Have you found yourself saying, “I just haven’t felt right since COVID”?
Whether after infection or vaccination, many people are still experiencing lingering symptoms—long after their test results say they’re “clear.”

You’re not alone—and you’re definitely not imagining it.

🚨 What Are Post-COVID Symptoms (aka Long COVID)?

Post-COVID symptoms (also known as Long COVID or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC)) can show up weeks or even months after recovery. These may include:

  • ✅ Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest

  • ✅ Brain fog, poor memory, or trouble focusing

  • ✅ Anxiety, panic attacks, or mood changes

  • ✅ Dizziness, racing heart, or chest tightness

  • ✅ Joint pain or body aches

  • ✅ Gut changes like bloating, food intolerance, or nausea

  • ✅ New chemical or environmental sensitivities

Often, conventional tests come back “normal”—leaving patients frustrated and untreated. At Longevity Wellness, we go deeper.

🔬 The Integrative Approach: Functional Labs + TCM Pattern Diagnosis

Your body tells a story—and we listen to it.

At Longevity Wellness, we combine functional bloodwork with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostic principles to uncover hidden imbalances that conventional medicine may overlook. This integrative approach allows us to map your symptoms to both modern biochemistry and ancient energetic patterns.

✅ What We Test:

We begin with comprehensive functional lab testing and offer specialty panels when COVID or vaccine involvement is suspected.

Common findings include:

Lab Marker What It Means (Functional Medicine) What It Means (TCM)
Low Vitamin D3 Weak immune regulation, inflammation Kidney Yang Deficiency
High Homocysteine Oxidative stress, vascular risk Liver Constraint + Blood Stasis
Low B12/Folate/Iron Fatigue, poor focus, low oxygen Spleen Qi + Heart Blood Deficiency
High CRP (C-Reactive Protein) Inflammation/immune activation Toxic Heat or Lingering Pathogen

🧪 Specialized Post-COVID Testing Panels

When symptoms are complex or unexplainable, we may order additional panels to evaluate:

  • Spike protein fragments (S1, immune complexes)

  • Cytokine storm markers (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β)

  • Zinc/Copper ratio (for inflammatory stress)

  • Mitochondrial function → linked to fatigue and Kidney Essence

  • N vs. S antibody profiles → to distinguish infection vs. vaccine reaction

  • Blood-brain barrier permeability (for unresolved brain fog or mood issues)

  • Endothelial markers (VCAM-1, ICAM-1) → for microclotting concerns

  • Gut permeability and histamine profiles → to assess post-viral dysbiosis

These insights help explain why some people recover quickly, while others remain stuck in a cycle of dysfunction.

🧭 Common Post-COVID TCM Patterns We Treat

TCM views symptoms as patterns of imbalance—unique to each person’s constitution and history. Common post-COVID patterns include:
