Description

Shining a light on invisible illness.

Emily Kate Stephens, journalist and Long Covid sufferer, discusses the latest research and insights with the world’s leading experts, scientists and healthcare professionals.  Including ME/CFS, Long Covid, Ehlers Danlos (EDS), Fibromyalgia, POTS, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Chronic Lyme, Infection Associated Chronic Conditions (IACCs) and more, we dive into the science of energy-limiting, chronic illness, whilst providing patients, caregivers and medical professionals with practical tools to diagnose, understand and manage their conditions.

From pacing to supplements, repurposed drugs to biomarkers, therapies to advocacy groups, we share the work that is being done for and by the community, helping patients navigate their symptoms, emotions and lives.

Join us every two weeks.
