​

For five years, this show was known as The Long Covid Podcast, supporting thousands of listeners through the uncertainty of post‑viral illness. After my own lived experience and recovery from Long Covid, the conversations naturally grew wider — into ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, Dysautonomia, Trauma, Burnout and the deep nervous‑system work that underpins so many healing journeys.

​

This reimagined podcast honours that evolution.

​

Each week, I explore the science, stories, and small, steady practices that help the body feel safer and more supported. You’ll hear from clinicians, researchers, practitioners and people walking their own recovery paths through the power of honest conversation.

​

Whether you’re at the beginning of your journey or somewhere in the long, winding middle, you’re welcome here.


Take a breath. Settle in. This is your recovery room.

We look at how fear, perfectionism, and people-pleasing create inner conflict, drain our energy, and can keep our nervous system stuck in threat. 


• Defining authentic living as self-honouring with balance 
• Why constant selflessness can become self-neglect 
• How childhood patterns and social approval shape our “shoulds” 
• Telltale signs of inauthentic living such as resentment and emotion management 
• The link between internal conflict, safety, and chronic illness recovery such as Long Covid and ME/CFS 
• Perfectionism, social media pressure, and the fear of judgement 
• Practical steps: honesty with ourselves, clearer communication, and boundaries 
• Choosing small wins over drastic decisions to create lasting change

I share why “appropriate breathwork” is gentle, flexible, and powerful enough to support both recovery and everyday health. 

• Why breathing patterns change during illness and can stay dysfunctional afterwards 
• The vicious cycle where breath discomfort signals danger and escalates symptoms 
• How better breathing supports efficiency and frees energy for healing and life 
• Nervous system regulation through functional breathing and micro moments of safety 
• Why a one-size-fits-all protocol can backfire and what “meet yourself where you are” looks like 
• What to avoid in recovery, including deliberate hyperventilation and breath holds 
• Easing into practices, adjusting dose, and using breath to support pacing and emotions 
• Resources for safe breathwork including courses, blogs, videos, and Insight Timer tracks

Robin shares both clinical and personal examples of using tech as a behaviour-change tool, not a dictator, and how it can help people eventually trust their bodies more, not less.


In This Episode:

  • When heart rate monitoring is helpful and when it becomes stressful and counterproductive
  • Robin’s concept of “counterintuitive” heart rate monitoring and why some people need to start with higher alert thresholds
  • Real-life examples of unexpected triggers (like showering, stairs, and bending) and how tiny tweaks made big differences
  • Using devices first to learn your boundaries, then turning down or off alerts to lean more on body awareness
  • How to decide if tech is right for you right now: What is it helping you change? Is it reducing crashes or just adding pressure?


Key Takeaways

  • Tech is optional: it’s the right tool for the right person, at the right time, in the right way.
  • The goal isn’t perfect data—it’s better awareness, steadier pacing, and fewer boom-and-bust crashes.

In this episode:

  • What happens when all your tests are “normal” but you’re clearly not.
  • Robin’s role as a “holistic detective” for complex breathing, fatigue and Long Covid cases.
  • How ideas from elite sport and marginal gains translate to people just trying to shower or get to the bathroom without crashing.
  • The reality of post‑Covid personal bests and why “small” wins matter.
  • A practical, compassionate look at pacing across physical, cognitive, emotional and social exertion, using the FITT principles.
  • Real‑life stories of patients reclaiming reading, hobbies and daily life through tiny, well‑timed adjustments.

This is Part 1 of the conversation - hear part 2 for more on pacing, heart rate, breathing, and tools to support recovery.

We explore how validation, language, and recovery stories can shift the brain’s predictions and open up real possibilities for change. 


