Long Covid Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jackie Baxter
The Podcast by and for Long Covid sufferers. Long Covid is estimated to affect at around 1 in 5 people infected with Covid-19. Some of these people recover within a few months, but there are many who have been suffering for well over a year.There is currently no cure for Long Covid, and the thousands of people still ill have been searching for answers for a long time. In this podcast I hope to explore some of the problems and possible solutions, mixed with personal experience from those who know it best - the Long Haulers. The Long Covid Podcast is currently self-funded. This podcast will always remain free, but if you like what you hear and are able to, please head along to www.buymeacoffee.com/longcovidpod to help me cover costs. ~ Follow me on: Facebook @longcovidpodcast ~ Instagram @longcovidpod ~ Twitter @longcovidpod ~ Website www.LongCovidPodcast.com ~ Please do get in touch with feedback and suggestions, either via the social media links or at longcovidpodcast@gmail.com - I'd love to hear from you.

I catch up with pain consultant Dr Deepak Ravindran on what four years of Long Covid clinic work and research has taught him about why people get stuck with fatigue, pain, brain fog and autonomic symptoms. We argue for a practical middle path that validates biological change while using neuroplasticity and whole-person support to help the system relearn safety and move forwards.
• Deepak’s shift from pain medicine into leading a Berkshire Long Covid clinic and what patterns stood out over time
• Why most Long Covid patients were not hospitalised and why symptoms can still be severe
• The pressure on UK primary care and the case for better signposting to high-quality resources
• Why “either biology or brain” is the wrong frame and how the neuro-immune system acts as one unit
• What central sensitisation and predictive processing explain about persistent symptoms
• Evidence and theories: cytokines, neuro-inflammation signals, auto-antibodies, viral reservoirs and micro-clotting
• Treatment principles: combining medication trials with nervous system regulation and paced rehabilitation
• The STIMULATE ICP study approach and why integrated care pathways can outperform single-drug hopes
• Practical “waiting well” strategies: sleep, movement, breathing techniques, mindfulness and confidence-building
• Why recovery is individual, slow, and built from consistency rather than quick fixes

I'm joined by Bal Matharu to talk about how breathing links the nervous system, stress biology, and Long Covid symptoms, and why recovery often begins with creating a genuine felt sense of safety. We share practical ways to assess and change breathing patterns, plus the role of co-regulation, boundaries, and carefully held breathwork support.
• Bal’s path from advanced respiratory physiotherapy and ICU work to lifestyle medicine and PhD breathwork research
• The six pillars of lifestyle medicine and why stress management often underpins the rest
• Acute stress versus chronic stress and how the body shifts blood flow, hormones, and immune function
• Cell danger theory, mitochondria, ATP, and why fatigue can be a protection signal
• Safety as a felt sense through neuroception rather than a purely cognitive idea
• Breath assessment basics, posture, high chest breathing, diaphragm use, and longer exhales
• Overstimulation, silence avoidance, and letting emotions move through the body in short windows
• Co-regulation, practitioner capacity, and building safe spaces for nervous system work
• Boundaries, people pleasing patterns, and choosing relationships that support regulation
• Selecting credible breathwork practitioners and avoiding unsafe cathartic methods

We hear Ana’s honest recovery story, from a gradual slide into Long Covid to the moment her nervous system finally stopped treating everyday life as a threat. We talk through neurodivergence, trauma, hypermobility and the practical tools that helped her rebuild a calm, creative life.
• The slow build of stressors that leads to a major crash
• Hypermobility and why intense workouts can backfire
• ADHD and autism discovery and how it reframes burnout
• Tests, uncertainty and how fear can keep symptoms loud
• Restrictive diets, supplement spirals and removing fear around food
• Nervous system regulation using polyvagal ideas and body listening
• Meditation with music, creative visualisation and breathing
• Trauma as unmet safety needs plus small experiences that stack up
• The “spreading” practice and learning to handle activation
• Returning to work slowly and dropping all-or-nothing thinking
• Creativity as a recovery pillar and building a life that fits

I share three common recovery traps and how we can find our way out of them without blame. Today's episode focuses on pacing, nervous system safety, and emotional processing so your body can stabilise and move forwards.
• Pushing too hard on a better day and triggering the boom and bust cycle
• Banking energy for healing by spending some, enjoying some, and saving some
• Stepping off the symptom-fixing merry-go-round and reducing pressure
• Creating safety through kindness, gentleness, and small consistent cues
• Recognising the emotional load of long COVID, ME/CFS, and health challenges
• Finding a safe place to feel emotions without judgement
So do let me know how you get on, if these resonate with you, and if you've noticed any other common recovery traps that you might be getting waylaid by.

I talk with Jacqui from New Zealand about dropping from a high-energy, ultra-active life into severe Long Covid, then building her way back to running, swimming and full work. Mel Abbott joins us to explain why calming the stress response comes before increasing activity, and how tools like breathwork, visualisation and emotional processing can change the trajectory.
• Jacqui’s pre-illness pace as a high achiever and endurance athlete
• Catching Covid during grief and prolonged stress, then dismissing the risk the second time
• The slide into dizziness, dysautonomia and post-exertional malaise after pushing through
• Hitting a severe crash, insomnia and becoming bedbound with full-time care needs
• The first shift: education about the nervous system, threat responses and prediction loops
• Practical regulation: frequent calming exercises, breathing, meditation and timers
• Using visualisation to rebuild safety and confidence before returning to exercise
• Gradual return to normal life: walking, driving, swimming, cycling and running
• Handling setbacks and symptom flares by reducing fear and regulating stress
• Maintaining wellness long-term with compassion, flexible movement and emotional tools

In this episode of the Long Covid Podcast, I explore one of the most common — and often most confusing — parts of recovery: overwhelm.
Overwhelm can feel like your whole system suddenly says “too much”:
too much noise, too many sensations, too many decisions, too many feelings, too much uncertainty. It can build slowly over time or arrive out of nowhere — and in Long Covid, ME/CFS, & other post-viral conditions, it often shows up faster and more intensely than before you were ill.
In this gentle, practical episode, I look at:
- What overwhelm actually is
- How overwhelm shows up in the body
- Why overwhelm is so common in recovery
- Reframing overwhelm as communication, not failure
- Practical tips to avoid overwhelm, and to meet it when it hits
By the end of this episode, my hope is that you feel less alone, less confused by your own reactions, and more equipped with language and understanding that can help you navigate overwhelm with more compassion for yourself.

