Little is known about the long-term impact of COVID-19, and some individuals infected with the virus are experiencing long-term symptoms, or "long COVID". In this episode, Steve is joined by two guests: Shelby Hedgecock, who despite her pre-pandemic good health and active lifestyle, continues to experience health impacts of the infection nearly two years after the initial positive test; and Dr. Isabel Pedraza, Director of the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, who shares what she has learned about long COVID including the most common symptoms, treatments, and what we can do to keep ourselves and our loved ones healthy.