• Jake’s lived experience of long-term illness and a slow recovery path 
• How neuroplastic recovery therapies fit alongside biology rather than replacing it 
• Why recovery stories can create a visceral nervous system shift 
• The harm caused when recovered people are disbelieved or silenced 
• How the mind body divide shows up in healthcare systems and culture 
• Biomarkers, legitimacy, and why absence of a test is not absence of illness 
• Mental health stigma as a hidden driver of conflict and miscommunication 
• Emotional suppression, shame, and “keep calm and carry on” conditioning 
• Blame versus responsibility as a more compassionate recovery framework

Welcome to The Recovery Room 221 - A New Room, The Same Heart. Welcome to The Recovery Room Five years after starting the Long Covid Podcast, Jackie introduces The Recovery Room – a wider, gentler space for anyone navigating Long Covid, ME/CFS, Dysautonomia, PoTS, Trauma, Burnout, nervous system overwhelm, and long-term recovery.

In this episode, Jackie shares:

  • Why the podcast is evolving and what “The Recovery Room” means.
  • How her own recovery showed that healing is about more than symptoms.
  • How Long Covid overlaps with other conditions, and why this space now holds many experiences, not just one diagnosis
  • What’s staying the same: evidence-informed conversations, recovery stories, nervous system insights, and honest, vulnerable discussions held in a way that feels safe.

She closes with a short grounding practice you can use anytime:

  • Noticing your breath
  • Gently checking in with how you feel
  • Asking, “What would help me feel 1% safer right now?”
  • Remembering that small, consistent, gentle shifts are the foundation of recovery.

Practical updates:

  • The podcast is now called The Recovery Room with Jackie Baxter
  • Social media, visuals, and app names will update over the coming days
  • The new website is live: www.JackiesRecoveryRoom.com

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

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

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.

• 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

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.

Her story blends science, practical tools, and honest moments of fear, relapse, and quiet wins.

• 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

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

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.

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

• Boundaries that prevent “fixing” and conflict
• Fluctuating illness, hypervigilance and control

• 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

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

• reframing setbacks as feedback not failure
• identity-based habits to support healing
• managing physiology first with breath
• countering nocebo and fear narratives

• 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

• 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

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.

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

• Life before illness included working as a CFO and living on a small farm
• Initial Covid infection in July 2021 was mild but led to severe post-viral symptoms
• Main symptoms included PoTS, tachycardia, severe insomnia, cognitive impairment and sound sensitivity
• Within six months, she was essentially bedbound but continued working remotely
• 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
• Now enjoys swing dancing and a fuller life than before illness
• Continues nervous system regulation practices not out of necessity but enjoyment

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. 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
• Reaching a mental health crisis point that became a surprising turning point
• Discovering the concept that Long Covid could be a hypersensitive nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight
• Using brain retraining techniques to gradually rebuild activity levels and trust in her body
• Finding support through group coaching where achievements were celebrated
• Completing the Lightning Process to bridge the final gap to complete recovery
• Returning to full-time work as the milestone that marked complete recovery
• Learning to distinguish between normal tiredness and illness-related symptoms
• Finding a new identity and priorities after recovery, focusing on health and family

If you're struggling with Long Covid, remember that recovery is possible. Jamie's journey shows that understanding your nervous system and taking small, consistent steps forward can lead to healing, even from the most severe symptoms.

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

• 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 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"

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.

• 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

• The skill of setting boundaries learned during illness becomes a valuable tool for living well after recovery

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.

• Former PE teacher whose active lifestyle was completely derailed by Long Covid despite having only mild initial Covid symptoms
• Experienced breathlessness, severe fatigue, significant weight gain, dysautonomia, and cognitive difficulties that placed him in the bottom 7% nationally on tests
• Endured 18 months of inconclusive medical testing before being referred to a Long Covid clinic
• Found relief through cold water immersion, beginning with morning swims in a natural seawater pool in Devon
• Developed a comprehensive recovery protocol including breathing techniques, yoga nidra, electrolytes, and fasting
• Breakthrough came through participating in a clinical trial using Simproof, which he later supplemented with homemade kefir
• Gradually returned to exercise through careful listening to his body, eventually completing his first marathon
• Now training for a 45-mile challenge around Bristol, marking the complete circle of his recovery

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.

