If you've been told there's nothing more to do for your long COVID, or that the research just isn't there yet, this episode pushes back on both claims.
Dr. Zimmerman NP, DC, DACNB breaks down one of the most comprehensive 2025 research papers on the neurological effects of long COVID, walking through what's actually driving symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, dizziness, mood changes, and post-exertional malaise.
He covers the imaging and lab findings showing real, measurable brain changes, the overlapping mechanisms long COVID shares with POTS, MCAS, EDS, ME/CFS, and post-concussion syndrome, and why treating these as separate, isolated diagnoses keeps people stuck.
You'll learn why a single test or single treatment was never going to be the answer, what a layered, multimodal approach actually looks like, and why most people aren't failing because they're "defective" — they're failing because the approach they were given wasn't built for the complexity of what's really going on. This is research translated into something you can actually use, and a roadmap for the conversation to have with any provider willing to dig in with you.
