Send us a textBuy Me A CoffeeSummaryIn this conversation, Dr Zeest Khan speaks with Dr. Katie Brown, who shares her journey as a family doctor and a patient with ME/CFS. She discusses the complexities of diagnosing and treating long COVID, particularly focusing on the role of cranio-cervical instability (CCI) and its impact on patients' health. Dr. Brown emphasizes the importance of understanding the symptoms, the challenges in accessing proper care, and the need for collaboration among healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes. She also offers insights into treatment options and encourages both patients and doctors to take ownership of their health and care.BioDr Katie Brown: Katie Brown, MD has dedicated her career to learning how to treat ME/CFS and related conditions, including Long COVID. Her interest stems from her own experience with the disease which she developed during her first year of medical school. She is very grateful to now be in remission and have the chance to use all she has learned, both as a doctor and a patient, to support others with ME/CFS. The clinical uncertainty around ME/CFS should not mean that patients don't get help. In order to educate and encourage other doctors to treat ME/CFS, she is writing a book outlining best practices for primary care doctors.

What if your body's collapse wasn't burnout… but a system crash no test can catch? In this episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes Isabelle Ramirez Burnett, systems engineer, health coach, and founder of Renegade Research, to reveal the silent breakdowns behind ME/CFS, long COVID, and hypermobility-related illness. Diagnosed with ME/CFS at just 7 years old, Isabelle pulls back the curtain on decades of missed diagnoses, medical dismissal, and her discovery of a community willing to do what the healthcare system couldn't—build their own science. You'll hear about the remission that stunned researchers, the controversial meds that gave her life back, and the protocols patients are building from the ground up. If you've ever wondered why your body feels like it's working against you—or what recovery might actually look like—this episode may change everything. Takeaways: She couldn't stand in front of the fridge—until a “taboo” medication changed everything. The labs were normal. Her body was screaming. A grandmother, a diagnosis, and an unstoppable fight for answers. What if your symptoms don't show up on any scan… but still hold the truth? The protocol that sparked a remission—and a global movement. Find the episode transcript here.

If you're struggling with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) or debilitating tiredness that just won't go away, you're not alone—and you're not imagining things. Millions of people suffer from persistent fatigue that conventional medicine often fails to resolve. Fatigue and stress can make everyday tasks like working at a computer feel overwhelming, as seen in this image, which represents the experience of many with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) At the Hedberg Institute, I'm always researching botanical compounds that support microcirculation, mitochondrial health, and immune regulation—all vital in restoring energy. That's why I formulated VascuSelect, a synergistic supplement that contains three powerful plant extracts: Ginkgo biloba, grape seed extract, and mango whole fruit powder. Let's dive into why Ginkgo biloba, in particular, stands out for those dealing with ME/CFS and how it works alongside other ingredients in VascuSelect to support your energy and vitality. An Important Study: Ginkgo Biloba for ME/CFS A recent paper published in Frontiers in Pharmacology (2022) titled “A Botanical Product Containing Cistanche and Ginkgo Extracts Potentially Improves Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Symptoms in Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, and Placebo-Controlled Study” sheds important light on Ginkgo's role in combating chronic fatigue. In this gold-standard clinical trial, 101 adults with ME/CFS received a botanical supplement combining Ginkgo biloba extract (120 mg/day) and Cistanche tubulosa extract (300 mg/day) or a placebo for 60 days. The results were impressive: Significant reductions in fatigue severity Improved physical performance and VO₂ max Enhanced antioxidant status and reduced oxidative stress markers Improved sleep quality and concentration Enhanced quality of life (QOL) and sexual life (SLQ) scores Decreased blood levels of lactic acid and ammonia (both fatigue biomarkers) What's particularly exciting is that Ginkgo biloba played a central role in this formulation. The authors noted that Ginkgo's flavonoids and terpenoids contribute to neuroprotection, vasodilation, and mitochondrial support, all of which are key areas of dysfunction in ME/CFS patients. This study confirms that Ginkgo biloba, known for enhancing blood flow and antioxidant activity, can play a central role in reducing the burdens of ME/CFS. How Ginkgo Biloba Helps Fight Fatigue Ginkgo biloba (standardized to 24% flavonol glycosides and 6% terpenes) is one of the most studied botanical extracts for circulatory and cognitive health. But its applications go far beyond brain support—especially for those with energy-depleting illnesses like ME/CFS. Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest and most studied medicinal plants. It's been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but modern science is now validating its applications for conditions like ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and Long COVID. 1. Improves Microcirculation Ginkgo biloba increases blood flow, especially in the small vessels of the brain and extremities. This is critical in ME/CFS, where impaired oxygen delivery to tissues can worsen fatigue. 2. Supports Mitochondrial Function Many people with ME/CFS experience dysfunctional mitochondria—the energy-producing engines of cells. Ginkgo has been shown to protect mitochondrial membranes and improve ATP production, helping the body generate more usable energy. 3. Reduces Oxidative Stress Oxidative stress is a hallmark of ME/CFS and contributes to inflammation, brain fog, and fatigue. Ginkgo's rich flavonoid profile helps neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative damage. In the study mentioned above, participants taking Ginkgo and Cistanche showed significant increases in antioxidant enzymes like SOD and CAT. 4. Enhances Neurotransmitter Function Ginkgo biloba modulates neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine—chemicals that regulate mood,

