Long COVID is not one disease.
I'm going through the peer-reviewed papers and clinical trials to dissect what the evidence shows. So far, I've sorted it into 8 boxes, 8 systems that can go wrong after infection.
A first attempt, not the whole story. More coming.

One sleepless night raised beta-amyloid, the Alzheimer’s protein, about 5% in the brain’s memory center.
One night won’t give you Alzheimer’s.
But years of 6 hours or less? About 30% higher dementia risk in a 25-year study.
Sleep isn’t downtime. It’s maintenance.
What not to say when you are a scientist working on “aging” and aging related diseases.
The comment is … three points …
1. Distasteful
And sometimes other scientists could interpret this as
2. Do not really understand what cancer is and how it relates to aging
3. Do not really understand aging and what causes aging in humans
But because who he is … he gets away with it 🤷🏻♀️

This is the first article of a series focusing on iron deficiency. I plan to cover different causes, from aging to cancer, and which tests to order to rule out other diseases.

Just premiered:
A Mayo Clinic study of nearly 800 people found the gut signal in Long COVID was weak overall, but strong in two groups.
People whose symptoms were mostly gut related, and people whose main symptom was fatigue.
What that means 👇

She was told it was Parkinson’s.
She fell twice. The room went grey when she stood. Her meds “maybe” helped.
3 red flags. Nobody caught them.
What does Ruth really have? 👇

Ruth’s full story, and the four questions to ask your neurologist: youtu.be/Q5Shn4QnE_8?si=n1fv…
Two people. Same Parkinson’s diagnosis.
One is still walking 10 years later. The other struggles within 3.
Why? In brain studies after death, more than 9 in 10 people with Parkinson’s had something else there too.
Almost nobody has pure Parkinson’s.
Full episode, including the four questions to ask your neurologist
