or vestibular rehabilitation. ### Moving Forward with Confidence and Fun The journey toward excellence is rooted in a practitioner's ability to find joy and satisfaction in patient successes achieved through FSM. As practitioners explore these therapies with enthusiasm, they foster an environment of positivity that resonates with patients, enhancing experiences and encouraging recovery.

Scotty's symptom list is so long I'm not sure I can remember it all to include here, but let's give it a try: back, neck, foot, leg, arm, wrist pain, "tennis elbow," pelvic and groin pain, anxiety, panic, depression, dissociation, tooth sensitivity, burning mouth, and post viral infection symptoms. When you listen, you'll hear the whole thing from his mouth! It may sound unusual, but often in the rearview mirror we end up identifying a lifetime of TMS that has plagued us and led us to live in fear. As I always advise, Scotty took the medical route for each of these diagnoses, but found himself despairing with no enduring solutions. When he finally came upon the work of Dr. Sarno, the game began to change. When he found my work via a YouTube interview I gave, everything started to make sense. Join us today for a conversation with someone who REALLY talks and talk and walks the walk. Loved connecting with Scotty and dropping so many moments of truth. You're sure to be motivated to keep going. Lots of love to everyone out there. It takes willingness and intention, but this work can change your life. XOOX n.

What's the problem with antibiotics anyway? On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared passionately answers this question. There is no antibiotic that doesn't cause harm. That's not to say they don't have their place, but as Jared explains, they are almost never necessary and almost always prescribed for common problems like UTI's and sinus infections. You'll learn why many infections don't need, and won't respond to antibiotics, the ramifications of even a single dose of antibiotics, and how antibiotic superbugs are a real problem. Jared delves into why antibiotics are overused, side effects of particularly dangerous forms, and the effects on mental health and the immune system. This show will be followed with one on antibiotic alternatives and ways to rebuild your microbiome after antibiotic exposure.Additional Information:#264: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 1 - From Addiction and Mental Illness to Vitality#266: Prescribing Poisons Part 2.

It's been an unusually tough winter virus season. Rates of flu-like infections are higher than they've been in nearly 30 years. And for the first winter since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, flu deaths have surpassed COVID deaths. Add to that a higher-than-average year for norovirus, a nasty type of stomach bug.Then there's the emerging threat of avian flu. While there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission of the virus, about 70 people in the US have contracted the virus from livestock since April 2024.To make sense of the latest viral trends, Host Flora Lichtman talks with Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, epidemiologist and author of the newsletter “Your Local Epidemiologist”; and Dr. Erica Shenoy, chief of infection control at Mass General Brigham hospital.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Send us a textIn this episode, VJ explores the fascinating connection between viral infections and autoimmune diseases. From Type 1 Diabetes to Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), research shows that certain viruses can trigger autoimmune responses in genetically susceptible individuals.VJ discusses three key viruses—Coxsackievirus, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and Parvovirus B19—and how they may initiate chronic autoimmune conditions through a process called molecular mimicry. You'll learn about the latest research on these viral triggers, the mechanisms involved, and the potential for preventive and therapeutic approaches in the future.Key highlights:- Coxsackievirus and its role in triggering Type 1 Diabetes. Study here. - Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation and its link to Rheumatoid Arthritis. Study here. - How Parvovirus B19 may contribute to the onset of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Study here. We also touch on the connection between EBV reactivation and viral exposure, explaining how immune suppression during or after infection may trigger EBV reactivation, potentially leading to post-viral symptoms.Want to join my new program, The Inflammation Reset, designed to help you tackle inflammation at its source and reclaim your health?

Send us a Text Message.On March 11, 2020, after over 118,000 cases of COVID-19 had been reported in 114 countries, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The term Long COVID began popping up across the globe shortly after. People with Long COVID experience any combination of a huge number of symptoms that range from gastrointestinal issues to brain fog to extreme exhaustion and an inability to do what were once pretty simple tasks like getting dressed, preparing meals, or even getting out of bed.Although we have a ways to go before we understand a disease as complex as Long COVID, over the last few years scientists have made significant research strides and the millions of people suffering from Long COVID have brought light to health conditions including ME/CFS, that many people didn't previously realize existed. In this episode, you'll hear from an ME/CFS researcher, a Long COVID patient about her difficult and winding experience to understand what was happening in her body following a COVID infection, and a journalist and author who recently wrote a book on Long COVID.Here's a link to Ryan Prior's book, The Long Haul: How Long Covid Survivors Are Revolutionizing Health Care.
