Aaron Hartman, MD, describes post-Covid Inflammatory Syndrome as inflammation-driven illness after acute COVID-19, not persistent virus. He's launching a community for long haulers to learn functional medicine approaches to reduce inflammation and connect with others facing the same condition.

I would like to share with you about a course I'm starting relating to long haulers, long Covid or those who, after contracting COVID 19, continue to have health issues related to their acute infection. I am referring to this as post Covid Inflammatory syndrome because the underlying root cause of this syndrome is inflammation, not the virus itself. The concept of a post infectious inflammatory syndrome is not a new one. There are many examples of post infectious syndromes ranging from post infectious colitis, post mononucleosis, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia to post Lyme syndrome. The thing that is new is the novel SARS CoV2 virus that millions around the country are being exposed to over a short period of time. If you'd like to join a community aimed at helping you overcome isolation, learn more about this new disease and how it transforms from acute infection into into an inflammatory syndrome, and how to help your body resolve this inflammation using a functional medicine approach, please click below.
