Episode 110 Long COVID & Dysautonomia: Cutting-Edge Treatments & Vagal Nerve Stimulation

  • Summary

  • Is Long COVID wreaking havoc on your nervous system? In episode 110 of The One Thing Podcast, Dr. Adam Rinde interviews Dr. Robert Groysman, an anesthesiologist (MD), and pioneer in treating dysautonomia (autonomic nervous system dysfunction) and post-viral illness. Discover groundbreaking therapies, including: * **Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS):** Learn how affordable, transcutaneous VNS can help regulate inflammation and calm your nervous system , * **Stellate Ganglion Blocks:** Understand how this procedure, initially used for PTSD, is now offering relief from Long COVID symptoms., * **The EAT Procedure:** Discover a novel Japanese therapy (epipharyngeal abrasive therapy) targeting the root causes of inflammation, even stubborn conditions like tinnitus and Eustachian tube dysfunction. Dr. Groysman shares his unique approach to treating Long COVID, focusing on four primary causes: dysautonomia, mitochondrial dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, and mast cell activation (histamine issues). He also discusses the importance of the vagus nerve in inflammation management and why standard treatments for POTS might not be enough to address the full scope of dysautonomia. **If you're struggling with Long COVID, chronic fatigue, brain fog, or other post-viral symptoms, this episode is a must-watch!**