I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my new podcast: Infection Connection — a show dedicated to uncovering how stealth infections and hidden pathogens are driving the rise of complex chronic illnesses. If you've followed my work at the Hedberg Institute or listened to past podcast episodes, you know I'm passionate about investigating the root causes of conditions that conventional medicine often struggles to explain. That passion has now evolved into Infection Connection — a focused exploration of the link between infections and the growing epidemic of chronic disease. What You'll Hear on Infection Connection Each episode will take a deep dive into how infections contribute to (or trigger) some of the most challenging chronic illnesses we see today, including: Long COVID Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Lyme Disease and coinfections Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) Mold and Mycotoxin Illness Autoimmune Disease …and many others I'll be drawing on the latest research, clinical experience, and the powerful tools of functional medicine to help practitioners and patients understand how to identify and address these complex drivers of disease. Who Is This Podcast For? Whether you're a health practitioner, a patient on your own healing journey, or simply someone fascinated by the science of chronic illness, Infection Connection will offer insights you won't find anywhere else. Expect evidence-based strategies, cutting-edge perspectives, and real-world case studies that connect the dots between infection and dysfunction. Why the Change? If you've been subscribed to my previous podcast, you'll automatically receive new episodes of Infection Connection — no need to re-subscribe. The updated title and direction reflect where my work has naturally evolved: a deeper focus on infectious root causes and the protocols that work. What's Coming Up The first few episodes will cover: Ginkgo biloba and ME/CFS Herbal and supplement strategies for Long COVID The best herbs for infection-driven insomnia Stay Connected Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, and don't forget to leave a review if you find the content helpful — it really helps others discover the show.

Mark is tien jaar en hij heeft long covid. Al drie jaar is hij ziek: aan het Jeugdjournaal vertelt hij dat hij niet meer hele dagen naar school kan, en dat lang buitenspelen met z'n vrienden of naar judo gaan, niet meer lukt. Mark heeft daarmee natuurlijk enorme pech, maar toch heeft hij ook een beetje geluk. Want hij is ingeloot om behandeld te worden in een van de drie long-COVID centra voor kinderen. Sinds begin dit jaar kunnen daar zo'n 150 kinderen terecht.

If you've been in bed for a year yer gonna be tired after a workouta. You gotta get back on your exercise routine and qitcherbellyaching” —a theory that's led to permanent patient paralysis. The other study is big because it indicates that the damage is mitochondrial, not systematic (i.e., we're getting plenty of blood to our muscles.

Dr. Denis Bouboulis is a leading specialist in Neuro-Immunology, known for his pioneering work in diagnosing and treating PANS/PANDAS, which is a Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS), autoimmune encephalitis, and tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease. As the Founder and Director of Superior Associates Infusion Center and head of Advanced Allergy, Immunology & Asthma in Connecticut, he has successfully treated thousands of patients whose conditions were often overlooked or misdiagnosed. With over 13 years of experience as a board-certified physician and a medical degree from New York Medical College, Dr. Bouboulis is committed to raising awareness and delivering cutting-edge care for both common and complex immune-related conditions.   In today's episode of Conversations on Healing, host Shay Beider welcomes Dr. Denis Bouboulis to discuss vector-borne illness, Long COVID, PANS/PANDAS, and the body's immune response. The two discuss how vector-based infections like Lyme disease and parasitic bacteria can remain dormant until a triggering event—such as COVID-19—causes a breakdown in the immune system, leading to symptomatic and chronic illness. Dr. Bouboulis also talks about autoimmune encephalitis, particularly how the basal ganglia is affected and why a holistic, interdisciplinary approach is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment. He shares how he treats some of these autoimmune diseases, and offers hope to patients.   Listen to the complete episode by clicking the player above.

