Karen Wright from Sage Health and Wellness shares her powerful recovery story from Long COVID, offering hope and practical wisdom for those still struggling with chronic illness. • Karen was a busy NHS physiotherapist involved in developing Long COVID services before becoming ill herself in autumn 2021 • Her severe case left her unable to speak at times, care for her children, or maintain basic daily activities • Understanding and accepting true rest became fundamental to her recovery journey • Finding her energy baseline through careful observation of triggers like food, light sensitivity and conversation was crucial • Small, consistent actions over time led to gradual improvement including nutrition changes and gentle movement • An unexpected thyroid cancer diagnosis revealed how some of her persistent symptoms may have been related to cancer rather than Long COVID • Karen's recovery insights led her to launch Sage Health and Wellness to support others through education programs • Self-acceptance emerges as a core message: "You're valuable as you are, whatever your productivity looks like" Links : Connect with Karen at Sage Health & Wellness: www.sagehealthandwellness.co.uk Message the podcast! - questions will be answered on my youtube channel :) For more information about Long Covid Breathing courses & workshops, please check out LongCovidBreathing.com (music credit - Brock Hewitt, Rule of Life) Support the show ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Long Covid Podcast is self-produced & self funded.
