Hello. We are the Leaves. Sorry weโ€™re still sitting in your garden beds and under your bushes in March.
You want to rake us up and "clean" the yard, but please wait! Right now, thousands of beneficial bees, ladybugs, and butterflies (like the Luna Moth) are still sleeping in our layers.
94% of butterflies and moths spend the winter in the leaf litter.
If you bag us up today, youโ€™re bagging up the pollinators that make your garden beautiful. We are the "insulation" that keeps the next generation of life alive.
What to do: Wait until the temperature is consistently above 50ยฐF for a week before you do your spring "cleanup." Let the bugs wake up first!
Weโ€™re sorry we look "unkept." But the garden will be exploding with life because of us.

Wishing you a beautiful new season!๐Ÿ˜Šโค

Tai Chi Chih is a series of 19 gentle movements and one pose, which are easy to learn and can even be done while seated.
The pupose is to circulate and balance the energy or โ€œChiโ€ within the body. As the internal energy circulates and comes
into balance, health improves and there is an overall sense of well-being and joy.

Long Covid Awareness 2026


Dr. Robert Groysman writes,
"Long COVID fatigue is not one symptom. It can be one of six distinct mechanisms requiring different treatments.

Autonomic fatigue. This is position-dependent. It worsens with standing, sitting upright, or any sustained postural demand. Lying down provides partial relief. Tilt table testing confirms the autonomic dysfunction driving the fatigue. Treatment targets blood volume, compression, and autonomic reconditioning.

Mitochondrial fatigue. This is activity-dependent. It worsens predictably with physical or cognitive exertion and produces the crash pattern, effort followed by delayed collapse. Lactate elevates at abnormally low workloads. Two-day cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) documents the measurable decline in performance from day one to day two. Treatment targets mitochondrial cofactors and strict energy pacing.

Gut-driven fatigue. When the gut barrier becomes more permeable after COVID, bacterial endotoxins like lipopolysaccharide (LPS) enter the bloodstream and trigger persistent immune activation. This produces a heavy, systemic fatigue that worsens after certain foods and correlates with GI flares. Comprehensive stool testing and inflammatory markers help identify this pattern.

Mast cell and histamine-driven fatigue. This is reactive and trigger-dependent. It worsens with food exposures, environmental triggers, or stress. Patients describe flushing, brain fog surges, and crashes that seem to come from nowhere. Tryptase levels and response to mast cell stabilizers help confirm this pattern.

Endothelial and microvascular fatigue. This is constant, unrelated to activity or position. It feels like having the flu permanently. Elevated CRP, ESR, or inflammatory cytokine panels reveal the immune activation driving it. This fatigue does not improve with rest or position changes because the source is systemic inflammation and vascular dysfunction, not energy depletion or postural blood flow.

Hormonal fatigue. This follows a time-of-day pattern, typically worsening in the afternoon. It correlates with cortisol rhythm disruption, thyroid dysfunction, or s*x hormone depletion. A four-point salivary cortisol test maps the daily pattern. Thyroid panels including free T3 and reverse T3 identify subclinical thyroid involvement.

Most Long COVID patients have more than one mechanism operating. Treating only one leaves the others active. Identifying which types are present determines which treatments will work and which will not."

Each fatigue mechanism is covered in the relevant volume of The Complete Long COVID Handbook: dysautonomia (Vol 2), mitochondrial dysfunction (Vol 3), gut dysbiosis (Vol 4), mast cell activation (Vol 5), endothelial and inflammatory pathways (Vol 6), and hormonal disruption (Vol 7).
