The inspiration for Dr. Been’s ‘Long (Covid) Story Short’ came from the current need to explore chronic inflammation, as inflammatory illnesses already plagued over half of Americans and much of the global population. Furthermore, with COVID-19 and vaccines, there will be vast numbers of long COVID and vaccine injuries for years to come. We have to understand inflammation, now more than ever befor...

Long Story Short with Dr. Been Episode 17: Autophagy with Intermittent Fasting, Spermidine and Resveratrol In this lecture we explore autophagy - what it is and how it works to clear pathogens (virus, bacteria, fungus, other offending agents) from the cell. The presence of spike protein within a cell can make autophagy impossible as SARS-COV-2 and spike protein inhibits the process. To overcome th...