In this episode, Stacy S. Hirsch, MES, CMT-P joins Evan H. Hirsch, MD, to explore about the emotional root causes behind persistent fatigue and how internalized pressure might be keeping you stuck. Drawing from her own recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome, Stacy shares how unprocessed emotions, somatic awareness, and self-intimacy can play a key role in healing. She also explores the importance of leadership, connection, and mindfulness practices in building sustainable resilience.

Dr. Aileen Marty, Infectious Disease Specialist and Professor at Florida International University, joins Bob Sirott to talk about the latest health news. Dr. Marty shares what will be discussed in the CDC’s vaccine advisory meeting and the impact Long COVID has on aging.

Recovery doesn't have to be perfect to be effective, and sometimes the very quest for perfect recovery can keep us stuck in our healing journey. Jo Thomas shares her personal experience with overcoming POTS and chronic fatigue, highlighting how shifting mindsets and letting go of perfectionism accelerated her healing process.• Jo's recovery journey came in layers—medical management first, followed by lifestyle changes and nervous system regulation• Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overachieving often contribute to chronic fatigue and can hinder recovery• Focus on responding appropriately to your body rather than pushing for linear progress• Your responsibility is to take appropriate recovery actions, not to control how your body responds• What feels like a setback might actually be a normal bodily response to increased activity• Recovery often means living life differently than before—usually in better alignment with your values• Becoming overly focused on achieving "full recovery" can create pressure that impedes progress• Our bodies communicate through symptoms—learning to interpret them rather than fear them is key• Many people discover that post-recovery life is actually better than pre-illness life• "Keeping yourself in wellness" becomes a lifelong practice rather than reaching a finish lineLinks:Jo's website: https://jothomascoaching.com/Message the podcast! - questions will be answered on my youtube channel :) For more information about Long Covid Breathing courses & workshops, please check out LongCovidBreathing.com (music credit - Brock Hewitt, Rule of Life) Support the show~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Long Covid Podcast is self-produced & self funded.

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemyThis month marked five years since the formal start of the pandemic in the United States in March 2020, when the federal government declared the arrival and spread of the novel coronavirus to be a national emergency. The official Covid death toll in the United States now stands at over 1.2 million; globally it surpasses 20 million people. Tens of millions of others were hospitalized, and many who survived infection are facing long Covid or related health complications. Our lives were upended, whether by sheltering-in-place, working from home, and barely leaving our home or apartment, or, for others, by endangering themselves by continuing to show up to work in hospitals, making deliveries, or staffing essential businesses. And yet, as David Wallace-Wells recently argued in the New York Times, "We tell ourselves we've moved on and hardly talk about the disease or all the people who died or the way the trauma and tumult have transformed us. But Covid changed everything around us."We wanted to have a conversation with David about that reality: why, collectively, we resist acknowledging what Covid really cost us, and the ways it continues to shape our lives. The discussion begins by revisiting the first weeks and months of the pandemic, the fear we felt, and the remarkable displays of solidarity that occurred in blue states as well as red states. From there we explore the different "phases" of the pandemic, how public-health measures became culture-war fodder, the impact of the vaccine on how both the public and elected officials perceived the risks of Covid, the pandemic's profound influence on our politics, the fallout from school closures, the Lab Leak Theory, and more.Listen again: "How to Survive a Pandemic" (w/ Peter Staley), Feb 21, 2021Sources:David Wallace-Wells, "How Covid Remade America," New York Times, Mar 4, 2025— "The Covid Alarmists Were Closer to the Truth Than Anyone Else," New York Times, Feb 26, 2025— "We've Been Talking About the Lab-Leak Hypothesis All Wrong," New York Times, Feb 28, 2023— "Dr. Fauci Looks Back: ‘Something Clearly Went Wrong'," New York Times, April 24, 2023David Wallace-Wells, The Uninhabitable Earth (2019)Nicholson Baker, "The Lab-Leak Hypothesis," New York Magazine, Jan 4, 2021Zeynep Tufekci, "We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives," NYTimes, Mar 16, 2025.Sam Adler-Bell, "Doctor Do-Little​: The Case Against Anthony Fauci," The Drift, Jan 24, 2021— "David Leonhardt: The Pandemic Interpreter," NYMag, Feb 24, 2022.Jacqueline Rose, "To Die One's Own Death," LRB, Nov 19, 2020.
