Recovering from long COVID has been one of the most humbling journeys of my life. If you’re walking this path too, know that you’re not alone—and healing is possible, one gentle step at a time.
For me, recovery hasn’t been about pushing harder, but about listening to my body, honouring rest, and slowly rebuilding my energy and immune system with the right support.
Here are a few things that have genuinely helped me feel stronger, clearer, and more like myself again.
🧘♀️ Daily Nervous System Reset: Magnesium & Adaptogens
Fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety were constant for me. Supplementing with magnesium glycinate and ashwagandha made a huge difference in calming my nervous system and improving sleep quality.

🫁 Breath & Energy Support
My breathing felt shallow for months, and I struggled with post-exertional crashes. Practising gentle breathwork using guided sessions (via YouTube or Calm app), and incorporating CoQ10 helped support my energy production at a cellular level.

💤 Sleep Is Sacred
Deep sleep was non-negotiable. I created a wind-down ritual with a weighted blanket, herbal teas, and blue-light blocking glasses to improve my circadian rhythm.

🧠 Brain Fog Remedies That Helped
I couldn’t concentrate for more than 10 minutes at one point. What helped? Lion’s Mane mushroom, light journaling, and short morning walks (even if they were 5 minutes around the block).

Gentle Reminder
Long COVID recovery is not linear. You don’t need to “hustle” your way back to health. It’s okay to rest, to pause, to nourish yourself. Healing is still happening, even when it’s slow.
If you’re looking for a few tools to support your journey, I hope this list helps. Sending love, warmth, and deep breaths your way. 🌼
With care,
