Healing from the Inside Out: Understanding Long COVID, Fatigue, and the Hidden Links to Bone Health
In this episode, Debi Robinson talks with Dr. Jenny Tufenkian, a naturopathic doctor specializing in long COVID, chronic fatigue, and environmental medicine. Together, they explore the deep connections between energy depletion, inflammation, and bone loss — and how true healing begins from within.
Dr. Jenny explains how post-viral illness and stress can disrupt your body’s terrain — the internal environment that determines how well you absorb nutrients, manage inflammation, and rebuild your bones. You’ll learn why fatigue isn’t just about energy; it’s a message from your body that something deeper needs attention.
If you’ve been struggling with exhaustion, brain fog, or unexplained bone loss, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and tools to help you recover your vitality and strength naturally.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- The connection between long COVID, chronic fatigue, and bone health
- How inflammation and acidity weaken your body’s terrain and bone-building capacity
- Why stress hormones like cortisol can dissolve bone tissue
- The importance of detoxification and restoring energy flow
- How to rebuild your body’s foundation using naturopathic and lifestyle tools
Action Steps
- Listen to your body. Fatigue is a signal that your system is out of balance, not just a lack of willpower.
- Support detox pathways. Focus on hydration, fiber-rich foods, and gentle movement to support the liver and lymphatic system.
- Reduce inflammation. Choose anti-inflammatory foods, manage stress, and prioritize quality sleep.
- Rebuild from within. Consider working with a holistic or functional practitioner to address underlying causes like gut health and adrenal fatigue.
- Stay patient. Healing deep imbalances takes time—start where you are, and be consistent with self-care practices.

Debi’s Takeaway
Your energy is your body’s currency — and when you’re constantly spending it on stress, inflammation, or recovery from illness, there’s little left for building strong bones. Healing starts when you support your body’s terrain — your gut, your detox systems, your emotional balance — so your bones can thrive again.