We hear Lalita’s Long Covid recovery story, from tachycardia and air hunger to a steady return to health by focusing on nervous system safety. We share practical tools for regulating symptoms in the moment, plus the mindset shifts that make self-compassion possible when you’ve been dismissed or frightened.
• Early signs after COVID including raised blood pressure, numb lips and fatigue
• Second infection followed by tachycardia, dizziness, vertigo, chest tightness, brain fog and air hunger
• Repeated emergency visits and the impact of being told it is anxiety
• Understanding Dysautonomia and the autonomic nervous system as a unifying explanation
• Combining nervous system work with naturopath-guided supplements and gut support
• Using Bowen therapy, Craniosacral work and sleep practices such as yoga nidra
• What bioresonance is and why some people use it to check for layers of stressors
• Breathwork as the main anchor, including longer exhales and quick calming techniques
• Stacking breath with tapping, somatic tracking and reassuring self-talk to build “proof of safety”
• Emotional processing with body scans and EAET-style exploration of deeper patterns
• A client case study showing how addressing stress and trauma can reduce symptoms fast

I'm joined by Pierre Brunschwig & Margaret Hampton as we explore how Chinese medicine and conventional western medicine can work together to treat Long Covid, where symptoms are complex and constantly shifting. We focus on subtypes, nervous system safety, immune recovery and the practical foundations that help people feel like themselves again.
• Why combining medical “languages” can fill treatment gaps
• Subtyping Long Covid and treating the person rather than the label
• The five foundations: sleep, diet, inner life, outer life and movement
• Acupuncture as a way to calm the nervous system and restore hope
• Adrenaline versus oxytocin and why safety enables healing
• Trauma, adverse childhood events and the role of somatic therapy
• Vagus nerve practices including breathwork, humming and self-soothing pressure
• Latent virus reactivation plus T cell exhaustion
• Rebuilding immune competence alongside antivirals and targeted therapies
• Building nutrient-rich blood, protein needs and why cooked food can help digestion
• Gut health basics including stomach acid support, H. pylori and probiotics
• Creating a care team that listens, pivots and fits your real life

We talk about how internalised pressure can keep the nervous system in threat mode and make recovery from Long Covid, ME/CFS and other health challenges harder, even when we are doing “all the right things”. We explore perfectionism, shame, and control, then land on practical ways to create space and choose small steps that help us feel a bit more okay.
• what internalised pressure means and why it matters for nervous system regulation
• why stress responses are meant to be short bursts, not a constant state
• how external pressures differ from unconscious inner demands
• perfectionism in recovery and how helpful practices become overscheduled
• self-criticism, shame spirals and the idea of mental self-harm
• stepping out of comparison culture and fear-driven fixing
• learning to tolerate not knowing and loosening the need for control
• using tiny actions and body-based cues to reduce overwhelm

• linking pain, GI symptoms and insomnia through fear-based conditioning
• what "psychophysiologic symptom relief therapy" taught her
• outcome independence and reducing sleep pressure
• practical insomnia steps using soothing phrases and data
• gentle exposure to feared foods and spotting inconsistent triggers
• expressive writing and creative outlets to access emotion
• personalising tools rather than copying blueprints
• measuring progress by life, not daily symptom scores
• maintenance habits to stay well and handle flares
• redefining success as wise interpretation of body signals

I talk with board-certified homeopath Roddy Schrock about what homeopathy is and why it can appeal to people recovery from Long Covid, ME/CFS and other complex, hard-to-explain symptoms. We dig into symptoms as messages, the power of deep listening, and how homeopathy can sit alongside Western medicine as one piece of a bigger recovery puzzle.
• Roddy’s path from chronic pain and insomnia to studying classical homeopathy
• Homeopathy as an energetic intervention and why the full symptom picture matters
• Dilution and succussion and what “gentle” treatment means in practice
• Using how you feel as a primary marker of progress
• Creating space to be heard as part of healing
• Working alongside GPs and specialists rather than replacing them
• A real-world case example with fatigue, migraines, cycle disruption and inflammation markers
• Avoiding protocol-driven Facebook advice and choosing a trained practitioner
• First steps including research and trusted sources like the Homeopathic Research Institute

In this solo episode, Jackie Baxter unpacks what rest really is during Long Covid and ME/CFS recovery—and why simply lying down often doesn’t feel restorative. She reframes the struggle to rest as your body’s way of protecting you, not failing you, and introduces the idea of “banking energy for healing”.
Jackie explores the different types of rest we need—physical, mental, sensory, emotional, social, creative, and nervous system rest—and how safety cues and nervous system regulation make deeper rest possible. She shares practical tools like soft exhales, visual anchors, contact points, sound cues, micro rests, pre-emptive rest, and co-regulation with supportive people or pets.
The episode closes with a gentle grounding and rest practice and affirmations to help you feel just a little softer, safer, and more present—one small step at a time.

Clare shares how her son went from a viral crash at thirteen to full, active living through pacing, autonomic nervous system retraining, and Mickel Therapy. We trace the medical dead ends, the messy middle, and the simple joy‑based habits that tipped him into lasting recovery.
• early sensitivity shaped by stress and frequent infections
• onset at secondary school, loss of attendance and friends
• visible and invisible symptoms including brain fog and dizziness
• NHS pathway, helpful GP, limits of NICE‑aligned care
• colour‑coded pacing and activity management to 40 percent
• ANS Rewire lifting function to about 80 percent
• relapse at university, boundaries and motivation to recover
• Mickel Therapy linking emotions, boundaries and symptoms
• play, novelty and joy as daily nervous system tools
• caregiver strain, what to skip, what to double down on
• life beyond illness with work, travel and climbing

We explore a mechanism-first approach to Long Covid & ME/CFS, shifting from labels to measurable neural and vascular bottlenecks that can be retrained. We share how to use dose, recovery, and sleep consolidation to build capacity through precise, small inputs that compound over time.
• reframing diagnosis as a map to mechanisms, not a label
• why cerebral perfusion and autoregulation drive symptoms
• concussion lessons that translate to Long Covid recovery
• structural vascular traps and simple tests that reveal them
• pacing versus targeted micro dosing for plasticity
• using DIY tools as experiments with clear signals
• breathing, CO2 balance, and baroreflex sensitivity
• reading feedback, spotting plateaus, shifting bottlenecks
• linking progress to recovery capacity rather than feelings

We share Ashley’s journey from bedbound to rebuilding a joyful life, showing how belief, somatic work, and gentle pacing opened a path out of long COVID. The body is not the enemy; safety, connection, and consistent practice turn symptoms from threat to guidance.
• fast pre‑illness life and early warning signs
• collapse after pushing through infection and isolation
• lack of medical answers and disbelief from clinicians
• finding recovery stories and protecting hope
• moving from trigger‑hunting to nervous system healing
• brain retraining, visualisations, somatic practices and EFT
• pacing within a true window of tolerance
• progress through consistency and self‑compassion
• redefining recovery, processing trauma and shifting limits
• life rebuilt with nature, community, creativity and work

