A recent multi-center study from Shenzhen and Shanghai China showed that the human cathelicidin LL37 provides protection against SARS-Cov-2 in 2 ways. It blocks the spike protein and Cloaks the ACE2 receptor. This dual-action Makes LL37 a strong player in both the prevention and therapy treating the COVID Infection. We discuss the implications of this study against the Current backdrop of available treatments. PLUS Carl reviews his Current blood work with an Inside Tracker advisor to see how he’s holding up at 63 years old, and what he Can do differently to improve his healthy aging.

The Pep Talk: LL37 Protects Against COVID Infection + Inside Tracker Review’s Carl's Blood Work
[6:14] The antiviral and antimicrobial effects of LL-37
[12:15] Why does sun exposure increase LL-37 levels?
[18:10] The importance of finding a compromise between risk vs. reward.
[21:37] Is it possible for LL-37 to help people that have trouble with the vaccine?
[30:45] Does the LL-37 have to be taken intranasally?

- If taking multiple doses, keep the doses low. It is cytotoxic at higher levels.
- It is also an antimicrobial in the gut.
[36:00] Accidental intravenous injection of the vaccine.
[41:00] Potential therapeutic benefits of LL-37 for long covid.
[52:25] Where can people get LL-37?
[54:55] The importance of vitamin D.
- Modulates genes that expresses LL-37.
[56:40] Nasal xylitol has been shown to kill ~90% of the virus.
[1:02:20] Carl’s bloodwork with inside tracker.
[1:06:32] As men age, their bodies are more conservative with the testosterone that they produce.
[1:11:30] Curcumin’s ability to inhibit iron absorption.
[1:14:47] Lowering LDL.
