Happy Satiated Saturday!
In April of 2022, I went to Disney World with my family and came back with covid. It was, unfortunately, the Delta strain that left me with long covid.
I had to use an oxygen concentrator while I slept for about a year while my lungs healed through nebulized steroids and inhalers. I also had the lovely long covid symptom of losing my ability to swallow where I was on an all-liquid way of eating for almost two years.
It's been quite a journey! While there are a few long covid symptoms I still navigate, I am now able to chew and swallow foods again, can sleep soundly, and generally feel much more grounded and stable in my body.
Along the way, I learned so much about how the body works and that food behaviors are multi-faceted and influenced by many different internal factors.
In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Lily Spechler, Long Covid Registered Dietician, about:
- Our own long covid healing journeys
- What can happen in the body after getting long covid
- Navigating histamine, mcas, dysautonomia issues
- How food and supplements can play a role in increasing or decreasing bodily symptoms
- The non-food reasons you may overeat or gain or lose weight
- And a lot more!
Even if you don't have long covid there are so many gems in this episode to take away.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