We look squarely at the invisible load of caring for people with Long Covid and ME/CFS, why carers’ nervous systems shape recovery, and how boundaries and communication protect both sides. We share clear, humane steps that reduce burnout and build co‑regulation at home.
• Defining the carer role across partners, parents and adult children
• Why caring is invisible, isolating and exhausting
• Boundaries that prevent “fixing” and conflict
• Fluctuating illness, hypervigilance and control
• Co‑regulation and why a calm carer accelerates recovery
• Practical resets that aren’t a self‑care to‑do list
• Sharing the care, advocacy and admin load
• Vicarious trauma in carers and how to spot it
• Simple communication that honours both sets of needs
• Giving and receiving grace while recovery unfolds

I talk with author Simon Harrison about losing an active life to ME, finding a diagnosis, and rebuilding health through pacing, meditation, and a bold year seeking light in Portugal. The story is honest about setbacks and fierce about hope, with practical lessons you can apply today.
• early denial and sudden onset symptoms
• shrinking life, sensory overload, fear
• self-experimentation with meditation, breathwork, gentle movement
• diagnosis of ME/CFS and reframing recovery
• pacing, window of tolerance, damage limitation
• why more light and a change of scene helped
• recalibrating normal tiredness vs post-exertional malaise
• progress through small wins, mistakes, and self-kindness
• support from family and the cost of care
• hope as a practice and incremental gains

We explore how the vagus nerve shapes recovery from Long Covid and chronic fatigue, and why building parasympathetic tone changes sleep, digestion, pain, and mood. Carissa Conrad shares clear guidance on non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation, safe pacing, and common mistakes to avoid.
• what the vagus nerve does across heart, gut, immune and inflammation
• why sympathetic overdrive feels normal and how to spot it
• paced breathing, humming and gentle tools to build vagal tone
• what vagus nerve stimulation means and how it works
• TENS versus ultrasound, ear and neck targets, parameter basics
• passive stimulation to support busy days and low energy
• go slow: dosage, safety, and early warning signs
• using polyvagal maps to time stimulation and pacing
• avoiding boom‑and‑bust while expanding activity
• cost‑effective access, kits, and practical set‑up
• the mindset shift: nervous system literacy for life

I sit down with Lily Spechler, a registered dietitian and long hauler, to unpack why weight change in Long Covid is a metabolic story, not a willpower issue. We map a safer path: fuel first, stabilise blood sugar and blood flow, then make tiny adjustments that your body can tolerate.
• Adding 10–15% above BMR to halt weight gain and calm stress signals
• Glucose spikes from standing and why compression and electrolytes help
• Why cutting calories can worsen dysautonomia and fatigue
• Protein-forward plates with modest carbs to flatten swings
• When weight loss is medically useful in MCAS, hypermobility and sleep apnoea
• Stabilise first, then small deficits from added calories
• Safe strategies for unintentional weight loss using high calorie, low volume foods
• Using CGMs to link symptoms to glucose patterns
• Practical supports: salt, fluids, compression, pacing and low histamine choices

Creativity doesn’t just reflect our lives; it reshapes them when everything else feels fixed. I close the year by handing the mic to artists, writers, and makers whose work was forged in the long shadow of Long Covid & ME/CFS —and whose voices light the way forward.
If you’ve been searching for proof that small creative acts matter, this collection is your sign. If a line, chord, or colour stayed with you, let me know which moment moved you most.
If you'd like to be part of next year's episode, get in touch!

We go from theory to practice on beliefs and recovery, building a daily framework that protects mindset, reduces flare spirals, and turns small wins into lasting change. Practical tools include proof journaling, identity shifts, nervous system regulation, and curating what you let in.
• building a symptom and activity proof journal
• reframing setbacks as feedback not failure
• identity-based habits to support healing
• managing physiology first with breath
• countering nocebo and fear narratives
• curating social media and inputs
• progress not perfection through tiny choices
• making recovery actions feel good to repeat
• faster bouncebacks and long-term resilience

We explore how belief shapes behaviour, attention, and recovery in Long Covid and ME/CFS, separating grounded acceptance from resignation and linking science to daily choices. Stories, evidence, and small wins show why consistency and self‑compassion matter more than intensity.
• defining belief as evidence‑based stance that drives action
• antibiotics, diabetes, and stroke rehab as clear analogies
• neuroplasticity explained in plain terms
• acceptance for now versus resignation forever
• how negative narratives limit progress
• three layers of proof: rational, social, personal
• noticing micro‑wins via the brain’s filtering
• consistency over intensity in daily practices
• self‑compassion for missed days and resets
• teaser for part two on practical belief‑building

I'm joined today by Edmarie Guzman-Velez & Rudy Tanzi as we dig into a clinical trial of nicotinamide riboside for Long Covid, why NAD matters for cellular energy, and where the results show promise for fatigue, sleep, mood, and executive function. We share what worked, what did not, and the next steps.
• Overview of NAD, mitochondria, and energy in brain and immune cells
• Why Covid may deplete NAD and how NR restores it
• Trial design using intra-individual crossover with placebo run-in
• Dosing at 2,000 mg NR daily under IRB oversight
• Serial NAD blood measurements confirming a threefold rise
• Outcomes on fatigue, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, executive function
• Limits of small samples and reinfection attrition
• Safety, label guidance, and medical supervision for supplements
• Plans for biomarkers of inflammation and activity data from wearables
• Future research on symptom clusters, sex differences, and combinations

I am joined by Katie Brennan & Andrea Henkel Burke to share Katie’s Long Covid recovery, how nervous system work unlocked capacity, and why an Olympian’s playbook of pacing, breath, joint maps and cognitive drills can fit chronic illness. The theme is small, smart inputs that prevent crashes and build a stronger baseline.
• early symptoms, second infection and severe brain fog
• switching from push-through to deliberate pacing
• vagus nerve, breath and eye movement drills
• athlete mindset applied to recovery
• gentle mobility plus cognitive tasks for safer gains
• stacking tiny wins to raise baseline capacity
• diet shifts for gut health and lower inflammation
• redefining recovery through daily function and humour
• practical advice to start small and self-assess

We trace Ivor Clark’s Long Covid recovery from a 2023 infection and UTI to a careful return to work, highlighting the routines and supports that made progress possible. Pacing, breathwork, oxygen therapy, and a rare GP who listened shaped a steady path back to confidence.
• athletic past, late-pandemic infection, UTI and antibiotics complicating onset
• post-exertional malaise, normal test results, delayed Long Covid recognition
• limits of early medical support, value of an advocate and listening GP
• pacing by heart rate, non-sleep deep rest, reducing stimulants and sensory load
• hyperbaric oxygen therapy via charity, structured protocols and consistent care
• workplace adjustments, graded return, boundaries and restorative breaks
• targeted tools later: diet cleanup, selective supplements, peptides
• mindset shift from ill to deconditioned, micro-strength and balance rebuilds
• fewer crashes, rebuilding trust, gradual confidence in everyday capacity

In this gentle solo episode, I invite you to explore a powerful reframe: what if your recovery journey isn’t something happening to you, but something you’re quietly guiding? Through metaphors, practical support & ideas, and reflections, I explore how to reclaim agency in healing — even when the skies feel foggy.
You’ll learn how to:
- Shift from passive to intentional with micro-agency and sensory grounding
- Reframe inner narratives with soft, empowering language
- Use breath and boundaries as navigation tools
- Gently return to your pilot seat when setbacks arise
Whether you’re navigating Long Covid, ME/CFS, or simply seeking a more compassionate way to relate to your body, this episode offers hope, validation, and a reminder: you are not alone in the cockpit.

