Research shows that the gut plays a central role in both the persistence of symptoms and recovery in Long Covid. Recent research highlights how chronic inflammation and gut dysbiosis — an imbalance of gut microbes — contribute to Long COVID’s systemic effects. Fortunately, evidence also suggests that targeted dietary strategies may  help to restore gut balance and strengthen immune resilience.

When you have ME/CFS, Long Covid or Fibromyalgia, your immune function is compromised, a feature of these conditions.  However, you can take action to support your immune system and there are practical steps you can take to make your immune function as strong as possible. If you are deficient in Vitamin D this is likely to further weaken your immune health, so addressing deficiency is key. We also recommend you consider vitamin c and zinc to boost your immune health.

A landmark genetic study brings new hope for the ME/CFS community. The groundbreaking DecodeME project, the largest of its kind in the world, has successfully identified the first robust genetic links to myalgic encephalomyelitis, providing long-awaited scientific validation that this devastating illness is rooted in biology.

Sleep and Circadian Rhythm disruption are very common in ME/CFS, Long Covid and Fibromyalgia.  Circadian rhythms — the body's internal 24-hour clock — play a vital role in regulating sleep, metabolism, hormone release, and digestion. When disrupted, they can significantly affect health, particularly people with ME/CFS, Long Covid and Fibromyalgia, where sleep disturbances and fatigue are common.

Chronic inflammation is a hidden contributor to many modern health conditions. Inflammation is a natural and necessary part of the immune response, however problems arise when it continues long-term. This low-level, ongoing immune activation can gradually damage tissues and organs, contributing to fatigue, joint pain and many aspects of health. Here we describe what is meant by an anti-inflammatory diet, which foods to choose, and which to avoid

Research continues to show that what we eat directly impacts how our immune system functions.  This is particularly important for people with ME/CFS and Long Covid as immune health has been shown by research to be affected in these conditions. Here we look at the key nutrients that are important for immune health and steps you can take to strengthen this aspect of health.

Discover the power of the anti-inflammatory diet for managing CFS, Long COVID, and fibromyalgia. Learn how an anti-inflammatory approach can ease symptoms.

Fructose is a sugar found in fruit and honey and also in some processed foods and sweetened drinks like coke. It sounds harmless, but eating too much fructose can be damaging, particularly in conditions like ME/CFS, Long Covid and Fibromyalgia.   Unlike glucose, fructose is absorbed in the liver and the particular way it is metabolised leads to mitochondrial stress, fat accumulation, inflammation and reduced energy levels.
