Have you gone from feeling really fit to getting wiped out by long Covid symptoms? This clip explores how long Covid can share similarities with concussion and traumatic brain injury, especially around brain metabolism, inflammation, and changes in how the brain uses lactate and glucose. Stacy Sims breaks down why going all-out can backfire, and why aiming for 75 to 80% effort helps you build fitness without triggering the fatigue state that brings symptoms back. She also discusses supplementation considerations, including omega-3s and creatine, as part of supporting recovery.