I talk with Kelly George about losing and rebuilding identity through Long Covid: the crashes that forced pacing, the relief of being believed, and the slow return of capacity that now lets her design a life she actually wants. Hope here isn’t vague—it’s built from activity management, nervous system care, and community that shows the way.
• life before illness as active mum and professor
• infection after mandates lifted and symptom escalation
• debilitating fatigue, brain fog and loss of identity
• isolation within relationships and shared loss framing
• early support surge then fade and asking for help
• being listened to as regulation and relief
• pacing, baseline setting and crash prevention
• links with ME/CFS knowledge and specialists
• nervous system regulation through rest and small practices
• community and CFS Health programme benefits and limits
• mindset without blame, celebrating tiny wins
• defining recovery, cautious cardio and rebuilding work
• coaching mums, caregivers and higher-ed professionals

Technology offers unprecedented access to health information, but navigating it effectively requires understanding which tools serve our recovery and when to step away from screens. Jess from TurnTo shares insights on using AI and technology tools to support recovery from conditions like Long Covid and ME/CFS.
• Different technology platforms have different agendas - social media optimizes for view time, search engines for quick clicks
• Approximately 10,000 new updates emerge weekly about Long Covid and ME/CFS across research, expert interviews, and patient discussions
• AI tools like ChatGPT can provide referenced health information when asked properly, often delivering more comprehensive answers than time-limited doctor appointments
• Patient experiences remain undervalued as "weak data" despite containing rich insights that often precede formal research findings
• TurnTo's new Personal Health Sidekick feature reads approximately one million words weekly, filtering information based on individual health concerns
• AI works best for information gathering and making connections between disparate data points
• Balance technology use with offline activities that support recovery - nature, human connection, and reducing nervous system activation
• When using AI for health questions, always request references and specify what type of information you're seeking
• Technology cannot replace human connection, empathy, and the physical examination healthcare professionals provide

• Stabilized symptoms through extreme pacing but remained severely ill for over a year
• Found hope after hearing recovery stories and trying the ANS Rewire program
• Leaving her stressful job was a turning point in her recovery journey
• Used play and creativity as powerful tools for nervous system regulation
• Created characters to personify stress patterns and developed dialogues with them
• Recovery process led to healing of multiple pre-existing conditions

Recovery from Long Covid & ME/CFS involves exploring ways to move forward when you're nearly there or making progress but unsure how to reach the next level. Finding your own path is essential as there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to healing.
• Jackie's recovery had 3 phases: denial & pushing through, education & strategy-building, and gentle building
• Healing isn't a destination but a soft place to land—embracing the journey puts less pressure on your nervous system
• Consistent practices that show your body it's safe build confidence & trust
• The liminal space between illness & wellness allows for exploration without pressure
• Recognizing small signs of recovery counteracts negativity bias
• Celebrating small wins & bringing play into activities helps maintain regulation
• Reclaiming identity is challenging
• Getting unstuck from "80% recovered" place often requires gently challenging yourself
• Re-engaging with life in small ways demonstrates to your body that it's safe
• Recovery is built on small, consistent practices rather than dramatic interventions

Dr. Robert Groysman returns to discuss the mechanisms behind Long Covid, focusing on mitochondrial dysfunction and its role in symptoms like fatigue and brain fog.
• Dr. Groysman identifies six major mechanisms in Long Covid: dysautonomia, mitochondrial dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, endothelial dysfunction, mast cell activation syndrome, and hormone imbalance
• Most Long Covid patients experience multiple mechanisms simultaneously, requiring comprehensive treatment
• Mitochondria are cellular organelles responsible for energy production, with different cell types having varying densities based on energy needs
• COVID-19 not only damages mitochondria but uniquely impairs the body's ability to repair and replace them
• Post-exertional malaise occurs when damaged mitochondria burst during overexertion, triggering inflammatory processes
• Recovery requires gentle, patient approaches rather than aggressive interventions that can cause setbacks
• Dr. Groysman's two-step protocol involves daily antioxidant support followed by seven days per month of carefully managed mitophagy
• Complete recovery typically takes 3-12 months and cannot be rushed without risking relapses
• Dysautonomia often needs treatment before other mechanisms can be successfully addressed
• Pacing is critical to avoid crashes that cause additional mitochondrial damage
Check out my previous episodes with Dr. Groysman to learn more about the Stellate Ganglion block and other treatment approaches for Long Covid.

Jamie shares her powerful journey from being bedbound with Long Covid to full recovery, offering hope and practical insights into the healing process.
• Initially experiencing tachycardia, PoTS, extreme fatigue, and sensitivities to light and sound
• Deteriorating to the point of being bedbound and unable to care for herself

Dr. Kendal Stewart shares his unique perspective on Long Covid through his background as a surgeon with training in functional medicine, neurosurgery, and cell biology. His approach examines the body as an integrated system rather than separating it into isolated specialties.
• Complex conditions like Long Covid require a holistic view of the body as an interconnected system
• Western medicine often silos patients into specialties based on symptoms, missing the bigger picture
• T-cell weakness and microglial activation are key factors in Long Covid symptoms
• The body's inflammation is doing exactly what it's programmed to do—it's not broken
• Northern Europeans have particularly aggressive genetics for inflammation (76%) and often have broken "off switches"
• Peptides like thymusin alpha-1 can help recover exhausted T-cells
• Creating an environment favorable for healing is more effective than treating individual symptoms
• Genetic testing provides a personalized "map" for treatment, focusing only on what's missing
• Many people who recover become healthier than they were before getting sick

Dr. Henry Mahncke and Dr. Gitendra Uswatte share groundbreaking research on using brain plasticity principles to treat Long Covid brain fog through a comprehensive approach combining cognitive processing speed training, real-world skill practice, and personalized cognitive rehabilitation strategies.
• Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change its structure and function through learning and experience
• Brain HQ training targets cognitive processing speed to improve overall brain function across multiple domains
• Long Covid causes real biological changes to the brain, including vascular damage and inflammation
• CI Cognitive Therapy combines three components: brain training, everyday task practice, and transfer techniques
• 80% of participants in the small initial study returned to work compared to none in the usual care group
• Brain health bridges physical and mental health, challenging the "it's all in your head" dismissal
• The intervention works by repurposing and growing healthy brain tissue rather than healing damaged tissue
• Approaches vary from "bottom-up" (basic processing) to "top-down" (real-world skills) to meaningful goal setting
• Brain HQ is currently available worldwide, with ongoing research to develop telehealth versions of the full intervention
The University of Alabama Birmingham is currently enrolling participants for their Long Covid cognitive rehabilitation study. Interested individuals can call 205-934-9768 or search "Uswatte Long Covid Cognitive Rehabilitation" online.

