Post-Viral Recovery Support

A metabolic approach to Long COVID.

If you never fully bounced back — the fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, and crashes that linger — you’re not imagining it. We work to calm the lingering inflammation, restore mitochondrial energy, and rebuild the systems Long COVID disrupts.

The Science

When the virus leaves but the disruption stays.

For many people, COVID sets off a cascade that doesn’t resolve on schedule. Research points to several overlapping mechanisms behind lingering symptoms: persistent immune activation and inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, vascular and microclotting changes, and the reactivation of dormant viruses like EBV.

These aren’t separate problems — they feed each other, which is why Long COVID can look so different from person to person and why single-symptom treatment often falls short.

A terrain-based approach addresses the whole cascade: lower the inflammation, support the mitochondria and blood vessels, and calm the overactive immune response so the body can finish recovering.

How We Approach It

We map your specific pattern — fatigue, cognitive, cardiovascular, or a mix — and support the systems driving it. The focus is rebuilding energy, calming inflammation, and restoring function at a pace your body can tolerate.

Root Drivers

What keeps Long COVID going.

Lingering symptoms usually come from several mechanisms at once. We investigate each rather than chasing one symptom.

Persistent Immune Activation

The immune system can stay switched on long after the infection clears, driving inflammation, fatigue, and post-exertional crashes. Calming it is central to recovery.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction

COVID can damage the cellular engines that make energy, leaving profound fatigue and exercise intolerance. Rebuilding mitochondrial capacity is foundational.

Vascular & Viral Reactivation

Microclotting and blood-vessel changes limit oxygen delivery, while dormant viruses like EBV can reactivate — both keeping symptoms alive. We address both directly.

What We Work On

Six systems Long COVID disrupts.

Recovery is whole-body. These are the systems we assess and support.

Mitochondrial Function

Rebuilding the cellular energy that fatigue and crashes drain.

Immune Regulation

Calming the persistent immune activation driving inflammation.

Vascular & Oxygenation

Supporting healthy circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues.

Gut & Microbiome

Restoring the gut, which shapes immune tone and recovery.

Nervous System

Rebalancing the autonomic nervous system behind dizziness and crashes.

Nutrient Status

Repleting the nutrients a prolonged illness depletes.

Who This Is For

Support for the long haul.

Whether it’s been months or years, post-viral recovery work applies. Symptoms and situations we support include:

Post-COVID fatigueBrain fog & memory changesPost-exertional crashesBreathlessnessRacing heart / POTS-type symptomsLoss of staminaLingering inflammationSleep disruptionReactivated EBV / virusesRecurrent infectionsNot bouncing backRebuilding capacity
How We Work

The tools we bring to every plan.

Functional Lab Work

We look at the markers that explain lingering symptoms — inflammation and clotting markers, mitochondrial and metabolic status, thyroid, nutrients, and viral reactivation. The goal is to map your specific recovery roadblocks.

Common Panels
  • hs-CRP, d-dimer & inflammatory markers
  • Organic acids & mitochondrial markers
  • Full thyroid panel
  • Vitamin D, B12 & nutrient status
  • EBV & viral reactivation panel
  • Fasting insulin & metabolic markers

Nutrition & Recovery Strategy

A nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory nutrition plan paced to your energy envelope — supporting mitochondria and immune balance without triggering post-exertional crashes.

Approaches We Use
  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition
  • Mitochondrial cofactor support
  • Blood-sugar stabilization
  • Paced recovery & energy management
  • Nutrient repletion

IV Therapy & Targeted Support

NAD+, high-dose vitamin C, glutathione, and customized IV formulations to lower inflammation, support mitochondria, and speed recovery — a mainstay for post-viral rebuilding.

Frequently Used
  • NAD+ support
  • High-dose vitamin C
  • Glutathione & antioxidants
  • Myers’ cocktail
  • B-complex & magnesium

Common Questions

Questions about covid long haul, answered.

Can functional medicine help with Long COVID?
We support the overlapping drivers behind lingering symptoms — persistent inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, vascular changes, and viral reactivation — and pace recovery to your tolerance.
Why do my Long COVID symptoms keep coming back?
Long COVID usually involves several mechanisms feeding each other, which is why single-symptom treatment often falls short. A terrain-based plan addresses the whole cascade so the body can finish recovering.
Do you take insurance?
We are a fee-for-service practice. We accept HSA and FSA, and offer in-person visits in Minnetonka and virtual visits. Cost and options are reviewed at your consultation.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies widely. Many patients rebuild energy and function gradually over a few months, with pacing to avoid post-exertional crashes along the way.
