Long COVID is not one disease.
I'm going through the peer-reviewed papers and clinical trials to dissect what the evidence shows. So far, I've sorted it into 8 boxes, 8 systems that can go wrong after infection.
A first attempt, not the whole story. More coming.

Check out the sleep watch and oura ring ranking based on clinical trials. 👇🏼
Your smartwatch has never once seen your brain.
Not one second of it.
So how does it actually know you're asleep?
It doesn't. It's guessing. Thread on what scientists found when they tested this against real hospital sleep data. 🧵

This isn't one bad app. A separate analysis pooling 24 studies and nearly 800 participants found the same lopsided pattern, over and over, across completely different devices and research teams.

And this is only half the story.
Part 2 premieres soon: we ranked six watches AND the Oura Ring against real brain data to find out which device actually comes closest to the truth.
The results are not what you'd expect.

The newest episode focusing on autoimmune diseases and Long COVID came out. I focused on the prominent clinical trials linking autoimmunity to Long COVID.
These studies were run by Dr. Iwasaki at Yale University.
This is the 4th box out of 8.

Senescent cells, or zombie cells, are an important topic of conversation.
The late Professor Judith Campisi was one of my advisors and recruited me to work at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging after I met her at a conference.
Her life's work focuses on Senescent cells and how to get rid of them.👇
Senescent cells don’t divide—but they don’t stay quiet either. They can secrete inflammatory signals, alter immunity, and reshape the tissue around them.
Maybe the next revolution isn’t just killing diseased cells.
Maybe it’s teaching the immune system to remove the cells that refuse to die.

Episode 4:
The viruses already inside you. Most adults carry EBV, and about half carry CMV. Both sit dormant for years.
What happens when a severe infection wakes them up?

Tomorrow: Episode 5, Autoimmunity.
When antibodies from Long COVID patients were injected into healthy mice, the mice developed pain sensitivity and coordination problems. What does that mean, and can it be treated?
Premières 2pm EST.
