Covid-19 Lingering Effects
Now that more research has been released on how covid has affected all systems of the body including the neurological system, we can confidently say Neurofeedback is helping reduce symptoms most 'long-haulers' are experiencing.

For those recovering from COVID-19, I recommend regular exercise, eating a heart-healthy diet, reducing stress, and improving sleep; these are critical ways patients can rejuvenate their brain and minimize having poor outcomes in the future.”-- Majid Fotuhi, M.D., Ph.D., neurologist and medical director of NeuroGrow Brain Fitness Center in Virginia,
“The bad things that happen to our brain due to COVID-19 are often reversible,” Fotuhi said. “Our brains have neuroplasticity. Our brains have the ability to grow and heal.“
He recommends these things for his clients and we will too…
The three most important ways to boost brain performance and health involve exercise, stress and sleep.
-
Exercise more rigorously than just a walk in the park. “When you do vigorous exercise, you literally grow the size of your brain.”
-
Reduce toxic stress. “Try to limit stress by meditation, by trying to realize that life will be fine in the future or see a therapist.”
-
Make sure to sleep seven to eight hours a night. “People who sleep fewer than six hours a night are at increased risk for strokes and are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.”
​
“If you do those three things, you will have a better brain whether or not you’ve had COVID-19,” Fortuhi said.
