Living with Long covid
This podcast aims to raise awareness of long covid, provide a platform of support, education and the lived experience.My name is Julie, I am a registered nurse in the UK. I became unwell with Covid in May 2020 while working on the front line, during the first wave of the pandemic. Subsequently I live with long covid and POTS ( postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). I would like to share my journey and lived experience, the symptoms and how each impacts daily life. I aim to not only consider the physical issues but also the impact this has had mentally and emotionally. It is reported over 2 million people in the UK and an estimated 65 million worldwide, live with long covid. This is huge, and affects every area of a persons life, their family, friendships and work life. Join me and some great guests and let’s Learn, advocate and continue this journey together.
Living with Long covid
Returning guest Rachel Jessey - lets talk about the gut!
In this episode of the podcast I talk with a fantastic returning guest Rachel Jessey.
We talk about all things gut related and the microbiome, Rachel explains how these can be effected by the Circadian rhythm and also how and what we can do to help support a "healthy gut". Listen to Rachel talk about a study that supports the thought process that the circadian rhythm is an important factor for gut health.
Rachel explains how important the cortisol is within this rhythm, we expand on how the Cortisol can be low in people with Long Covid/post viral conditions.
We discuss symptoms challenges and how treatment that we may need has an adverse effect on the gut, but what can we do about it? Rachel shares some little nuggets that may be able help counterbalance those effects.
We briefly touch on faecal implant and this will be expanded on in a later podcast!
Rachel has an educational course available; HIT and MCAS Masterclass, the links for this are below.
