#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. 00:00 Introduction 02:17 Meet Dr. Paul Harris 04:34 How Viruses Enter Cells 06:51 Long COVID Symptoms Explained 09:08 Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Stress Connection 11:25 Impact on Mitochondria and ATP Production 13:42 Fasting, Healing, and Immune Reset 15:59 Organ Systems Affected by Long COVID 18:16 Cardiovascular Complications and PET Scans 20:33 Autonomic Nervous System Imbalance 22:50 Autoimmunity and Three Stages of Progression 25:07 TH1 vs TH2 Immune System Balance 27:24 Functional Medicine vs Conventional Medicine 29:41 Supplements and Nutraceutical Approaches 31:58 NAC, C15, and Repairing Cell Membranes 34:15 Cardiovascular Endothelial Damage Explained 36:32 Gut Health, Leaky Gut, and Brain Fog 38:49 Detox Pathways and Protein Cleanse 41:06 Closing Thoughts and Outro Follow Soaak & The Science of Sound Podcast: Website – Soaak Technologies App – Soaak Frequency Therapy Instagram – @thesoaakpodcast Sponsors: Visit soaak.com/app and enter code Soaakpod for your first month free!
