- The ragingly short-sighted risks in our reaction so far – and the response that’s most needed
- Common post-viral challenges: what research says and what to do
- Why your leadership matters now more than ever
- What patients need to hear – and this one’s gonna take some courage
- Functional imbalances and vulnerability
- The fundamental misconception being repeated over and over again

I appreciate your emphasis on resilience and on countering the fear. I would love to hear your take on vaccines if you find a way to share it.
I heard a lot of new things and will have to listen again to grasp it all. Some practical nuggets I took away is that its important to replenish magnesium and start low with vit D before increasing the D. I also learned that saccharomyces boulardii can help increase IgA.
Thank you. I look forward to your next fb live!
I am still buzzing from today’s talk. The discussion regarding developing “resilient health” was very powerful. This has made me think throughout the day how I want to super charge my patient’s mental and physical outlook for 2021. Maintaining resiliency and vitality during during COVID and beyond is a way for any and all to have a growth mindset as well as heal from their dis-ease or disease. For so many, fear, uncertainty and loss of control needs to be realigned to recapture trust. Once trust is reestablished healing, health and happiness can prevail. As a provider, I can be the stepping stone for reclaiming this long lost trust, educating with facts and as Tracy says, EMPOWERING and INSPIRING.
Oh my goodness Tracy I cannot believe the amount of information and pearls in this webinar. From mucous membrane health, glutathione, zinc, iron and copper deficiencies. I hope there is a transcript of not I will have to watch this at least 10x to get everything out of it. Thank you so much. I also appreciate early on the discussion about lack of scientific discussion/ expression.
This was full of great information! I especially appreciated the probiotic recommendations! Thank you for all the helpful knowledge!
This was LIT!!!! Seriously…I cried, I actually cried. My take away was not only the magical power of our immune systems but also how much we need microbes, nutrient dense food, vitamins, love, magic and that science /medicine / practitioners should not be fighting or more valid than the other. Thank you for this!
When the immune system is fighting, there is a battlefield inside the body. The battle outcome depends on the state the immune system is in at the start of the battle. Zinc is critical for all tissue healing. Zn strengthens the innate immune system. Zn increases T-reg cells to decrease cytokine storm. We need to encourage parasympathetic nervous system activity. Thank you, Tracy, for genuine leadership in our school.
Thank you Tracy!
So much information! I will listen again this weekend!
The pearls I took away were that interleikin 6 increases blood brain barrier permeability. Vitamin D modulates the permeability of the gut and blood brain barrier. The importance of VitaminA, Mg, zinc and copper were also interesting. Loved your analogies.
So sorry for you loss. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Thank you, Tracy!! The webinar was inspiring. I really appreciated the information on immune system regulation with the help of probiotics and as well as the information on the mucosal lining. I loved the mountain analogy and the discussion around fear driving many in society into sympathetic domination. There were so many pearls, as always. Thank you.
I wasn’t thinking of post covid symptoms as injuries. It makes absolute sense that zinc will help to heal inside the body! Thank you, Tracy!
I loved Tracy’s message and passion today. What I liked best was her coaching and inspiring us to get out there now- people need us now more than ever! The answer is within each of us to arm our bodies to be resilient and strong so we can deal with whatever virus or disease comes our way.
Thank you Tracey for those wonderful pearls. The erosion of the BBB with high IL-6 was an amazing statement and one that I did not know of. I also think melatonin, in small amounts, can be a game changer when it comes to getting deep, restorative sleep and strengthening the immune system.
What a wonderful and engaging presentation today! So many pearls! I appreciated the focus on glutathione for long haulers and the reminder to keep tabs on copper while supplementing zinc. Also the reminder that the blood brain barrier can be more permeable – great things to keep in mind.
Thank you for another great great FB live! When you said this isn’t the last virus we will face it really stuck with me. It is so important to work with our patients & clients on improving health and resilience so that the next time we face a new virus our society will be stronger, healthier, and hopefully more graceful. The importance of vitamin D, vitamin A, and zinc is an excellent pearl.
Thank you for all the useful info. What I found useful were the examples of not removing the mountain or rain…this makes it easy and clear for us as we explain the importance of taking care of our defenses/immune system to those we work with. Also so helpful were the recommendations of vitamins/ minerals/ probiotics/glutathione. I leave these talks feeling inspired and empowered. ❣️ I feel less helpless. And yes…depression is so real right now…it’s heartbreaking, My children’s father has been out of work since March due to COVID. It has impacted us all in a myriad of ways. Staying strong is not easy. Thank you again for your offerings and wisdom and support.
love this video so much tracy! inspiring and informative for all practioners and people in general! so much we don’t understand and you are providing a great service by helping us help ourselves and others, thank you!
Tracy, you were on fire! THANK YOU. I have been inspired to disseminate the truth throughout the pandemic but never more so than right now. You have done tremendous good with this FB Live to re-shape the future landscape of healthcare. I accept the obligation of empowering people to take back their health and to arrive at future challenges from a place of resiliency. The pearl that was new to me involved the role of mucosal health and secretory IgA in combating the virus. Your webinars and FB Lives are always fueled by passion, but this one was truly remarkable. Thank you again.
Wow! You are always so inspiring Tracy. This is exactly what I have been preaching in my practice for the past 9 months! I will continue and add to it with more knowledge. As an SAFM student I knew quite few pearls, but the tryptophan was powerful.
The thing i learned today was that tryptophan gets used to help macrophages fight an infection, thus depletting serotonin and melatonin causing patients to potentially not sleep well and also lose the antioxidant effects of melatonin. To me, this decrease in Seretonin also contributes to the depression many of COVID patients are suffering. One of many great pearls!! 🙂
Thank you Tracy! I learned so much from your FB live today but I think what really resonated with me is that this moment is not just an opportunity to share our knowledge and passion for better health, but we have an obligation to do so!!
Loved so many points made. Thank you so much for your inspiration, and for sharing your own personal experiences with us.
Don’t just BOOST the immune system, but have a strong regulated one! Ample and optimal levels of T reg cells are important. The easy use and essential need for zinc for T regulatory cells (wound healing etc). Being careful to have a zinc/cooper balance.
