Uncovering the Hidden Impact of Long COVID with Dr. Paul Harris
#28: Long COVID affects millions worldwide—but what’s really happening inside the body? In this episode of The Science of Sound, host Aaron Fournier sits down with Dr. Paul Harris, Functional Medicine Detective and medical director at Soaak Technologies, to explore how viruses hijack cells, disrupt ATP energy production, and create lasting symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, cardiovascular stress, and immune dysregulation.
Dr. Harris explains how long COVID impacts the hypothalamus, nervous system, and immune seesaw between Th1 and Th2 responses, often leading to autoimmune activity and chronic inflammation. He shares insights on functional medicine strategies—including advanced lab testing, mitochondrial support, fasting, NAC supplementation, Fatty C15, binders, and the role of sound frequencies—in restoring balance and coherence to the body. If you or someone you love has struggled with lingering COVID symptoms, this conversation provides both hope and practical direction.
