Yet another study documents what we have been saying all along. More sleep at night, fewer sleep problems, and low levels of professional burnout were associated with a lower risk of developing COVID-19. In a study of 2,844 frontline healthcare workers, risk for COVID-19 dropped 12% for each additional hour of sleep they got at night.

Hypothyroidism

There has been an ongoing debate about whether people should use thyroid hormones that include liothyronine (LT3, aka Desiccated), such as Armour Thyroid, other forms of desiccated thyroid, or Cytomel; or exclusively stick to using levothyroxine (LT4, aka Synthroid). Many physicians choose the latter because they feel the long-term safety of LT3 hasn't been adequately studied.

Although it was sensible to shelter in place at the beginning of the pandemic when we were just beginning to learn about the risks of coronavirus and how it spreads, evidence is now mounting that continuing this practice may no longer be beneficial. In fact it may be quite harmful.

Social distancing and masking continue to be the more effective defense against COVID-19, along with common sense. But continuously staying in your home without ever getting out can actually be more deadly than the virus. Why?

Vitamin D

I have often discussed the importance of vitamin D in helping protect you from COVID-19. In fact, numerous studies have shown that people with low vitamin D levels are much more likely to die if they catch COVID-19. The research is so convincing that even Dr. Fauci says that he takes vitamin D supplements for this very reason. And he rarely recommends any natural treatments for health issues!