Karen Wright from Sage Health and Wellness shares her powerful recovery story from Long COVID, offering hope and practical wisdom for those still struggling with chronic illness.
• Karen was a busy NHS physiotherapist involved in developing Long COVID services before becoming ill herself in autumn 2021
• Her severe case left her unable to speak at times, care for her children, or maintain basic daily activities
• Understanding and accepting true rest became fundamental to her recovery journey
• Finding her energy baseline through careful observation of triggers like food, light sensitivity and conversation was crucial
• Small, consistent actions over time led to gradual improvement including nutrition changes and gentle movement
• An unexpected thyroid cancer diagnosis revealed how some of her persistent symptoms may have been related to cancer rather than Long COVID
• Karen's recovery insights led her to launch Sage Health and Wellness to support others through education programs
• Self-acceptance emerges as a core message: "You're valuable as you are, whatever your productivity looks like"

Dr. David Putrino shares his expertise on Long Covid, approaching it through the lens of comprehensive rehabilitation and personalized medicine rather than one-size-fits-all treatments. He explains how identifying the specific drivers behind common symptoms leads to more effective intervention strategies.
• Rehabilitation medicine encompasses far more than exercise recovery, including energy conservation strategies, mobility aids, and psychological support
• Different symptoms like fatigue can have various causes (sleep disruption, autonomic dysfunction) requiring distinct treatment approaches
• Techniques used for elite athletes to optimize mitochondrial function may benefit Long Covid patients through similar biological pathways
• Stabilizing symptoms through pacing apps and basic interventions creates a foundation for more targeted treatments
• Gender differences in Long Covid prevalence (65-70% women) may relate to protective effects of testosterone
• Treatments must be personalized based on precise understanding of underlying mechanisms rather than symptom categories alone
• Research is uncovering multiple drivers including persistent pathogens, autoimmunity, reactivated infections, and Dysautonomia
For those experiencing Long Covid symptoms, finding clinicians who understand these complex mechanisms and can identify your specific drivers is critical to receiving effective treatment.

Jules Rogers returns to the podcast to discuss the essential role of boundaries in chronic illness recovery and everyday wellbeing, sharing how learning to protect our energy can be transformative.
• Boundaries are conscious protections we put in place to maintain our energy and ensure we're not giving beyond what feels right
• Different types include physical, emotional, material, mental, and time boundaries
• Setting boundaries becomes crucial when dealing with chronic illness as a way to preserve energy for healing
• The biggest barriers to maintaining boundaries are guilt, discomfort, and the belief that putting yourself first is selfish
• Jules created a powerful recovery mantra: "Is this going to help me heal?" as a guiding decision-making tool
• Even small boundaries can be beneficial - consistency matters more than size
• Boundaries naturally evolve throughout recovery and life as our needs and capacities change
• Starting with boundaries around the most energy-depleting activities provides the greatest benefit
• Learning to say no without over-explaining ("That doesn't work for me") can be more effective
• The skill of setting boundaries learned during illness becomes a valuable tool for living well after recovery

Dr. David Clarke shares his 40-year journey as a medical consultant specializing in neuroplastic conditions—real physical symptoms generated by the brain in response to stress, trauma, or emotional challenges. He explains how these conditions affect 20% of adults and 40% of doctor visits, yet remain frequently misdiagnosed despite being highly treatable.
• Neuroplastic symptoms are physical manifestations created by the brain in response to stress or trauma
• These conditions affect strong individuals carrying burdens they've normalized, not "weak" or "neurotic" people
• Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can create lasting impacts through stressful personality traits, triggers, and unrecognized emotions
• Brain circuits physically change with chronic stress and can change back with appropriate treatment
• The brain creates all sensations—even with physical injuries, pain signals originate in the brain
• Long Covid and similar conditions may involve neuroplastic mechanisms that maintain symptoms after initial triggers
• Recovery includes reframing self-perception from weakness to strength, setting boundaries, and processing emotions
• Transformation extends beyond symptom relief to improved relationships and becoming "who you were meant to be"
Visit Symptomatic Me to take a 12-item questionnaire assessing for neuroplastic symptoms, and check out "The Story Behind the Symptoms" podcast where Dr. Clarke interviews patients about their recovery journeys.

Cold water immersion - friend or foe?
One of the things that helped Jackie the most in her recovery - cold water immersion - and one of the most commonly asked questions from listeners.
But it doesn't work well for everyone. In this episode, Jackie dives into the science behind the power of cold water, as well as discussing her own expertise and her own journey - why did it work for her? And how could you make it work for you?
As always - this isn't medical advice - always speak to a trusted medical professional before considering cold water, or indeed any new treatment.

Uroš shares his inspiring recovery journey from long COVID, revealing how addressing hidden emotional patterns and learning self-compassion transformed not only his health but his entire approach to life.
• Prior to illness, Uroš appeared to be living his best life following a 15-month sabbatical, with a fitness routine and new career mentoring entrepreneurs
• After contracting COVID for the second time, Uros experienced severe post-exertional malaise, brain fog, and eventually became bed-bound
• Finding online recovery stories provided the first ray of hope during a period of despair and medical uncertainty
• Breathing techniques helped regulate his nervous system, with yoga nidra becoming a daily practice that brought surprising mental peace
• Discovery of his unhealthy relationship with emotions became a turning point – Uroš had been "putting poisonous snakes in a bag" for decades
• Self-compassion meditation triggered unexpected emotional release, allowing him to process suppressed feelings
• Identifying limiting core beliefs about always needing to "give everything" transformed his relationship with himself and his family
• Recovery progressed from bed-bound to house-bound to gradually increasing physical activity over approximately 6 months
• Rather than returning to his previous life, Uros is now focused on creating "Uroš 2.0" – integrating recovery lessons into building a more authentic life centered on passion
• The recovery journey revealed five phases: calming the nervous system, removing stressors, gradual reexposure to life, leaving the sick mindset behind, and integrating the lessons learned

