Mark Hyman, MD | Why Did COVID Hit Americans So Hard? @drmarkhyman | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
In a recent episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, I am tackling a topic that has left an indelible mark on the world: the COVID-19 pandemic. 

As we navigate through new variants and climbing cases, it's crucial to unravel the reasons why so many Americans got so sick and died during the pandemic.

We dig into the questions of why we as a nation were so susceptible to COVID-19’s deadly effects. I also explore why and how Functional Medicine steps in where conventional approaches stumble.

In this episode, we discuss: 
- Why the U.S. had some of the worst COVID-19 outcomes
- The conventional medicine approach to the COVID-19 pandemic
- My take on COVID vaccines
- Optimizing our immune system to prevent serious infection and disease
- Preventing and recovering from illness using diet and lifestyle
- Supplements to support your immune system during cold and flu season
- Strategies for COVID infection and exposure
- Long-COVID
