Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed she is experiencing lingering symptoms after a secret battle with Covid-19.
The actress explained that she tested positive for the deadly virus “early on” in the pandemic, opening up about her diagnosis in her latest Goop post.
The 48-year-old wrote: “I had COVID-19 early on, and it left me with some long-tail fatigue and brain fog.”
“In January, I had some tests done that showed really high levels of inflammation in my body. So I turned to one of the smartest experts I know in this space, the functional medicine practitioner Dr. Will Cole.”
“After he saw all my labs, he explained that this was a case where the road to healing was going to be longer than usual,” she recalled.
Gwyneth revealed she has been refraining from sugar and alcohol since her recovery, and has opted for a flexible keto and plant-based diet, while also taking supplements.
“Everything I’m doing feels good, like a gift to my body. I have energy, I’m working out in the mornings, and I’m doing an infrared sauna as often as I can, all in service of healing,” she wrote.
Back in February last year, Gwyneth took to Instagram to share a photo of her wearing a face mask on a plane.
Making reference to her role in the 2011 movie Contagion, she wrote: “En route to Paris. Paranoid? Prudent? Panicked? Placid? Pandemic? Propaganda? Paltrow’s just going to go ahead and sleep with this thing on the plane.”
“I’ve already been in this movie. Stay safe. Don’t shake hands. Wash hands frequently. 😷”
