Now more than ever, we need to understand how to build cellular resilience for a lifetime of health for our kids. Our kids are facing an epidemic of chronic illness—by 2025, 8 in 10 kids will have a chronic diagnosis. We’ve seen with COVID-19 that preventable lifestyle diseases are the #1 risk factor for serious complications and death.
On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, I talk to Dr. Elisa Song about some of the underlying mechanisms occurring when kids get seriously sick with COVID-19, and sometimes go on to develop Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, or MIS-C. We discuss how to prevent serious complications when someone actually gets sick with COVID-19. We also talk about the best way to support the immune system during the pandemic.
