A 2025 review in Nature Reviews Immunology offers one of the clearest explanations yet of how the nervous system and immune system communicate. Rather than acting as separate systems, they form an integrated network that constantly exchanges information to help the body respond to stress, infection,...

I went on a big family vacation to Disney World this summer, and it gave me a great practical reminder about the power of recovery tools to help maintain resilience and support our ability to do more of what we want to do.

The trip involved a large family gathering: 15 of us, eight days, early morn...

Many people living with Long COVID or other post-infection conditions naturally and understandably spend a great deal of time thinking about symptoms and how their lives are impacted.

Others may not have a diagnosis but simply know they don't feel quite like themselves. They notice less energy, slo...

What does it mean to be resilient?

It is tempting to think of resilience as the ability to withstand stress, keep going, or push through when things get difficult. But resilience is also about something more fundamental: our ability to respond, recover, and adapt.

One thing we've consistently heard while testing and refining our programs is that people appreciate having structure.

There is no shortage of information available today, identifying valuable information and putting it in an accessible structure allows us to filter and use it - and feel the impact...

For many people, receiving a diagnosis is an important moment.

A diagnosis can explain symptoms that may have felt confusing, frightening, or difficult to describe. It can provide validation that what you are experiencing is real. It can also help connect you with a community of people who understa...

Why can two people put in a similar amount of effort and experience very different results?

There may be a moment when you recognize that the way you’re getting through your day isn’t really serving you anymore. And yet, you stay with it, simply because it's a habit – it is what your system knows and is comfortable with – it’s what feels safe, because you know what you get. Even when we ar...

There’s a sentence we often come back to in performance environments:

“You aren’t talented enough to win on talent alone.” (Men’s USA Olympic Ice Hockey Team Coach Herb Brooks, before their historic victory against the Soviet Union at the 1980 Winter Olympics)

It sounds like and is a statement abo...

When people think about recovery from Long COVID or other chronic post-infection conditions, they often picture the “big” things. Getting back to work full time. Running again. Traveling. Having enough energy to make it through the day without crashing.

Those things matter and are huge milestones t...

When we begin to describe what we do, a common response is: “So… is it a bit like yoga? Or tai chi?” Often followed by, “I’ve tried that— it helped.”

We get why people make the connection. There are familiar elements like gentle movement, breathing, and working with the body in a more intentional w...

For this blog post, we wanted to follow up on a paper shared last month at the IPIC Society 2026 Annual Conference (Long COVID), taking a deeper dive into the content. As always, we also consider the practical implications for recovery that the learning suggests.

When people are dealing with ongoin...
