Speaker: Jillian Stansbury, ND As we research the ability of COVID to enter cells through ACE receptors and to affect blood cells and clotting functions via these receptors, many researchers posit that both acute and long-term effects of the pandemic virus are due to such vascular mechanisms. Case studies indicate the virus may both harm the heart and vasculature, as well as be worse in those with preexisting metabolic insufficiency or cardio-pulmonary compromise. In light of these findings, supporting a healthy heart is more important than ever. This session will review ACE receptors functions and physiology and offer general and specific herbal options for improving vascular health and perhaps speed recovery for those with vascular sequelae.
