Long COVID and the Brain: Can Neurological Damage Be Reversed?

In this episode of the Gutsy Health Podcast, Dr. Oliver of The Neuro Clinic joins the conversation to explore long COVID, neuroinflammation, and the neurological symptoms that can linger long after an infection. They discuss brain rehabilitation, neuroplasticity, dysautonomia, and therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen, laser therapy, Alpha-Stim, RPSS, and simple neurological exercises, plus why reducing inflammation and finding the right treatment at the right time may be key to recovery.
