Happy Satiated Saturday!

In April of 2022, I went to Disney World with my family and came back with covid. It was, unfortunately, the Delta strain that left me with long covid.

I had to use an oxygen concentrator while I slept for about a year while my lungs healed through nebulized steroids and inhalers. I also had the lovely long covid symptom of losing my ability to swallow where I was on an all-liquid way of eating for almost two years.

It's been quite a journey! While there are a few long covid symptoms I still navigate, I am now able to chew and swallow foods again, can sleep soundly, and generally feel much more grounded and stable in my body.

Along the way, I learned so much about how the body works and that food behaviors are multi-faceted and influenced by many different internal factors.

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Lily Spechler, Long Covid Registered Dietician, about:

Our own long covid healing journeys
What can happen in the body after getting long covid
Navigating histamine, mcas, dysautonomia issues
How food and supplements can play a role in increasing or decreasing bodily symptoms
The non-food reasons you may overeat or gain or lose weight
And a lot more!

Even if you don't have long covid there are so many gems in this episode to take away.
