There are so many questions about how coronavirus can impact our health, and rightfully so. This novel virus has completely changed the way we function as a society and brought about a feeling of uncertainty most of us haven\u2019t ever experienced. But we\u2019re in this together. There is, of course, a wide range of common concerns\u2014from how to protect ourselves and families to what kinds of treatment options exist\u2014but also many new conversations popping up around what supplements we can safely trust for immune strength, if it\u2019s safe to go outdoors, how the virus attaches to surfaces, and so much more.\xa0\nLast week I was lucky enough to sit down with Dr. Patrick Hanaway for a video-call to talk about these important questions from a Functional Medicine perspective.