Dr. Diana Driscoll shares her remarkable journey from bedridden POTS patient to pioneering medical researcher developing treatments for autonomic dysfunction. Motivated by her own ten-year battle with post-viral dysautonomia and her children's similar struggles, she created patented solutions when conventional medicine offered no answers.
• POTS is not a disease but a presentation of symptoms related to inflammation affecting the cardiovascular system
• Dr. Driscoll's "Driscoll Theory" identifies high intracranial pressure as a common factor in POTS and dysautonomia
• Her research uncovered neurotransmitter deficiencies, particularly acetylcholine, leading to the development of Parasym Plus
• Inflammation creates oxidative damage, worsening symptoms and creating a vicious cycle that must be broken
• Many POTS patients show signs of blood vessel leakage and blood-brain barrier disruption
• Female patients often face additional challenges due to hormonal fluctuations increasing inflammatory responses
• Recovery requires consistency and understanding your personal inflammatory triggers
• Patients can maintain recovery by being proactive about their health and recognizing early warning signs
• Genetic factors influence inflammatory responses and understanding these can prevent relapse

Recovery doesn't have to be perfect to be effective, and sometimes the very quest for perfect recovery can keep us stuck in our healing journey. Jo Thomas shares her personal experience with overcoming POTS and chronic fatigue, highlighting how shifting mindsets and letting go of perfectionism accelerated her healing process.
• Jo's recovery journey came in layers—medical management first, followed by lifestyle changes and nervous system regulation
• Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overachieving often contribute to chronic fatigue and can hinder recovery
• Focus on responding appropriately to your body rather than pushing for linear progress
• Your responsibility is to take appropriate recovery actions, not to control how your body responds
• What feels like a setback might actually be a normal bodily response to increased activity
• Recovery often means living life differently than before—usually in better alignment with your values
• Becoming overly focused on achieving "full recovery" can create pressure that impedes progress
• Our bodies communicate through symptoms—learning to interpret them rather than fear them is key
• Many people discover that post-recovery life is actually better than pre-illness life
• "Keeping yourself in wellness" becomes a lifelong practice rather than reaching a finish line

Aaron West shares his remarkable two-and-a-half-year journey with Long COVID and his unexpected path to recovery. From being a highly athletic cyclist who once rode across South Carolina in a single day to becoming bedbound with debilitating symptoms, his story demonstrates that recovery is possible—sometimes in the most unexpected ways.
• Previously an avid athlete who competed in triathlons and rode 237 miles across South Carolina in one day
• Contracted COVID in Fall 2021 during the Delta wave
• Developed severe symptoms including persistent cough (500-1,000 times daily), neurological issues, and "electromagnetic pulse" sensations
• Forced to go on disability due to inability to work while coughing
• Found some relief through antihistamines (Zyrtec, Pepcid) and beta blockers
• Practiced pacing using "spoon theory" and heart rate monitoring to manage symptoms
• Experienced a "light switch" recovery after contracting Omicron variant in January 2024
• Post-recovery, rediscovered creative abilities and is now writing a book and running a business
• Emphasizes the importance of community support during illness and recovery
• Doctor described him as someone who came back after being "far gone"
For those still suffering with Long COVID—there is hope. While everyone's recovery journey is different, healing is possible, and sometimes it comes in unexpected ways.

Amy Mooney shares her unique perspective as both an occupational therapist and caregiver to her daughter with ME-CFS, revealing essential insights about rest, recovery, and meaningful approaches to chronic illness management.
• 25 years of occupational therapy experience transformed by caring for her daughter with ME-CFS for the past decade
• Learning to see "beyond the iceberg" - what practitioners miss when they only observe patients during clinical visits
• The concept of "aggressive rest" as an active strategy rather than simply doing nothing

Jackie explores recovery themes in today's episode, as she identifies five key themes that emerge across different healing journeys: consistency in daily practices, mindset that fosters healing, understanding what's happening in your body, building personal strategies, and creating a healing environment.
• Consistency means showing up daily for practices that help, even when progress feels invisible
• Mindset isn't about toxic positivity but creating biochemical conditions for healing through belief in improvement
• Understanding your body's responses and triggers makes interventions more effective and reduces fear
• Building strategies involves creating a personalized toolkit of what actually works for your unique body
• Creating a healing environment means being mindful about what you consume—food, media, thoughts
• Mental health support is crucial, not because illness is psychological but because chronic illness affects mental wellbeing
• Small 1% improvements compound over time into significant progress
• Recovery isn't about finding one miracle cure but assembling your own unique puzzle pieces

When Nadyne McKie, a psychotherapist and yoga therapist, first faced the challenges of Long COVID with her own child, it was a journey that reshaped her understanding of care. Join us as she shares not only her professional insights but also her personal story, offering a unique perspective on the emotional burdens carried by families navigating this condition. We'll unpack the critical role caregivers play in supporting their children through fluctuating health, all while managing their own stress and advocating for their child's needs.
Imagine the pressure of balancing societal expectations with a child's health, where school attendance and extracurricular activities often clash with the need for rest and recovery. Nadyne helps explore the importance of validating children's bodily signals and the broader impact of parental well-being on young ones' recovery paths. We'll discuss how creating a calm, supportive environment can be a cornerstone for healing, where simple acts like mindful breathing and micro-breaks can transform daily struggles into opportunities for growth.
For those seeking practical strategies, Nadyne introduces playful and creative tools that strengthen the bond between parent and child. These activities not only foster resilience but also offer a powerful counterbalance to the often-draining effects of screen time. Nadyne's new book emerges as a beacon of guidance, filled with insights and advice for caregivers seeking to empower themselves and their children through the complexities of Long COVID. Listen in to discover how embracing these techniques can pave the way for a more resilient and supportive journey for both children and their caregivers.

Have you ever felt the weight of an unexpected life challenge shift your entire perspective? Join me & Nadyne McKie, who combines her unique blend of psychotherapy, yoga therapy, and breathing coaching to guide those navigating the turbulent waters of Long Covid. Nadyne opens up about her personal journey; how her own experiences & those of her child have reshaped her understanding of health. Her story serves as a beacon of hope, illustrating the potential for growth & joy even in the midst of adversity.
Throughout our conversation, we examine the complexities of stress & its pervasive impact on our health. Nadyne shares her wisdom on transitioning from a stress-fueled existence to one that cherishes rest & self-care—an often daunting task given societal norms that equate rest with laziness. We challenge these misconceptions, advocating for a healthier narrative where taking time to simply be is not only acceptable but essential. Nadyne's insights into cognitive fatigue & the digital world's demands highlight the urgent need to redefine rest & productivity, especially on a recovery journey.
We touch upon the significance of self-compassion & the transformative power of gentle movement. Nadyne invites us to reconsider exercise not as a rigorous task but as a nurturing practice that listens to the body's needs, embracing exercises that feel good rather than those that punish the body. This is a call to healthcare professionals and listeners alike to practice self-compassion, seek support, & engage with their healing journey through a lens of kindness & understanding.

