In this episode, Sarah speaks with Chris, known online as Chris GeoCK, who is a Geoscientist, cyclist and adventurer, side-lined by Covid in December 2021. Chris shares his story of how he got from very severe POTS symptoms along side many other LC symptoms, to the place where he feels 85-90% recovered (and continuing to improve - check out his recent Twitter posts for his cycling exploits!). We have a very wide ranging and information-rich conversation where Chris shares his experience with HBOT, the Nicotine Test experimental therapy and the Mind-Body connection. Chris actually credits "lose any fear or concern for his symptoms" as the biggest help in his recovery to date.
