The Recovery Room with Jackie Baxter

Episode 132 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with the wonderful Hadas Golan & Rosalba Courtney. Hadas and Rosalba have been collaborating on working with people with Long Covid and have recently published a series of case studies detailing their successes.

We take a deep dive into my favourite subject - breathing - discussing some of the underlying pathology and how this relates to using breathing as an intervention to help Long Covid, if done correctly.

Episode 125 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Peter Burt. Peter has found himself "washed up on a desert island" after floating around in the sea of Long Covid for a couple of years. We talk through a lot of fascinasting stuff, the idea of "not feeling like a man" and how difficult but extremely important it is to ask for help - and then receive it!

This is such an honest conversation - thankyou Peter for being brave and getting in touch, and we hope that this will resonate with others who are struggling.

Episode 124 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Dr Elizabeth So about East Asian Medicine. We take a deep dive into what EAM is and some of the background to it, as well as how it can help with conditions such as Long Covid - and why!

This was such a fascinating discussion - we could have carried on for hours - and one of the biggest takeaways for me was the need to work together. That, and I've basically committed myself to trying Acupuncture now...
