In episode 493 of The Whole View podcast, Stacy and Dr. Sarah continue their dive deep into the omicron variant of covid-19, including the latest science on the causes of long-covid, and the chances of other health problems caused by covid-19 like increased diabetes risk and long-term olfactory dysfunction. Stacy and Dr. Sarah review the importance of vaccination and boosters, mask wearing and upgrading to N95 or KN95 masks, and continuing social distancing as first line protection against the Omicron variant. Stacy and Dr. Sarah then examine the links between nutrients, diet habits, and lifestyle and susceptibility to covid-19 infection, including vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, a veggie-forward diet, getting enough sleep on a consistent basis, and living an active lifestyle.
