The Podcast by and for Long Covid sufferers. Long Covid is estimated to affect at least 1 in 5 people infected with Covid-19. Many of these people were fit & healthy, many were successfully managing other conditions. Some people recover within a few months, but there are many who have been suffering for much much longer.

Although there is currently no "cure" for Long Covid, and the millions of p... more

  • Long Covid Sucks

    Have been suffering with Long Covid since 2020 and hearing recovery stories is a life saver. Having a diagnosis of “ well this is what it is but we don’t really know how it plays out, and this maybe the best you feel for the rest of your life” is depressing. I find Jackie & her guests inspiring and informative. Thank you Jackie for taking this topic on and not shying away from the negative parts of long term illness.

    I appreciate what you do.

  • Misinformation

    Really a bummer to see they had Sarah Myhill on, she is an anti-vaxxer and anti-masker. Says a lot about the information they are okay putting out there to vulnerable people going through difficult and scary medical issues. I don’t trust their reporting

  • Great because…

    Because the podcast covers all aspects of post viral illness. Including Long Covid and ME/CFS. Good guests too. I’d like more interviews with scientists and researchers who’ve been studying ME/CFS prior to the pandemic because they have already eliminated many of the hypotheses being suggested by researchers new to the field. Sadly it’s one of reasons $1.2 billion was wasted on old debunked ideas. Had some of that money gone to ME/CFS researchers they already have a list of potential existing me... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

212 - Amy Davies - Internalised Pressure in Recovery: Letting Go Of Your Inner Drill Sergeant
Q: What practical steps can someone take to start reducing this pressure today?
Begin with small, doable actions and slow, compassionate awareness. Pause to notice where pressure comes from, breathe, and choose one simple task to try. Build trust that progress can be non-linear and that it's okay to start small and adjust as needed.
212 - Amy Davies - Internalised Pressure in Recovery: Letting Go Of Your Inner Drill Sergeant
Q: What do you mean by internalized pressure, and how does it affect recovery?
Internalized pressure is the pressure we place on ourselves to improve or recover, often driven by past patterns like perfectionism. It can keep the nervous system on high alert, making recovery slower because the body interprets self-imposed demands as threats.
207 - Dr Nathan Keiser - Stop Chasing Labels, Start Fixing Mechanisms
Q: What does chiropractic neurology mean?
Dr. Kaiser explains that chiropractic neurology combines clinical neurology with a focus on neuroplasticity, using strategies that stimulate the nervous system through native, multisensory inputs rather than relying solely on medications or surgical interventions.
203 - Carissa Conrad - Your New Best Friend: The Vagus Nerve
Q: What is the vagus nerve and why is it so important?
Carissa describes the vagus nerve as the longest nerve in the body, regulating essential automatic functions and significantly impacting the parasympathetic nervous system.
203 - Carissa Conrad - Your New Best Friend: The Vagus Nerve
Q: Can you just say a little bit about yourself and what you do?
Carissa Conrad explains that she is a doctor of physical therapy and a therapeutic pain specialist, working as an international coach for recovery from Long Covid.
