Why I’m Taking a Step Back | Summer’s Long COVID Update

On this deeply personal update, I'm opening up about why I’ve been away—and what’s really been happening behind the scenes.After reaching the best shape of my life, everything took an unexpected turn. What started as metabolic issues quickly spiraled into something much more complex. From new autoimmune concerns to a COVID reinfection, I’ve been dealing with severe fatigue, brain fog, and debilitating crashes that have completely changed my day-to-day life.After months of testing, treatments, and trying to piece things together with my medical team, we finally have some answers—but they come with new challenges. I’m now facing significant vascular complications and heading to Denver for a procedure that I hope will put me back on the path to healing.This episode is about transparency, resilience, and the reality of living with long COVID. I’ll also be documenting this next phase of my journey—sharing what I learn, what helps, and what recovery really looks like.Thank you for being here, for your support, and for walking this journey with me. More updates soon.Learn more about the Microvascular Research Foundation and how you can help at https://mvresearch.org/
