Hi,

I found your post. I was curious about long covid and idiopathic weight gain. I had the same issue as you. Disproportionate weight gain from getting sick. Almost seemingly resistant to any exercise or diet modification.

My background is both in allopathic medicine (went to med school) but I was primarily an acupuncturist for 16 years. What the sum total is that I was used to thinking outside the box from regular western medicine answers.

Why I wanted to reach out is to ask if you ever heard of the theory of long covid being the product of microclots? Amyloid fibrin clots. Long story short one of the best over the counter solutions to amyloid fibrin clots is Nattokinase. It's derived from Natto, fermented soybeans.

My own symptoms besides weight loss was extreme fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath. Adrenal fatigue. Constipation.

I've really come a long way, I'm mostly a trainer now. With weight lifting regimen and self care things have gotten way better but it's still not perfect. Do some googling and personal research about nattokinase and amyloid fibrin clotting. I am using this protocol and I'm starting to see results.

I'm reaching out because your post came up when I googled long covid and thought you might benefit from this tip.

Good luck and God bless you.
