Department of Post-Viral Recovery (Long COVID & Lyme) · East to West Wellness Center
Never fully bounced back after COVID, Lyme or another virus?
The infection was treated, but energy, sleep, focus or exercise tolerance never returned to baseline. You tried to rest and push through, but neither solved the pattern.
Sound familiar?
If this is you, you’re in the right place
- Fatigue started after an infection and never left
- Brain fog makes normal tasks harder
- Activity leads to a crash later
- Sleep does not restore energy
- Racing heart, dizziness or body aches continue
What medicine does well, and what it wasn’t built for
Why it keeps coming back
Acute treatment clears the infection, and that matters. But the immune system can stay switched on, the gut can remain disrupted and mitochondria can keep making less energy. That can leave recovery stalled even after the acute illness has passed.
That’s the part we work on. We don’t replace your doctor. We optimize the systems underneath, your metabolism, mitochondria and immune response, so your body can do what it’s built to do: heal and stay well.
Systems biology, applied to Post-Viral Recovery (Long COVID & Lyme)
The three systems we see most often
An immune system stuck on alert
Inflammation has not fully settled after the infection.
A disrupted gut
Infections and antibiotics can change the microbiome and gut lining.
Tired mitochondria
Cells make less energy, so effort can lead to crashes and pain.
Systems we check in every post-viral recovery (long covid & lyme) evaluation:
Diagnosis decides what we fix. If a system tests fine, we leave it alone and put your time and money where it matters.
How we fix it
In the order that matters
Pace and protect
Reduce crashes while establishing a safe recovery baseline.
Calm immune activation
Address inflammation that remains active.
Feed the mitochondria
Support cellular energy and recovery needs.
Reset sleep and the nervous system
Support restorative sleep and regulation.
What we measure
Your numbers, re-tested
We only order what would change your plan, and we tell you up front which tests may be covered.
Our tools
Acupuncture and electroacupuncture, clinical nutrition, medical-grade supplements and herbal prescriptions, moxibustion and red light. When you need more, our physician partners and your own specialists are part of the plan.
What patients say
★★★★★I am so grateful for Gregs help during the pandemic while I was working on the frontline with Covid-19 patient's. The acupuncture, herbs, and knowledge made such a difference in my health and made me feel better.

Our offer
A personalized care plan, backed by your own markers
Every department offers the same thing: a time-based plan built for your issue. Testing, mapping where the problem started, a written plan, treatments, clinical nutrition, and supplement and herbal prescriptions, all aimed at your issue instead of piecemeal visits. Acupuncture is our super-specialty, and many plans work with or without it.
| East to West care plan | One-size protocol | |
|---|---|---|
| How it’s built | From your testing and your history | The same steps for everyone with the same complaint |
| What it targets | The systems underneath, in the order that matters for you | The symptom you walked in with |
| How you know it’s working | Markers agreed up front, re-tested | You guess |
| What backs it | Progress Guarantee tied to those markers | Nothing |
| What you take home | A System Map and a roadmap for you and your doctors | A product list |
Every plan comes with our Progress Guarantee. Before we start, we agree on the markers we’ll track: your symptom score plus two or three lab or clinical markers that can realistically change. If you’ve done your part and we haven’t hit them in your plan’s time frame, we keep working with you at a reduced rate or add complimentary care. We promise the work and the measurement, not a cure.

The one place to start
Plans, not protocols. It starts with your Systems Biology Evaluation.
You know you have the problem. What nobody has shown you is how your symptom ties back to your metabolism, inflammation and immune system. That connection is our specialty.
- We map your chief complaint back to every system driving it.
- We decide which tests you actually need, and tell you which may be covered and which aren’t.
- We lay out your plan and timeline, with options for how many treatments and how long.
- You leave with your one-page System Map: where the problem sits, which systems are involved, and how we’ll address each one, in order.
Sometimes the answer is simple. If it’s a local problem, you may only need acupuncture, and we’ll tell you that.
