A systems-based resource for decoding a life-altering condition.

Long COVID didn’t just slow me down. It took me out. This illness broke my body in a way I didn’t know was possible.

I went from running companies, flying across the globe to speak on stages, advising startups the world over, and juggling a dozen high-pressure projects…

to being unable to make the bed.

Everything I relied on (think: my health, my mind, my capacity to function) vanished without warning.

The systems that keep a person functioning—regulation, cognition, memory, movement, metabolism—collapsed. My baseline for being human changed.

My body stopped working, and no one had answers. I was left to figure it out myself. If I wanted to live.

So I started tracking everything. Patterns, research, mechanisms, edge theories. I approached it like I do everything else: systems-first.

This isn’t a personal blog or a health journey. (And definitely not medical advice.)

It’s a living resource for understanding what Long COVID actually is: a breakdown of core regulatory systems across the brain, body, and beyond. (As seen through the latest understanding in infection-associated chronic conditions.)

If you’re living this too: I put this together to save you time, energy, and guesswork.

Because when the system fails, understanding it shouldn’t be a full-time job ♥️
