EP 26: When Your Body Won’t Bounce Back: Facing Long COVID with Hope with Dr. Nathan Keiser
Episode Description
Long COVID has left many people feeling like strangers in their own bodies—facing relentless fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, and frustration at a healthcare system that doesn’t always provide answers.
In this episode of Dare to Age Well Now, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Keiser, a clinician who approaches healing like a “brain mechanic.” Rather than chasing symptoms, he looks at the underlying mechanisms and helps patients slowly retrain their systems and restore hope.
If you or someone you love has struggled with Long COVID, this conversation offers fresh perspective, encouragement, and a reason to keep believing recovery is possible.
Key Takeaways
- Long COVID affects the body in multiple ways—through nerves, the brain, and blood vessel regulation.
- Fatigue is the most debilitating symptom for many patients and cannot be overcome by willpower alone.
- Dr. Keiser focuses on identifying mechanisms behind symptoms rather than treating them directly.
- Recovery often requires starting small, rebuilding the body step by step, like re-learning from infancy.
- Hope grows when patients see measurable progress, even in small increments.
Quotes
- “Chiropractic and neurology overlap in profound ways when we think about how the brain can be retrained.”
- “Fatigue is the thing that wipes people out—you can’t willpower your way through it.”
- “I think about my work as being a brain mechanic, checking which systems are misfiring and repairing them.”
- “It’s not that you’re doing anything wrong—it’s about nurturing your body back to health.”
- “If you can focus on small steps, even 1% a day, long-term healing becomes possible.”
