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. 

Last 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. Dr. Hanaway is the Senior Advisor to the Institute for Functional Medicine, their COVID-19 Task Force Coordinator, and Co-Chair of the IFM Expert Advisory Board. In case you missed it, we\\u2019re sharing that as the latest episode of The Doctor\\u2019s Farmacy.

*For context, this interview was recorded on April 8, 2020.

In this episode, Dr. Hyman and Dr. Hanaway discuss:

• The role of supplements in treating COVID-19 and boosting your immune system

• What we know about taking things like vitamin D, elderberry, zinc, and other compounds to protect against COVID-19

• Is IV ozone an effective treatment option for COVID-19?

• Why what you eat is more essential than ever

• Is intermittent fasting or the ketogenic diet a good way to boost immunity? 

• The potential effectiveness of using hot-cold interaction, such as sauna, to protect against COVID-19

• How long is a person still contagious after having the virus and how long does antibody immunity last?

• Maintaining practices to ground yourself during this time