What if you could harness the power of oxygen to heal the brain? Uncover the potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) with Dr. Amir Haddany, a leading neurosurgeon and hyperbaric medicine expert. Dr. Haddany takes us through his research since 2008, sharing how HBOT is transforming treatment for neurological conditions like traumatic brain injuries and long COVID. Through imaging techniques such as MRI, we explore the effects of COVID-19 on critical brain areas & how HBOT might offer hope for recovery.
We reveal the pathways through which long COVID disrupts cognitive functions, backed by compelling imaging evidence. We delve into innovative treatment protocols adapted from conditions like ME & fibromyalgia, focusing on the role of oxygen fluctuations in stimulating mitochondria & facilitating healing. The protocols, akin to cellular interval training, illustrate the regenerative potential of HBOT when applied consistently over extended periods, offering a glimpse into this complex process.
We unpack a study suggesting long-term benefits for long COVID patients, emphasizing the significance of a rigorous, randomized controlled trial. Dr. Haddany's generous sharing of his knowledge provides not only an insightful discussion but also a platform for future inquiry and exploration into the world of hyperbarics.

Ever wondered how the traits of ADHD intersect with perfectionism & chronic illness? Jenny Adams returns to offer insights into the intricate dance between trauma, perfectionism, & health challenges. We unravel how ADHD manifests uniquely in women & discuss the crucial need to recognize these traits to better support those managing chronic illnesses. Jenny's story is not just one of struggle but also of hope & inspiration for those seeking a path to recovery.
Exploring the connections between trauma & perfectionism, we discuss insights from thought leaders like Gabor Maté, considering how these patterns can emerge as responses to past experiences. Through personal anecdotes, we highlight the struggle of all-or-nothing thinking & the significance of finding satisfaction in the present moment rather than in unattainable ideals. From breaking tasks into manageable pieces to self-regulation strategies during overwhelming times, we offer practical support to listeners who face similar challenges in their everyday lives.
Perfectionism can often be mistaken for a strength, yet it frequently leaves us dissatisfied & longing for control. We reflect on how perfectionist tendencies may stem from feelings of unworthiness, drawing on personal stories to emphasize the importance of vulnerability & self-compassion. Together, we explore how childhood beliefs & societal pressures shape our quest for perfection & the emotional toll it takes. By focusing on the power of self-compassion over perfectionism, we aim to inspire you to embrace a more balanced & self-compassionate life, recognizing your inherent worth beyond productivity.

Could recognizing stress, perfectionism, and a relentless work ethic have unknowingly contributed to my journey with Long Covid? This episode, inspired by a listener's question, takes you through my personal exploration of self-blame and recovery, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging lifestyle factors that play into our health. We'll uncover the value of therapy in recognizing these patterns and how Maya Angelou's wisdom guided me: "Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better." By understanding and unlearning pre-illness habits, we open up pathways to resilience and growth.
Join us in celebrating the transformative power of self-compassion and authenticity as we reach our 150th episode milestone. We reflect on the essence of gratitude and its role in focusing on what truly matters—health, joy, and connection. Inspired by the Taoist concept of the first and second arrow, we explore our reactions to life's challenges and how they shape our journey. As we celebrate this milestone, I express my gratitude for your continued support and share a peek into my holiday plans. Let's embrace the journey of unbecoming what isn't truly us and allowing our authentic selves to shine.

In episode 146 I speak to the fabulous Dr. Becca Kennedy, a family medicine physician, who discusses her approach to treating chronic pain and fatigue using evidence-based neuroscience.
She emphasizes the mind-body connection, explaining that many medically unexplained symptoms are due to brain signaling rather than structural damage. Kennedy highlights that 30-50% of primary care visits involve medically unexplained symptoms, including chronic pain, migraines, and irritable bowel syndrome.
She stresses the importance of understanding the nervous system's role in these conditions and provides tools like breathing exercises, meditation, and expressive writing to help patients manage and recover from chronic symptoms.

Episode 94 of the Long Covid Podcast is a bit special - here I am handing over my hosting duties to my partner, Malky, so he can interview me about my recovery. Yes - my recovery - from Long Covid.
Although it's impossible to cover everything (I've already thought of loads of things I wanted to say but forgot), hopefully we got most of the important stuff.
As always - if you have questions - please do get in touch, as there's always the possibility of a follow-up (with any guest). And if I get enough questions for me, then I'll find a way to answer them.

Rosie is also a really talented artist, and is curating an exhibition at the start of December, in aid of Long Covid Kids. Links below (& these will get updated with anything new as the exhibition happens)
This is a really candid & honest discussion of how difficult this illness is, and my thanks to Rosie & Colin for being so generous with their time & energy.

Episode 34 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Sam Munslow about her experiences with Covid and then Long Covid, and how that led to her new book "We Will Covive" and her becoming The Covid Coach.
Sam's book is written with diary entries followed by reflections and it was fascinating reading it because I saw so many parallels from my own experiences, and had had similar reflections myself! We also talk about how our thoughts can be harmful and how "mental self-harming" adds even more nastiness on top of the physical experience of Long Covid.

Episode 32 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Esther about her Long Covid journey and eventual recovery. I think it's important to hear that people have recovered as it gives those of us who are still suffering a bit of hope.
We talk about what helped her (and what didn't!) and although everyone's journey will be different, hopefully some of what we talk about will be helpful to you.
Of course, neither myself or Esther are medical experts so make sure you listen to your body & consult your own health practitioners as Esther's strategies may not be appropriate for everyone.

We try to de-mystify the condition of PoTS that so many people with Long Covid seem to have developed, as well as talking about my new favourite topic of breathing and how we can help our bodies. Lorna's experience of having PoTS means that she really gets what a lot of us are going through.
I hope you enjoy listening to her as much as I did.

In this BONUS episode of the Long Covid Podcast, Jackie talks about what she has learned from her experiences of Long Covid over the past 2 years.
Although recovery is not linear, frustrating and definitely not there yet, she discusses some of what has helped her so far, and what she's learned about Long Covid and herself.
Hopefully some of this might help you, or someone you know, too.

We chat a bit about her experiences, how this has given her a greater understanding into her patients' struggles and also how looking back on her experiences can help others.
We discuss some of the emotions and feelings that become a huge deal throughout a long illness and her advice on what we can (and can't!) do and why.
Sally was a pleasure to chat to and there are so many useful tips here for us to all take on board - I hope it's as useful for you as it was for me.

