COVID Long Haulers

COVID Long Haulers – Symptoms, Causes & Integrative Treatment Solutions

What Happens When COVID Doesn’t Go Away?

For many patients, COVID-19 is just the beginning. Months later, lingering symptoms—known as long COVID or COVID Long Haulers Syndrome—disrupt energy, cognition, and well-being. Even mild cases can leave people debilitated.

At Patients Medical in NYC, we specialize in root-cause healing for long haulers, using functional medicine, personalized diagnostics, and holistic treatments to restore vitality and resilience.

What is Long COVID?
Long COVID, also known as Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), refers to persistent symptoms lasting beyond four weeks after initial infection. It affects people of all ages and can mimic autoimmune, neurological, or chronic fatigue conditions.

Symptoms of COVID Long Haulers

Root Causes We Address

Integrative Treatment Approach

Advanced Diagnostic Testing

We begin with a complete workup: immune markers, gut panels, mitochondrial assessments, toxins, hormones, and viral load. These insights let us personalize your treatment to target the true drivers of your symptoms—not just the surface signs.

Diagnostic Testing

Personalized Nutrition Therapy

Healing starts in the gut. We create anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense meal plans tailored to your biochemistry. These may reduce food sensitivities, improve digestion, stabilize blood sugar, and promote mitochondrial energy—all vital for long COVID recovery.

Targeted Supplementation

Based on lab findings, we prescribe mitochondrial boosters (CoQ10, NAD+), adaptogens, antioxidants (glutathione), and immune-modulating herbs. These restore cellular energy, reduce inflammation, and repair post-viral dysfunction.

Detoxification-Protocols

Detoxification Support

Toxic overload can worsen long COVID. Our protocols include sauna therapy, liver support, binders, and chelation (if needed) to help eliminate heavy metals, plastics, mold, and other environmental triggers slowing recovery.

Mind-Body Therapies

Chronic stress worsens symptoms. We offer acupuncture, breathwork, guided meditation, and vagal tone support to calm the nervous system, improve sleep, and regulate cortisol for whole-body healing.

Conventional + Holistic Integration

We work collaboratively with your existing providers, using functional tools to reduce medication dependency while ensuring safety and symptom relief. Pharmaceuticals may be used when necessary, always in context.

Case Study: Jason's Recovery

Jason, 36, suffered from post-COVID fatigue, brain fog, and insomnia for 6 months. After diagnostic testing, he followed a detox and mitochondrial support protocol with weekly IVs and dietary shifts. Within 8 weeks, he regained energy, clarity, and sleep quality—and returned to work full-time.