• 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

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

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

]]> 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

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
• Understanding different forms of exertion: physical, cognitive, emotional, and sensory
• How each person has different "buckets" for various types of exertion and unique symptom patterns
• The importance of preemptive rest before activities and recuperative rest afterward
• Creating personalized support systems that address individual symptoms and priorities
• Safely testing boundaries rather than pushing through prescribed exercise protocols
• Why prioritizing activities that bring joy and meaning is crucial for quality of life
• Being cautious about delayed responses to increased activity - sometimes PEM hits 3 days later

Amy has been working with Bateman Horne Center to provide education and resources to medical providers, helping ensure patients receive appropriate care focused on true rest rather than harmful exercise regimens.

• 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

The delicate balance between meticulous planning and letting life unfold naturally, insights into how this approach can alleviate stress and enhance well-being. 

My recent virtual art room event serves as a testament to the healing power of creative expression, inviting you to explore self-care through artistic activities. As I reflect on what I would tell my past self, I uncover the profound journey of self-awareness and healing that life beyond long COVID can offer, filled with ups, downs, and moments of joy.

I share my own musings stemming from a journal prompt this week, in a way which hopefully helps people to see life beyond illness, the continual journey of healing and that it's ok to be imperfect.

This episode is a gentle reminder to find joy in the present moment, nurture your authentic self, and celebrate the holiday season with well-deserved happiness and freedom.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We chat through the things that helped - some of which made a little difference, some a lot.

As with all recovery stories - this is one person's experience. We wouldn't recommend trying to replicate it, as no two people are the same. But taking ideas & certainly inspiration is absolutely a good idea!

Episode 137 of the Long Covid Podcast welcomes back Lorrie Rivers to chat about EFT tapping, a technique that she's personally had good results with and now uses with her clients. EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique and can be a great way of gently helping us out emotionally, which can be difficult with health challenges such as Long Covid. But as Lorrie shares, it actually can do more than that too.

We dive into some of the science behind it, as well as using me as a guinea pig for an example!

]]> Episode 39 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Lynn Laidlaw & Tracy Ibbotson who are very involved in research involvement and PPI (Patient & Public Involvement) but they have had very different journeys to this point.

We chat through some of their experiences, why it is really worthwhile to get involved and how this might be possible in different ways.

If you'd like to know more, you can get involved with Tracy at Glasgow uni or the UK research involvement groups via the links below, or drop me a message if you would like to know more about other countries and I'll do my best to find out.

As people with Long Covid struggle to learn about the condition, Dr Peers shares her knowledge about MCAS, some treatment/management options and some of the experiences she has had with it.

We also talk about a few other things she has found that can help with MCAS and Long Covid. It's a fascinating chat and hopefully everyone can take something useful from it!

]]> Episode 31 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Zoe Challenor - Zoe is a musician and singer who caught Covid early in the pandemic and went on to develop Long Covid. She has used her experiences of both Long Covid and singing to set up the Long Covid Choir - an online choir bringing together Long Covid sufferers from around the globe.

We chat a bit about Zoe's experiences with Covid & Long Covid - I'm sure many of you will be able to relate - as well as how she set up the choir and what everyone gets out of it.

The Long Covid Choir welcomes new members of any age and experience, whether you think you can sing or not - links below.

]]> Episode 25 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with singer David Douglas and composer Gareth Williams about the work they are doing with Scottish Opera's Breath Cycle project which is designed around helping people with Long Covid.

The project is currently in pilot stage and they hope to roll it out to a bigger group soon - but it sounds like a fabulous project, mixing together music making, creativity & social interaction with a wonderful team of musicians, as well as the health benefits.

If you might be interested in getting involved, follow the first link below (or drop me a message and I'll direct you)

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.

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 talk about how breathing well can help anyone, especially those with Long Covid, and how important it is to calm down the nervous system and allow the body space to heal. Wibbs and his classes have had a hugely positive impact on my own recovery - I hope that he can help you as well.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