We chat about the study, what they are hoping to find out and some of his initial thoughts on rehabilitation for people with Long Covid.
We also talk a bit about what we can do, currently, versus what we can't do - and how helping some symptoms is better than helping none.
It was a pleasure speaking with Eddie, so I hope you find it as interesting as I did.

Episode 21 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Nutritional Therapist Moira Newiss about all things food.
We chat about how "normal" doesn't necessarily mean "optimal", a bit about energy production and how we can eat foods that will help our bodies (and our gut) to work much better and keep us healthier - hopefully allowing our bodies to recover. And much more!
Listening to Moira definitely made me realise that I could eat in a way that would help me more, so I hope that it helps you too.

We chat about her experiences with Covid & Long Covid, what she found helped her to recover (and what didn't), and about what inspired Positively Covid - which is a huge resource of helpful strategies as well as the all important Recovery Stories - how important it is to hear that people do recover and keep that hope that we will all get there eventually.
Amy is inspiring to listen to, and I hope there is something useful in there for you too.

Episode 19 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Cass MacDonald who has had experience of living with chronic conditions for years before also adding Long Covid to the mix, and we look at some of the practical solutions for coping.
We talk about some of the adjustments they have made both in their personal life at home as well as at work which help them to manage symptoms. We also chat about their experiences of returns to work, benefits and managing expectations of both ourselves and others.
Although we all hope that a recovery will be possible, we've definitely learned that Long Covid, like other chronic conditions, is a long game and that mindset is hard to adjust to. Hopefully some of what we talk about is helpful.

Episode 13 of the Long Covid Podcast is a conversation with AJ who has been living with Post Concussion Syndrome for over 3 years, following a brain injury in 2018. Similar to many suffering with Long Covid, AJ lived a very full and active life until her accident when everything changed in a moment.
Since then, she has had to adjust her expectations and the way she approaches everything as well as coping with many varying and unpredictable symptoms.
In this episode we talk about some of the ways that she has learned to manage her symptoms (some of which are surprisingly similar to Long Covid), strategies she has used to help as well as how she has mentally managed to be so tough and remain positive.
AJ is so inspiring to all of us and hopefully some of what she talks about might be helpful to you as well.

Episode 12 of the Long Covid Podcast is a conversation with Kelly Mitchell, the Breathing PT. Kelly is a specialist respiratory physiotherapist and has been treating lots of people with Long Covid, as well as other long term conditions.
Kelly has a passion for all things breathing and how it can affect our whole body; breathing poorly can bring on all manner of symptoms and not always the ones that we might expect.
This is a fascinating chat and has so much that can help so many people with Long Covid - I hope it's as useful for you as it was for me.

Episode 11 of the Long Covid Podcast is a conversation with Iain, who is a long time friend of mine from years back. Iain talks about some of the strategies that he and his partner, Cal, use in their relationship. Cal has Chronic Fatigue and for many years has dealt daily with many symptoms that Long Covid sufferers will be able to identify with.
We talk about the difficulties of chronic illnesses, but what shines through is the way that Iain and Cal are a team, and how they find ways to support each other. There are so many relationships where the dynamic has changed almost overnight as a result of Covid & Long Covid. Iain (who will openly acknowledge that all of his wisdom comes from Cal!) talks through some really helpful, and often very simple, things that can help.
If you'd like to contact Iain - please get in touch with me through the podcast and I will pass your messages on.

Episode 10 of the Long Covid Podcast is a conversation with Amanda Finley from the USA. Amanda caught Covid right at the start of the pandemic before developing Long Covid and since then has been a real force of nature helping those with Long Covid.
We talk about her initial illness, how it progressed and how things in the USA are very different to my experiences in the UK. Amanda has crossed paths with and helped so many people, despite being ill and dealing with many of her own struggles, and it's really inspiring and humbling to hear her speak.
Amanda was an absolute joy to speak to, so I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did.

Episode 09 of the Long Covid Podcast is a conversation with Claire Hastie. Claire became ill with Covid right at the start of the first wave in the UK and like so many of us, is still suffering the effects of Long Covid. She started the Long Covid Support Group on Facebook in early May 2020 which has grown into a real force to be reckoned with.
We talk about her experiences, how the group came to be and what they are fighting for - there have been some really fantastic accomplishments, but sadly there is so much more that we need. Claire is an inspiration and was incredibly interesting to chat to, so I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
www.longcovidsupport.org has many useful resources, a link to the private Facebook Support group and also a "DONATE" button if you have any spare monies.

Episode 08 of the Long Covid Podcast is a conversation with Rachel Whitfield. Rachel has recovered from Long Covid and we talk through some of her experiences and what she thinks has helped her to recover. It gives us all a little bit of hope!
It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that neither of us are medical professionals and although the things that Rachel talks about have helped her, there is no guarantee that they will work for everyone. Everyone's journey is different, so please do seek medical advice before trying anything.

Episode 07 of the Long Covid Podcast is a conversation with Suzy Bolt from 360 Mind Body Soul. Suzy has recovered from Long Covid - it's both inspiring and useful to hear what has helped her to recover and how she used her knowledge as a Yoga teacher & NLP coach as well as experience with talking therapies to aid recovery.
Suzy is now using her experiences to help others - hear about her Rest, Repair, Recover program for Long Covid sufferers, the research & interviews she has done and how the mind, body and soul are interconnected. Listening to Suzy gave me so many "lightbulb" moments about my recovery - I hope it will for you too.

Episode 03 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Chiara Berardelli; former GP, now Singer Songwriter. We talk about how being ill for such a long time impacts on our mental health, frustration with certain medical professionals & society as well as the difficulty of going from being healthy and active to often housebound and isolated.
At the end of the podcast we hear a song that Chiara has written about Long Covid; "Tyrannosaurus" is her pet name of LC because the headaches were like a monster in her head. Please do check out www.chiaraberardelli.com for more of her work.

Episode 02 of the Long Covid Podcast is a bit of a personal one - my partner and I share our experiences of Covid and Long Covid over the last 17 months, coming from a lifestyle where we were very fit and active together to me having to deal with him going out without me, as well as him having to do so many things for me.
Although my Long Covid isn't as severe as some, it's a sobering lesson in what long-lasting effects the virus can have on someone young and previously very fit & completely healthy.

Introducing the Long Covid Podcast - the podcast by and for Long Covid Sufferers.
Long Covid is estimated to affect at around 1 in 5 people infected with Covid-19. Some of these people recover within a few months, but there are many who have been suffering for well over a year.
There is currently no cure for Long Covid, and the thousands of people still ill have been searching for answers for a long time. In this podcast I hope to explore some of the problems and possible solutions, mixed with personal experience from those who know it best - the Long Haulers.
