High Performance Health How to treat Coronavirus with Dr Tamsin Lewis, Founder of Wellgevity
Angela is in conversation with Dr. Tamsin Lewis, medical doctor, former GB elite triathlete and founder of Wellgevity. They discuss how we can all be advocates for our own health and work with medical professionals to co-create positive ‘healthspan’ and a more intuitive sense of self.
Being heard and having someone to co-create your ‘healthspan’ is all about asking ‘How do we affect the physiology to affect the psychology? because our perceived view of self, our purpose and connectedness to others is key.
Listen in and hear about not only your ‘healthspan’ but the experience that Dr. Lewis has had with COVID19 and what you can do to be better prepared for a virus that can affect anyone and be different for everyone.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Developing psychological well-being and an intuitive sense of self is key in ‘healthspan’. It is not a generic ‘one size fits all’ and data analysis is a vital part of understanding what is affecting you and what makes a difference.
- How do we affect the physiology to affect the psychology?
- The filter on your world is dependent on your biochemistry and the dynamic interplay with others on a day to day basis.
- From an ancestral perspective, humans evolved with periods of stress followed by periods of downtime; in the world today we want to achieve optimum work all of the time. As humans, we go through periods of flux and we need to be more attune to this.
- Women have fluctuating hormone variations on a monthly basis whilst the majority of men have relatively consistent levels of testosterone. So men have far more stability. Our hormones and the variances play a huge part in how we feel and function.
Coronavirus
- The effects of this virus are unpredictable it has widespread effects that are different for different people. The widespread post-viral syndrome is extraordinary and we don’t know how long it last
- No one is immune from getting this so following the advice issued, wearing a saturation monitor, having adequate supplies of paracetamol and taking good doses of fish oil are actions everyone can implement.
- It’s an illness that is very unknown and affects people in different ways and with so many variables it’s important to not to mega dose on any single supplement.
- The virus sits around and can reactivate affecting your immune system and triggering inflammation and blood glucose level fluctuation that can take an extended time to recover from.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You can help yourself by wearing an oxygen saturation monitor and if it drops below 96, call someone’
‘We are all reaching out for some security and the issue is that there isn’t any available’
‘If you are going out you should be wearing a mask and wearing gloves because we know the most likely way this virus is shedding is through droplets’
