In this powerful episode of You’re the Cure, Dr. Ben Edwards sits down with nurse practitioner and researcher Summer Powers, DNP, CRNP, ACNP-BC to unpack her deeply personal and professional journey through the COVID-19 pandemic. From the early ICU days of proning critically ill patients to her own harrowing struggle with long COVID, Summer shares how she navigated medical gaslighting, battled for answers, and ultimately found healing through innovative, outside-the-box care.

Now serving as Director of Clinical Research at the Microvascular Research Foundation, Summer reveals what she’s learned about the spike protein, microclotting, and why so many patients are still suffering without answers. Together, she and Dr. Edwards highlight the importance of humility in medicine, root-cause healing, and empowering patients to advocate for their health.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a call to rethink medicine, restore trust, and bring hope to those still searching for solutions.
