The truth is that long Covid is a very poorly understood, poorly defined condition. As a result people who are severely debilitated get told they are faking, or their symptoms are "all in their head."
This creates a situation in which any therapy perceived to validate that position is automatically seen as a threat. Patients who do recover using mind-body therapies are thus doubly gaslit: by the public that thinks their symptoms are fake, and then by people like @TaylorLorenz, who assert that their RECOVERY must also be fake!
There are likely many, many different subtypes of what is referred to under the broad umbrella of long Covid. Some of those subtypes might respond to so-called "mind-body therapies," or gentle exercise, or a range of interventions that are currently taboo.
Unfortunately, we cannot have a conversation about that possibility, or how to sort those who would respond from those who wouldn't, because even suggesting the possibility leads to the accusation that this is about invalidating their sickness and saying it's fake.
What I highlight here is that it's PATIENTS who suffer the consequences. I report on patients who were incredibly sick, and then got better. If reporting their stories faithfully is garbage, it's not me who's being accused of laundering pseudoscience. It's the patients themselves.

@LisaDeP Diet Coke is a big red line: on one side, people actually interested in health and outcomes, on the other, a modern nutritional puritanism that mistakes moral certainty for science.
Fun podcast with actor and Gen Xer @EthanSuplee! You may recognize him from Mallrats, Wolf of Wall Street, My Name is Earl, Remember the Titans, and more. Or you may not because he's lost over 200 pounds! https://t.co/pAI8cMACgg

I interviewed actor @EthanSuplee who hasn't actually seen the movies that made him famous (Mallrats, Remember the Titans, Blow, American History X, etc.) 🎥
#BlackFriday & #CyberMonday are a minefield of “miracle” supplements, shortcut workouts, and wellness hacks that sound way too good to be true. Some are harmless, some waste your money, and some can actually set you back.
Tonight, @EthanSuplee sits down with @bornfitness to break down the season’s biggest health hustles and how to avoid getting hooked.

TONIGHT at 7pm ET, a different kind of health conversation begins with @EthanSuplee.
The premise of LIFELONG is straightforward: #health isn’t a finish line; it’s an ongoing practice. Each Monday, the show creates a space to reset, recalibrate, and recommit — together.
