The Recovery Room with Jackie Baxter

Episode 52 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Dr Margaret Koziel, Chief Medical Officer of Axcella Therapeutics. Earlier this year I spoke to Margaret (& Bill, CEO) about AXA1125, a drug they are developing to help people with Long Covid.

When we spoke before, they were just heading into Clinical Trials for AXA1125, and Margaret is here to tell us about the exciting results from that trial, and also the next steps.

Episode 44 of the Long Covid Podcast welcomes back Moira Newiss, Nutritional Therapist, to talk a bit more in depth about how we make our energy. If you haven't already, I highly recommend listening to episode 21 where Moira talks a lot about different foods.

Episode 43 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Dr Mohammad Bashashati, Clinician Scientist & Internist  and Senior GI Fellow at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in El Paso, Texas. We chat about GI issues in both acute and Long Covid, and the huge numbers of people who present with these issues, despite it being a topic that isn't talked about enough.

We chat about DGBI (disorders of the gut brain interaction), what this means and what might help to treat and manage them.
