There’s a moment many people recognize.

You try something new — a different way of moving, a breathing exercise, a shift in how you fuel your body, or a different way of pacing as you go through your day — and for the first time in a while, your body responds. You have more energy and your thinking...

Recovery can feel like an enormous, truly daunting, feat. Rebuilding a system that got shattered because of something that happened in a heartbeat and has consequences that can last forever. This can feel like moving a mountain. And when you’re living with an infection-induced chronic condition, eve...

When you’re not feeling at your most resilient or robust, it’s completely natural to pull back. Pull back from friends, from work, from hobbies — sometimes even from family. This isn’t a personal failure or a lack of motivation; it’s a normal and, in many cases, healthy response from the body.

We often expect too much from a single day and far too little from a full year.
It’s understandable, and human. We imagine big leaps, sweeping changes, dramatic turnarounds — and we forget how much power sits inside the small things we do repeatedly. The tiny steps we take over and over. The pieces t...

There are times when it feels safer to wait, to not make any changes just yet— especially when you are already operating at capacity, are living with chronic symptoms or have limited energy. We wait for a day when the body feels more able, when we might have more time , when our energy levels may im...

The holidays often bring to mind a cozy scene and warm memories—people gathered around the Christmas tree, warm lights glowing, sharing laughter and connection with the people we love. For many, these moments carry feelings of comfort, ease, and belonging.

But when you’re managing Long COVID, autoi...

There’s a rhythm to New Year’s resolutions.
After the swirl of the holidays—visits, gatherings, planning, wrapping, cooking—January can feel like the first opportunity you have had to breathe, reset and think about anything beyond getting through the next event. The schedule lightens and space opens ...

The holidays often remind us how much we care for the people in our lives—and how deeply we want to show up for them. But when recovery from Long COVID or another chronic condition reshapes what’s possible, “showing up” can look very different.

This season, it may help to remember: taking care of y...

You may have heard about individual tools that can support your gut health—like probiotics, digestive enzymes, or specific supplements. These can help, especially if you have had tests with a clinician or nutritionist and know what will balance gaps in your digestive system.

But when it comes to re...

Something as simple as hydrating well can lift energy, ease headaches, and improve digestion. One choice doesn’t just affect one area of health—it supports the whole body. Recovery from Long COVID and other infection-induced conditions works much the same way. Each small step may feel insignificant ...

Resilience is the capacity to adapt and recover, even when life challenges our health and energy.

It’s the rhythm created when different parts of the body and brain support one another. Nervous system regulation, movement, balance, vision, and immune health all play a role. When they strengthen tog...

Recently, someone whose family member has Long COVID asked me if I could describe my own experience—what it’s really like to live with an infection-induced chronic condition.

It’s both an easy and a very hard question. As the saying goes: if you’ve met one person with Long COVID, you’ve met one per...
