“In January, I did some tests that showed really high levels of inflammation in my body,” she wrote. “So I looked for one of the smartest experts I know in this space, the functional medicine practitioner Dr. Will Cole. After he saw all of my labs, he explained that this was a case where the road to healing would be longer than than usual. “
Paltrow says that while recovering from the virus, she focused on eating healthy foods and following a healthy diet, avoiding sugar or alcohol.
“I’ve been cooking a lot, and some of them are really delicious: the other day I made scallops with crispy capers and sage, asparagus with bacon vinaigrette and some artichokes with stuffed herbs and garlic. I even found a great sugar-free kimchi (Madge’s vegan kimchi daikon – it’s amazing) and a sugar-free kombucha, and I’ve been using a lot of coconut amino acids in my recipes, “she wrote.
She continued: “Everything I am doing is good, as a gift to my body. I have energy, I am working out in the morning and doing an infrared sauna whenever I can, all in the service of healing.”
She is also taking supplements “for a healthier gut” and plugged in some Goop skin products along the way.
