451 –Long COVID & Spike Protein Update_ May Explains Feeling Better After 3 Years

May and Tim revisit her long COVID journey with a real progress update. After exponentially climbing spike protein antibody levels (12,000+ on LabCorp’s quantitative test), autoimmune symptoms, and MCAS flares, May has finally turned a corner — and she walks listeners through what’s working and why. Topics covered in this episode: Why the LabCorp quantitative spike antibody test (~$69) is more useful than Quest, which caps out at 2,500 What “normal” post-infection or post-vaccination antibody levels should look like vs. climbing pathological levels Why differentiating between vaccine-induced and infection-induced spike may matter less now, given widespread re-exposure and shedding The autoimmune and MCAS face of spikeopathy that doesn’t get enough press compared to cardiorespiratory and clotting presentations The peptide protocol making the biggest difference for May, including dosing approach and cycling considerations How AI tools can help schedule complex supplement and peptide stacks Why May is layering insights from Peter McCullough (nattokinase), Tina Peers (NAC), Sabine Hazan (microbiome), and Tyler Panzner (genetics) rather than chasing one protocol Warning signs to watch for when evaluating influencers and “miracle cure” claims (nicotine patches, single-fix narratives) Why Tim believes post-COVID spikeopathy will be a larger long-term public health issue than the acute pandemic itself How to find a clinician who looks at the whole picture (genetics, epigenetics, microbiome, baseline labs) If you’ve been told “it can’t be COVID” or you’re chasing weird, unexplained symptoms that don’t add up, this episode is for you.
