February 05, 2023 Dave
In this episode of the Long Covid Hope podcast, Sarah speaks to Dave in San Diego, USA, about his Long Covid journey from bedbound to planning to hike the Pacific Crest Trail - yes, all of it! In this interview, Dave shares his experiences of his acute and Long Covid phases of illness, and how audio books and the Long Covid open Zoom Room helped him in the early days of Long Covid. We go on to discuss how Dave believes that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), the chicken soup diet, fasting and cleanses helped him to recover his health. He is keen to stress that when he got well, it happened suddenly and quite dramatically, after over two years of Long Covid.

January 29, 2023 Sarah, Long Haul Yogi
In the first episode of the Long Covid Hope podcast, Sarah introduces the show and her hopes and aspirations in creating it. Sarah shares her own Long Covid story, which took her from highly fit and active to bedbound, and later diagnoses of ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, POTS and B12 Deficiency. She discusses how she got ill on Friday the 13th March 2020, her struggles with getting care and the impact Covid had on her family life as a new Mum. In her story, Sarah shares what wasn’t helpful (GET) but what did help her on her recovery journey: pacing using guided meditation, the Dr Myhill protocol of d-ribose, paleo-keto, food-based probiotics and prebiotics, as well as B12 deficiency and supplementation. And how returning to mindful, careful movement with walking and restorative yoga allowed Sarah to overcome her exercise intolerance and expand her ‘energy envelope’, to the extent where she is now back to full health, and working hard to help other Covid long haulers.

January 03, 2023 Introducing the Long Covid Hope Podcast! (Music-free Trailer)
Introducing the Long Covid Hope podcast, the podcast that tells the more hopeful stories from people with Long Covid and related conditions, by Sarah, the Long Haul Yogi. In Season 1, we are shining the light on the First Wavers and their experiences of getting sick with a novel coronavirus and then simply not recovering. The first wave of Long haulers, of which your host Sarah is one, had a very particular experience of having to fight for any help at all and also fight for Long Covid to be recognised as a condition. The First Wavers led the way with patient advocacy, patient research, patient support groups. We were the unfortunate and unwilling pioneers, and now we are the veterans! And, of course, none of this is new to the ME/CFS and other related chronic condition communities, who have given invaluable support and wisdom to long haulers.
In Season 1, we will be hearing from several people like Sarah, who were very sick for many months and years, but have managed to regain their health. Also, we will be interviewing first wavers who are still on their recovery journey, symptomatic but gaining a place of greater stability, sharing their stories and perspectives. There is a huge variety of people and perspectives, from all over the world and with the full spectrum of long covid symptoms. It’s going to be a bit of a wild ride through the wild west of supplements, alternative medicine, adjunct therapies, functional medicine and much, much more. Subscribe and join us!
