Episode 40 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with the wonderful Dr Boon Lim. We talk about the heart and how it's connected to the rest of the body, what can go wrong when something like Long Covid affects the body and how we can help ourselves and get better (what more could we want?!)I have already listened to this episode several times myself and actually felt instantly slightly better after hearing it! It's quite a long listen but it's really worth getting to the end, even if you need to take a break.

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.Links:Check out Sam's book "We Will Covive" Website HERE & buy the book HERE Sam's Blue Monkey Coaching website HERE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Long Covid Podcast is self-produced & self funded.

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.Links:Long Covid Cured website: longcovidcured.comNicole Sachs podcast HEREDr Schubiner "Unlearn you pain" HERE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Long Covid Podcast is self-produced & self funded.
